#262 Colors in Stockholm

Work night in Stockholm. Went for a short evening walk in the blocks around my hotel. The small park ”Humlegården” was full of life. Nice to see so many people having a good time playing games, eating, walking, sightseeing and drinking (!). Colors were amazing in the park, with the setting sun behind the houses….

#243 What is the problem?

After I wrote my last post I realized that it may sound strange to some that I had to ”learn the new lens”. You could argue that it would be obvious in the finder, that an aperture should be set in another way to get a sharp picture. The thing is that this is a…

#241 Three of the same

There are never one way to take a picture. You can use different lenses, go closer, lower, shoot upside down, overexpose or use monochrome mode. Another way is to use different aperures or focus plans. Here I shot exactly the same motive in three different ways. The picture above is perhaps the most common way…

#238 Uninspired in Stockholm

In Stockholm for work and felt like taking a photowalk in the evening. Had my camera with me of course – but I think I left my inspiration at home. Found a café and sat down for an hour (in the window above, all the way to the left) and watched people outside pass by….

#230 About a Picture

The sun is shining low between the buildings. It is almost impossible to see down the street. People are reduced to silhouettes in the strong hard light. But they don’t care. They are just enjoying the beautiful day in Stockholm…

#215 Citylife in BNW

I am in one of my Black and White periods at the moment. In a city like Stockholm it can be tempting to shoot color photos. Aspecially around christmas when the whole city is lit up. But I had decided to have my camera set to black and white jpg:s, to get in the right…

#155 Waking up

Spent a couple of days in Stockholm, just for fun. Had a camera in my bag this time (usually I have it in my hand or at least over my shoulder…). Took it out every now and then – but the main purpose of the trip was not photography this time… I love a city…

#77 Fan Ho inspiration

One way to grow your photography is to look at how others do it (or did do). I am not an expert in the topic – far from it – but I have found some favorites lately. One of them is the Chinese photographer Fan Ho (1931-2016) – a master of lights and shadows. I…

#31 Rain

#25 How to ruin a project

Well. So much for making a small project for myself. A simple goal; take some pictures with the Fuji 10-24/f4 in Stockholm. Can a project be easier? And did i make it? Nooooo… A good thing would be to actually bring the lens and camera you are to use. Did I do that? Nope! I…
