#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…

#244 About a Picture

Arrived to Norrköping Central Station when it was almost dark today. My train from Stockholm was delayed by an hour. The connecting train was on time, but I had half an hours wait first. It was cold outside tonight, so it was tempting to sit and have a cup of tee inside the station building….

#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…

#240 Tracks of snow

As usual winter came back when we thought it was over. Ten centimeters of snow in a few hours and with it colder temperatures. And it seems like it will stay för a week or two…but then spring should be around the corner Down by the water I found tracks from somebody that walked their…

#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….

#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…

#236 Wind, sun and patterns

A windy day in southern Sweden today. The sun is shining and the temp is around 5 degrees C. The wind is making a nice pattern in the water puddle. My Fujifilm X-T2 is out and about with me. Lately I have almost exclusively used my Leica M on a daily basis, but sometimes it…

#235 Light after sunset

Arrived to Uppsala tonight just after sunset. The sky was glowing in fantastic colors. Luckily I never leave the house without my camera. The two towers of Uppsala Cathedral are silhouetted on the sky. When I moved the camera slightly to the right, the colors were different – beautifully reflected in the windows of the…

#234 Giants

Oak trees are the giants of the Swedish nature. It doesn’t matter wich time of year it is. The oak tree stands as the master of all trees – and has done so for hundreds of years. Pictures from ”Tinnerö Oak Landscape” in Linköping, Sweden. Shot with Fujifilm X-T2 and a Fujinon 50-140/2,8. Overedited in…
