#396 Marknadsdags

Så var det första onsdagen och torsdagen i augusti månad. Det är då Sveriges största – och äldsta – gatu- och torgmarknad går av stapeln i lilla Skänninge i Östergötland. Och jag är där med min kamera, som vanligt… Marknaden sträcker sig längs gatorna åt olika håll i staden. Vårfrukyrkan med anor från 1200-talet syns…

#390 Golf i solnedgången

Igår spelade vi en fantastisk golfrunda på Ombergs golfbana utanför Ödeshög i Östergötland. Banan ligger precis vid Vättern och om man tajmar sin runda bra får man en solnedgång som heter duga på köpet. Hål 13 och 14 är något av Ombergs ”signaturhål”. Bilderna ovan är från det senare. Det är många kameror som åker…

#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…

#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…

#299 About a Picture

The snow is gently melting away around our neighbourhood. Ice still covers the small country road where we often walk. The sun doesn’t fully reach it yet…but now it is only a matter of time. Still – it is only January and the winter will probably come back again…

#291 Vadstena

Sunday. Still cold weather outside, but that didn’t stop us from taking a hike around Vadstena, by Lake Vättern. Interesting to see how the Leica M10 would handle minus 10 dregrees Celsius. We were outside for about an hour and a half and the M10 worked just fine. Nice to know… It is not every…

#290 About a Picture

Minus 17 degrees celsius. The sun has just set and the mist almost hides the church in the nearby village. What a sight…

#289 Cold sunset

Really really cold in Sweden tonight. About -40 degrees celsius in the north and ”only” -12 down here in the south. The sky was fantastic as the sun set. I went to a nearby church and took some pictures with my M10 on a tripod. Used the Zeiss 4,5/21mm on the camera.

#287 A White Christmas

It seems it will be a white Christmas after all. The last two days it has snowed more or less all the time. There were cars both here and there along the way to town today. Sometimes I wonder if people dont realize that snow makes the roads slippery… The pictures from todays post are…

#280 Colors

I love black and white photography – but sometimes I just have to shoot in color. October is a month of color where I live… Leica M10 and Zeiss Biogon 35/2,8

#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…

#271 Monochrome

Today I went monochrome again. It was just one of those days. I have found that even if I shoot only RAW with my Leica M10, I can set Monochrome mode to ”ON”. I am not sure if I could do that on my older Leicas…but that is a nice feature. That way I get…
