#369 About a Picture

Walked past this red beauty today in central Linköping. I didn’t have the camera ready and at first I walked right by it. As I passed it I turned around and took another look. Then I saw the lamp that was mounted on the handle bars and was sold. I had to have a picture….

#367 A Leica M10 and a 50 in the Swedish winter

There are a couple of days each winter that stand out. Yesterday was one of those. The low sun was shining through a thin layer of clouds. No wind and minus ten degrees Celsius. The Leica M10 and the Zeiss 50 Planar accompanied me as we went for a walk nearby our home. We passed…

#365 My 2025 Camera Bag

Let´s talk about gear for a while! I have tried so many cameras, lenses and camera bags through the years and it is possible this will only be my camera bag for january 2025…who knows… Anyway. At the moment I find my self in a state of mind that is quite pleased with what I’ve…

#358 Zeiss 4,5/21 ZM vs 2,8/21 ZM

I felt I had to make a post about the two 21mm Zeiss lenses that I own at the moment. I selected a lens profile that would work from the Zeiss website (below) and took a shot with each at f8 through our livingroom window. The left picture is from the 4,5 lens and the…

#331 Tivoli and a Zeiss 21mm

Tivoli in Copenhagen is packed with people this time of year. As it turned out my Zeiss 4,5/21 Biogon was a good lens for this nice old amusement park. The small train is slowly rolling the full, narrow streets of Tivoli. The picture above is one of my favourites from the visit to Tivoli. I…

#310 Shooting Zeiss 4,5/21 ZM Biogon in Stockholm

Today I set out to shoot my Zeiss 4,5/21mm Biogon lens on my Leica M10 in Stockholm. It was a warm and sunny late afternoon – one of the warmest this year. I started out in the vicinity of the Central Station, where my hotel was. I walked to the southern parts of the city…

#231 Going Crazy

I found this fun little collection of small sculptures today, as I was out walking. Tried to find a way to shoot them that maybe could be a little interesting…or at least nice. The light was rather nice as well. Took a couple of pictures and finally chose one. Normally I would have placed a…

#222 Gear

Rainy and cold outside. Got an idea to make a page about gear for my Blog. No affiliate links to make money – just a little about my photography gear. The gear doesn’t matter is what we hear everywhere…but it does. At least for me. It doesn’t make the pictures that much better…but it feels…

#219 Christmas feeling in Linköping

A couple of years ago we were in Vienna in early December. Now that is a city that prepare for Christmas in a serious way. The whole city centre is a large Christmas Market. Today we went to our city – Linköping – to see if Linköping is prepared for Christmas. I had my Zeiss…

#218 Using wide lenses on the Leica M240

A couple of months ago I noticed that some of my pictures had a purple tint in the right side of the picture. In a closer look I saw it in the left side as well. The first thought was that there was a sensor problem with my MP240. I shivered as I imagined the…

#195 Shooting in the evening

Taking a walk in the evening as the sun sets, with my Leica M. The Zeiss 2/35 is mounted. Really pleased with the decision to go back to Zeiss, by the way. The results are great. Sharp, nice colors, no flare and great handling. The daylight fades away and the moon is rising. Perhaps one…

#187 About a Picture

I was half asleep as the train rolled in at the airport station. As it made a complete stop I glanced up. There was a picture outside the window – waiting to be shot. The bored woman leaning on her blue backpack, piled on top of the yellow hard bag. The next moment people went…
