So, I set out to photograph water with the film camera as planned. At first I was cursing at the sun but I guess I shouldn’t have, because it started raining. Not a lot, and normally it wouldn’t be a problem but with the Tamron 28-300mm lens it is. I have to use a step-up…

I got back my roll of Velvia 100 this week. I was very excited to see that the greens were still as intense as I remembered them, the colours really pop. Unfortunately I was not able to reproduce the pop when I scanned them, but I’ll always have my light table! The roll goes back…

August was almost like July, but enough about the weather – I want to talk about photography this time. August 2009 is probably the best photographic August I’ve ever had, with some real keepers included in the bunch. That’s worth a mention because August traditionally is a low month for me; in 2004 I took…

Seems like a repeat from last Saturday. Weatherwise. Except it was a lot more windy – just as well the flower season is over because it was borderline too windy even for landscape photography. I tried some long exposures to blur the grasses but I had to delete half the frames because they were shaken.…

There’s one thing I keep saying to myself, but not always living it – which is that if you see a photographic opportunity, you’d better make the most of it because that opportunity won’t come back, ever again. There are so many variables in nature that the same place will never look exactly the same,…

I needed to make some preparations for my cabin in Messlingen and that was just the perfect excuse to take out a day to do some photography in the mountains as well. I checked three different weather forecasts and they all said different things, it could be anything from rain to sunshine and in between…

Once again, I found myself at Svartån. But this time it was morning and I had a chance to shoot the creek upstream. Streaming water is always better when viewing it upstreams, except at the moment of course there’s not a lot of water left in the creek. I’ll take the beautiful morning sun and…

This should come as a less of a shock after my G10 acquisition last year but I’m now a proud owner of a consumer grade superzoom lens, the Tamron 28-300mm f3.5-6.3 XR Di VC (I promise that’s the last time I type the full name of the lens). Now why would I want such a…

A couple of photographer friends came for a visit, I had promised to show them my new favourite location at Svartån. I think I may have raised the exceptions a little bit but judging by the number of pictures being taken, nobody was disappointed in any case! Since it hasn’t been raining in the last…

Yesterday was full moon. Moonrise was just before sunset and there was a chance of clear skies – of course I had to try my luck with this first moon opportunity since last winter! The moon was rising in the east-south-east and after studying the map, I decided that my best chances were in Rullbo.…
