#278 Trees and Silhouettes

Couldn’t stop myself from photographing some silhouettes the other day. It was a a true silhouette evening – they were just waiting to be shot… Just minutes after I had to stop the car and point my camera towards the church in the small village next to our. The pictures could have been in color…

#277 A change in black and white

I used to love to walk around a city with my Leica over my shoulder. There are so much to shoot in a city; cityscapes, architecture, people, streets and so on. I still do the city walks – but can’t find the same joy any more. Instead it is the calming nature that draw my…

#276 A Swedish Paradise

Just north of the small town Simrishamn, at the Swedish south coast, you find one of the most beautiful beaches in Sweden – Knäbäckshusen (the houses of Knäbäcken). To mee it looks like a paradise island. Well…at least until you notice that the water is considerbly colder than it would be at a paradise island…and…

#273 About a Picture

Early morning in the little village Vik, at the Swedish south coast. The fog is really thick. We are heading for the sea…but we can’t see it. Leica M10 and Summilux 50mm Asph

#272 Leica Hike

We have taken a couple of days off from work to hike in one of my favourite parts of Sweden; Österlen. Yesterday was a fantastic day – almost like summer. We started off with a 12 km hike around the ”Hills of Brösarp”. My Leica M10 is here for the first time and it is…

#270 About a Picture

Took my bike for a ride the other day. Had my camera with me in case of finding a picture along the way. The problem was that I had zero inspiration. The nature around me was starting to show signs of autumn – still nothing really caught my eye. Finally I stopped to have a…

#257 About a Picture

From a distance the island looked like a ghost island. As we got closer we saw what had happened. Cormorants. The trees were full of them. In a way it had become a ghost island. Leica M10 and Zeiss 2,8/35 ZM Biogon

#251 Why I like Black and White

Finally a day when spring seems to be in sight. Took my camera, coffee and an egg-sandwich…and my wife…and drove to a nearby lake. In fact the second largest lake in Sweden – Lake Vättern. The exact spot; 58.6681886N, 14.9245707E I used my camera set to Black and White today. I was inspired by a…

#250 About a Picture

We are often passing this small farm with sheep as we take walks near our home. I have posted pictures from here a couple of times on the blog. Today we passed again. In fact I had already passed the sheep when my wife said – ”look in the door – how cute :-)”. I…

#248 Between the rain showers

Between the rain showers we went for a walk on the countryside. Tomorrow the snow is supposed to come back again. Took a few shots with my MP. Have shot RAW for a while – but decided to go back to JPG:s again. Used the color filter ”Smooth Color” in the camera. No editing.

#245 A 35mm lens

Started my day with an early morning walk around a small local lake today. I only met one person and he was on his way home. He had been there since before sunrise and photographed birds. He had an enormous lens on his camera – at least 500mm. Pointed at my camera and asked what…

#237 Too easy?

Another beautiful day, another hike. Todays trip went to the castle of Bjärka Säby, south of Linköping. It may have been sunny – but it was pretty cold. It was a short hike – about 5 km – but we found a place we have to revisit when spring comes. As you know [if you…
