I realised that I could’ve done better with yesterday’s images. The nuthatch could be cropped differently to make use of the full width of the image and get rid of some of the excess on top. And while I was processing it, I decided to add some more canvas for good measure so now there’s…

Windy today, so no fog. But overcast in the morning, so I photographed the birds, what else? Yesterday when I got some nice pictures of the more elusive birds, I started thinking that maybe I’ve exhausted the opportunities at my bird feeder. But never underestimate the birds. Instead of shooting the birds on the perch,…

When I came home yesterday, I realised that the morning fog had never dissipated during the day. It was sunny in Ljusdal but a few km before Loos the landscape was shrouded in fog, which made think that it could well be the same thing today. The fog is very sensitive to altitude and then…

The weather was just perfect for bird photography. It was foggy, but it was the light autumn fog that allowed the sunlight to break through a little bit because somewhere above the fog there were blue skies. Which means, I can use a lower ISO for the birds while the background will be distraction free.…

We had a long trip to the Orsa-Finnmark today. The weather was anything but photogenic, overcast and very windy so the grand view we had from our first stop at Finnberget was wasted. Since my only picture from the place is not a very good, I won’t post it but I couldn’t resist using the…

Let’s see. Last Sunday was supposed to be sunny but it wasn’t. Then all week it has been sunny and calm, just simply gorgeous weather that I wasted in the office. And now it’s Saturday and it’s overcast and windy. I’m sure that the weather doesn’t read the calendar but this is just cruel. But…

It was a rainy and overcast day on Saturday, it didn’t clear up until right at sunset. Which gave me some nice clouds to shoot, it must be the first sunset I’ve caught since… since… apparently quite a long time. Sunday morning on the other hand was as bright as it gets in September. Maybe…

I set up my bird feeder site really early this year. It turned out to be a popular move because I’ve needed to refill the feeders every evening. All week I was wondering why the food is disappearing so fast because I knew from experience that the tits don’t eat that much… then today I…

The highest mountain in the Gävleborg county is Stora Korpimäki (or Korpmägg because the Swedes can’t spell Finnish) at 711 m. It’s a forest covered peak and up on top the forest takes on some alpine characteristics, but the point is that it’s still forest. Which means that high as the peak is, your views…

Raining. I’m good at rain-proofing myself and the camera, so I drove to Skärkdalen to photograph the Silver Falls I visited in the summer. It’s a 2 km hike from the car to the creek, the trail goes through some mud and muck and it was even worse now than it was the last time.…
