I got my snowshoes back in 2003. Snowshoeing was a very marginalised sport in Sweden back then, and it was difficult to find any snowshoe information when I was trying to decide which kind of snowshoe to get and which size I needed. Since I had trouble finding that information, I wrote a page on…

I’ve been going on about how beautiful it is with all the snow. It’s not all good though, for example the trees are starting to suffer under the extra weight. The birches in particular are having a tough time and I’ve seen a few trees that have already given up the fight and cracked under…

It was clear skies already in the morning and I didn’t waste any time going out, I wanted to catch that pink light after sunrise. And not only the light, but also the moon which was full yesterday, and a very special full moon it was too. So there I am, just got my first…

The weather has been very much overcast lately so I haven’t had a chance to try out my star 15 theory until tonight. Full moon is on Friday but there’s plenty enough light to go around already, I hardly needed my flashlight in the snow covered forest. It made composition easier as well because it…

Can’t complain about the weather, it’s certainly looking like winter now. I only wish it would be like this all winter through… Since none of the trails are open yet, I decided to take the car and search for photo ops. I soon came across a flock of black grouse that didn’t take flight when…

November 2008 was very much like November 2007, which I think is a good thing considering all the snow. And just like last year, December started with more snowfall so it’s looking good so far. I got my barometer back in the middle of the month, for what it’s worth. * * * Temperature (High):…

It has been snowing all day. I’m not complaining – well, other than maybe I’m wishing it would snow a little bit more. Those big flakes that are easy to catch on camera. I ventured out to a lake again, but this time a lake that I’m familiar with so no wet feet. I was…

A day of snowfall and I was really looking forward to a long walk to enjoy it. I got down to a lake I rarely visit and initially followed it by walking through forest on my way to a potential photo spot. No photo ops were appearing though, so I decided to walk on the…

It’s been snowing nicely the past days and SMHI just confirmed that winter has indeed arrived. Seems like it’s arrived in the rest of Europe as well, read in the news that snowfall is causing havoc in traffic in many countries. Me, I’m just happy to be still be able to drive in the forest…

When I started to photograph the night sky, I read that I should use a wideangle lens, high ISO, big aperture and bulb setting with remote. Unless of course I wanted to photograph the rings of Saturn or the Andromeda galaxy, in which case I needed a telescope, but I’m not an astronomer so I…
