When I lived in Ljusdal, I used make long trips by car in search of nice places to photograph. When I moved to Loos, the car got some rest and I found many good spots within walking distance. And a lot of more great locations are just a few kilometres further so there’s not a…
One photographer I have the deepest respect for is Guy Tal. He creates stunning landscape pictures but he is also a very insightful writer, just check out his blog. He recently wrote about photography competitions and I can only echo his thoughts. I’ve been very suspicious about any competitions for the very reason that he…
After a couple of trips to the mountains with a lot of hiking, I was happy to take it easy this weekend. It was un-inspiring weather anyway, with a slight chance of evening sun and calm waters last night so I took the bike and pedalled down to the lake. There’s a nice little tarn…
There is a really nice waterfall close to the road between Hede and Funäsdalen. As usual, it’s not signed from the road so you need to do your research beforehand to find out it’s there. The creek is called Rändån and the waterfall is Rändåfallet. When you come from the direction of Hede, you will…
I’m back at home now, had a relaxing day at work – meaning, I didn’t have to use my feet much. Coffee machine and back! I did two small hikes yesterday which puts my four day total to exactly 50 km of hiking, and I could easily go for another hike now. The only thing…
8 och 9 av 60 toppar Ösjövålen och Ösjökläppen Dagens vandring gick till Ösjöstugan och och vidare till Ösjövålen och Osjökläppen. Det är en lång vandring så jag ville göra det lite lättare genom att ta skidliften upp från Ramundberget, vilket innebar att det var lätt vandring till Ösjöstugan. Leden går upp därifrån och när…
Today was going to be the rainiest day of the vacation but it didn’t bother me in the least because I can rain-proof both myself and the camera. And I knew exactly what I was going to shoot today, as well – waterfalls. There just isn’t any better motif for a rainy day than waterfalls.…
I have another mini-holiday this weekend. And there’s only really one place where I can spend it – the mountains. Today’s hike was at Ramundberget. I’ve read about the waterfalls of Tvärån and because the day was going to be overcast, waterfalls were just the right thing to shoot. Problem is… the waterfalls weren’t as…
I’ve been in a bit of a photographic limbo recently. It would be normal if this was November when there’s hardly anything left to shoot, but it’s July which is traditionally the busiest month of the year for me. I’ve got too many other things in my head and it’s draining my energy so I’m…
I was reading the July issue of Outdoor Photography, there’s an interview with Joe Cornish who is one of the best landscape photographers in Britain. He has just released a new book, Scotland’s Mountains, and talks about the project and his photography in general. There’s a couple of really great quotes I picked up from…
