#401 Omberg i kvadrat

Det är inte varje dag jag provar något nytt i fotografins värld – men plötsligt händer det. Jag fotograferar i kvadratiskt format!! Det är ju kanske inte precis nytt att fotografera i det kvadratiska formatet. Snarare tvärt om. Men rent krasst så har jag inte fotograferat medvetet kvadratiskt sedan början av 1990-talet, då jag lånade…

#391 Fält och åkrar

Just nu är fälten och åkrarna i full verksamhet. Det växer så det knakar här i Östergötland. Vissa är gröna, vissa är gula och vissa är gröngula… Panoramaformatet känns som ett naturligt sätt att avbilda dessa öppna landskap. Det hade varit ganska häftigt att prova en Hasselblad X-Pan, som fotograferar i formatet 2,7:1 – dvs…

#385 Om en bild

Var ute på en löprunda igår morse och passerade denna vy. Naturligtvis hade jag inte kameran med mig då, så jag var tvungen att återvända senare på dagen. Även om inte sommaren riktigt kommit igång här i Sverige än, så är ändå detta en bild som representerar den svenska sommaren för mig. Fälten är som…

#378 About a Picture

A picture from our trip to Lofoten last summer. One of my favourite pictures from this trip. It shows the dramatic landscape in a nice way. It is originally a digital color photo, but I must say that I like this black and white version even more. Leica M10 and a lens I can’t remember

#377 The following day…

After a saturday that was best shown in black and white we had a colorful sunday. Still cold – but the sun can change everything. A seven kilometer hike in the countryside almost gave us a sense of spring – but I am confident that the snow will return for real at least for a…

#367 A Leica M10 and a 50 in the Swedish winter

There are a couple of days each winter that stand out. Yesterday was one of those. The low sun was shining through a thin layer of clouds. No wind and minus ten degrees Celsius. The Leica M10 and the Zeiss 50 Planar accompanied me as we went for a walk nearby our home. We passed…

#363 The weather is always good for photography

This December saturday offered us low clouds, moderate winds, about 3 degrees Celsius and a slight drizzle. We didn’t care. Here in Sweden we have a saying;”There is no bad weather – only bad clothing”. We set out for a short hike with hot coffee in my bag. And my camera of course. In the…

#359 Sunday hike

Today we went for a short hike in the area Tinnerö, just outside Linköping. Cold wind and mostly cloudy skies. Still some snow on the ground which gave me some nice pictures. As we got home, the rain started and now all snow is gone…for now. The pictures were shot using my M10 and the…

#356 Another Nature Reserve

We were heading south on a hiking trip. The weather forecast said rain at our destination and we decided to take a hike half way there, to avoid the rain. The map showed that there was a Nature Reserve called ”Dumme Mosse” just outside the city of Jönköping. It proved to be a really beautiful…

#349 Ilford Pan F Plus 50

A couple of weeks ago I tried out a new black and white film; the Ilford Pan F 50. Well – it was new to me at least… I was looking for a slow film to be able to shoot wide open during daylight, without using a ND-filter. I found the Pan F 50 when…

#345 Yellow…and blue

It doesn’t matter how much I love black and white photography – this time of year I just have to shoot in color. We had a beautiful day in Linköping today. The yellow colors are glowing in the sun. Found this blue bicycle that probably was about my age. Liked the blue color in contrast…
