I’ve been waiting for a chance to shoot at Tevån, and today was perfect. Overcast and no wind, and the calm weather helped me a lot because I forgot to pack the step-up ring so I could use a 77mm 3-stop ND on the wideangle lens, which meant that I was stuck using the 10-stop ND instead.…

For only the second time this summer, I used my three-legged friend. The first time, incidentally, was at Livsäterån in early June, and today I was at Livsäterån again. I’ve probably said this before, but it felt good to be using the tripod and a 10-stop ND filter. I’ve been in snapshot mode all summer…

I have a four day weekend without any specific plans. Everything depends on the weather and it doesn’t look so good… my main target currently is Skarsfjället, which I’ve decided to do as a day-hike. It’s long (about 24 km, if I use the bicycle to Klinken), but perfectly doable. But, Skarsfjället is often shrouded in…

Last night the weather forecast had promised sunshine all day and even on Sunday. This morning it said that it would get cloudy in the afternoon and rain in the evening. Yikes! I didn’t feel like having a long breakfast, I really wanted to get going so I could reach the peak before the clouds…

I think I just solved the telephoto problem I’ve had with my Sony system. Sony’s cameras are far ahead of their lens selection and there’s two things that I’ve missed, a large aperture extreme wideangle for night photo, and a long telephoto. When Zeiss announced the Batis 2.8/18 a couple of weeks ago, it filled the wideangle…

I checked my 2014 review before I created this post, and back then I wrote ”I was very productive last year but I can’t help but feel that I have allowed quantity to take over quality”. Funny – I was going to say the exactly same thing about 2015. Oh well. I did two big trips in…

The HDR tool in Lightroom does a pretty decent job. I was working on a new idea on Monday, it didn’t quite work out as planned because the clouds wouldn’t co-operate but then I thought, fine, if Mother Nature gives me clouds, then I shoot clouds. Bracketed 5 shots with 1 stop intervals, ran it…

You know me, always trying to come up with ways to carry less gear and enjoy the hike more. My latest idea was to get a light duty ballhead. My light duty tripod is already as light as it can go, without seriously compromising usability. But the ballheads are solid metal and it shows on…

We got another boat ride! It was a last minute arrangement since we had a day to spare, and so we got to go to a fishing village (Oqaatsut, or Rodebay) some way north from Ilulissat. I did take some iceberg pictures on the way, but it wasn’t so nice to be on the deck…

The morning was sunny, and I didn’t feel that I needed pictures of icebergs in that light so I did a walk around town. Nice walk, but I really don’t get any photography done in urban environments. In the afternoon we walked to the same spot we already visited on Saturday, but this time we…
