Having the bird feeder in the forest is not so good for photography… really dark. Especially on a dark day like this. But it’s fun, so I sat there for a while and tried to get a picture of the crested tit, without success. The nuthatches on the other hand are easy. There are at…

I was determined to create a blurry cow picture today, but of course when you most need a cow, they are nowhere to be seen. Luckily there was a really nice rainbow instead so I got my 365 anyway. When I was almost back at home, I saw the sun break through a gap in…

It was one of those days, I had no ideas for my 365 so I just shot a few boring things in the garden and I didn’t even bother to transfer the pictures to the computer, I was going to do it as a last thing. But then later on when I went to the…

I was dead tired today. I cycled almost 50 km yesterday, it’s nothing in Tour de France terms but for someone not trained in endurance sports (well, any sports), there’s a price to pay. And the price is having zero energy the next day. If you add the hot weather, wind, and sunlight filtered through…

I did another birding walk today, to Mon of course. It would be foolish to expect something as good as last week, but I figured there’s gotta be something. And just as I was walking down to Mon, I saw swans in the wetland. I was wearing camouflage, I was walking slowly and quietly, I…

I’m not a bird photographer even if I occasionally take pictures of birds. So it’s very rare that I go out specifically with the intention of photographing birds, but today it happened. Mostly because there’s nothing else on offer at the moment… it’s getting greener but it’s not green enough yet. Anyway, when the aim…

On Saturday I referred to a possible front-focus issue with the Tamron SP 150-600/5-6.3 Di VC USD megazoom on my Canon 6D. I did some testing and found out that the focus problem is consistent when using the small focus points, whereas the central point is spot on. I even compared the results to the…

My idea for today’s picture was to show that Fönesjön is now free of ice. I take a note of it every year, and during these three springs I’ve lived in Föne, this is obviously the earliest the ice has disappeared. I parked my car at the bus stop which provides a view over the…

When I got out of the office, I saw some dark and ominous clouds. Sure enough, the hails hit me on the way home and I was happy to be sitting in my warm car as I looked at the people walking and cycling and looking pretty miserable. By the time I got to Föne,…
