#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…

#269 Leica Summilux 1,4/50mm Asph

The Summilux 50mm Aspherical is one of my dream lenses of all times. I bought one (used) a couple of months ago – after selling a row of lenses I almost never used. I have been using it as my main lens since then… I prefer to use the lens wide open – why else…

#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

#256 Market Day

Today was market day in ”Old Linköping”. It was a really nice day and the market was full of people. The theme of the market was mainly plants – but there was a lot of other things as well… Handcraft is often seen at markets in ”Old Linköping”. The trees have got that light green…

#253 Late arrival

Finally it starts to show it self. Spring. Pretty late this year – isn’t it? Suppose it can be related to the climate changes of our world. I shot these pictures in Linköping yesterday with my trusty MP240 (even though it has a little flaw…). Love this part of the year…good thing I didn’t leave…

#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.

#247 Morning in Norrköping

Had the time to go for a walk in Norrköping before work the other day. Found me a bridge – but that was not all… One of the main streets in Norrköping City early in the morning. The yellow trams goes up and down the street all day. At this early hour only a few…

#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…

#239 A scent from the past

When we walk into a library there is this special scent, that has always been the same. The scent of books. We who grew up before the internet spent a lot of time in librarys, searching for information as we went through school. I doubt that my children will remember this scent as I do….

#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…
