What a difference a night makes! When we got out at 5.45, it was pouring rain. But we didn’t come to Iceland to sleep in, so we drove to Jökulsárlón and got to see the beach in a completely different light (literally!). I was super-careful to keep away from the waves and that shows, my…
Wake-up call at 5am – welcome to Iceland! I wish I could say I got at least 5 hours of sleep, but it was more like 3-4 hours. But this is way too exciting to feel tired! Our first destination was the beach at Jökulsárlón. It’s pointless to say that it’s very special because every…
Had a busy day at work. It felt like I was doing three things at the same time all day, and I was spread quite thin when I got home. I just wanted to collapse on the couch, but instead I forced myself to go out with the camera to get my 365. Often when…
It figures. Since last year, I’ve been reading the rumours about a stabilised Canon wideangle and then when I finally gave up waiting for it to come out and got myself the 17-40/4, what happens? Yes, Canon announces the 16-35/4 IS. Although I’m a little bit annoyed, it’s worth keeping in mind that the benefits…
I almost hesitate to say this but I have a new lens… it’s the Olympus 14-150mm superzoom that I was supposed to get with the camera, but in the end opted for the cheap 40-150mm (Cyberphoto was selling it at a huge discount at the time). But that choice left me with a gap between…
A few years ago I was swept away in nostalgia and bought an analogue camera and a bunch of film rolls and development bags. The wave of nostalgia petered away long before my film stock did, so I’ve had these rolls in the freezer ever since. But then I heard of a local photographer who…
Well, now I’ve had my first ”real” day out with the new Tamron megazoom. I can’t really do any attempt at a review, I mean the lens is one of two things – good enough, or not. It would be foolish to even try to compare sharpness to the Canon 300/4. I’m not interested in…
Just look at this beauty! I first read about the Tamron 150-600/5-6.3 in November and pre-ordered it as soon as it was possible. Then it’s been a long wait before the lenses started shipping but here it is now so I’m one of the first people in Sweden who has this lens. It could be…
When I decided to do my 365 project, I knew that I would have to do a lot of shooting indoors so I got prepared and bought a ring light. You can get these LED lights really cheap and they are very easy to use as well, because they provide continuous light and work independently…
First day out with the new camera, exciting! And what’s even better, it was snowing in the morning and I just kept looking outside to see when it would be light enough to go for a walk, eager to get out. The first photo opportunity wasn’t very far away, I can see this view from…
