If I felt that 2009 ended with a photographic low note, then 2010 started with a high note. No genuine high key (even if I tried), but I found a lot of other things that I didn’t expect at all. When I left in the morning, my only target was an old and broken tractor…

If November was unusually warm then December was unusually cold, the last half of it anyway. Perfect winter month, actually. A nice mixture of winter weather with some days with constant sunshine (well, those 4 hours of it anyway) and some days with constant snowfall but most days just simply winter grey. * * *…

So it’s the last day of the year, time to wrap up photography for 2009. The scenery is still nice and wintery, but when you look through the viewfinder it’s not so pretty anymore. Windblown debris and pockmarks from fallen snow, not ideal for landscapes. But I had to try anyway, so I opted for…

I have a ”Photo Of The Month” collection in Lightroom. Every month I pick a favourite picture from that month’s crop, so each POTM is not necessarily among the best pictures of the year because not all months are created equal. Some months I have more – and better – keepers than others, but selecting…

It seemed like there might actually be a sunrise today. I mean the kind of sunrise that you can see – with colour and all, you know. So I made my way to a new spot I had found, the viewpoint is a bit too low to actually see the sun come over the horizon…

It’s snowing, but the wind is wreaking havoc on the scenery so the beautiful snow cover we’ve had is gone. I mean, the beauty of it – the snow itself hasn’t gone anywhere. It’s just been blown all over the place. So when I went for a walk, I left the tripod home and only…

You haven’t seen this before and you won’t see it again anytime soon (ever, I hope)… a picture of me, in my blog! I wanted to try the spooky effect with long shutter speeds where you move in the frame and only leave this ghostly semi-transparent impression. Not very easy to find the right combination…

Four days off! Thank you very much. The landscape is certainly perfect for the season and the temperature likewise, so I went for a walk and explored a forest road I’ve never taken before. The road is a dead end so I haven’t bothered to go there before, but according to the map there’s a…

I had big plans for today. I was going to hike downstream Svartån from the Svartåvallen road; every time I drive over the bridge there I think that it looks good but the terrain on both sides of the creek looks a bit tough so I’ve never tackled it. I’ve absolutely no idea why I…

It wasn’t quite as cold as yesterday and towards the afternoon the temperatures had risen enough to make it quite comfortable, actually. But in the morning it was a different story though, and I only managed about half an hour photographing the birds before my fingers were frozen. I was dressed in double and triple…
