Here in Sweden we have a concept called aprilväder, April weather. It could be anything – cold and snowing, warm and sunny, and anything in between. Sometimes during the same day. Last year around this time I was wearing a t-shirt while cycling. Today it was snowing. Well ok to be fair, it was the…

I had very lofty ideas about skiing to Svartmorgraven today but I got seriously distracted on the way. I mentioned the reindeer yesterday and today I get coming across them at every turn. So I ended up zigzagging the tundra in search for the best angles to show the reindeer in this tough environment. Of…

I’m starting to get my new home in order, so I can think about other things. Like photography, of course! Since spring has arrived early this year, we drove around a little bit to find some birds that you normally can find in the fields while they wait for their nesting grounds to melt. But…

Sometimes I’m absolutely convinced that I am the stupidest person ever to hold a camera. This morning I had this great plan to do a double whammy – drive to a spot which would provide me a view to both the moonset and sunrise. I was even going to take a closeup of the almost…

After getting the crested tit portrait last week, I feel like my bird portrait quota is full. So I decided to try something new and catch the birds in flight, or at least with their wings raised. Now that’s a challenge for sure! I stood a little bit further away than normal to give the…

I had a great day at the feeder today. I’ve finally figured out which angles to use when it’s a sunny weather so I can avoid the the shadow/highlight nightmare that has previously bogged down my sunny day bird shoots; the trick is to shoot up so the background is made up of tree crowns…

Oh boy I’m excited, I had two crested tits for visit! I’ve only ever had some fleeting encounters with them before, but today there were at the feeder all day and they were completely fearless. They didn’t mind me moving around and they happily flew so close to me that I couldn’t even try to…

It is another gorgeous day with nothing but sunny blue skies and frost in the morning. I felt it was pointless to try and top yesterday’s shoot at the lake so I stayed home and waited for the light to fall on the bird feeders. Even when I knew that sunlight is the worst kind…

I’ve had the whole summer to prepare a new bird feeding setup but since I’m a master procrastinator, I didn’t get it done while I still had plenty of time. Now it’s already October and the set is still not complete… But I did hang up have one seed dispenser and I know there’s plenty…

There’s a gravel pit along the road between Funäsdalen and Mittådalen. In one pile of sand which has been there for years, a flock of swallows have dug out nesting holes so the pile looks like swiss cheese. The birds don’t mind people so it’s possible to stand right next to the pile and photograph…
