Not sure if I’ve ever mentioned it, but I started with photography because I wanted to use a ”real” camera on my safari back in 2000. And the reason I wanted to go on a safari was that I wanted to see all the animals in their real environment, after having seen them in zoos.…

I have always said that I don’t take pictures on order. I learned the hard way to say ”no” every time somebody asked me to take pictures in their wedding or do portraits and I even hesitate to take pictures of anybody’s pets if they ask. Or if there’s a situation where I would have…

On a personal level, 2013 was tragic. My mother passed away in November, which has made me re-evaluate some things in my life, even my relationship with photography. But more about that later. When I looked back at the pictures, I realised that I did a whole lot of hiking in the summer. I really…

I think just about every landscape photographer likes to shoot the moon, I certainly do. I want to use the full moon as a feature in a landscape picture, so I’m always checking the full moon rise and set times to see when they coincide with either sunset or sunrise. The window of opportunity is…

I’ve gone on a lens shopping spree! Yes, I have another new lens in my bag and it’s the Samyang MF 14mm f2.8 ED AS IF UMC. Here’s the story. I have a love-hate relationship with my Tokina 16-28mm lens. I love the pictures it gives me, but I hate the size and weight of…

I think I mentioned last year that I might convert my old 40D to infrared when I bought my new camera. But then somebody wanted to buy the 40D and I had to decide between making money on it, or spend money on it. Kind of a no-brainer! But I was still interested in infrared,…

I got my Loka backpack from F-Stop last week and I got to use it in action already last weekend in the mountains. One weekend is perhaps not long enough to create a definitive picture of the product, but I’m confident that I have a pretty good idea of the pros and cons, based on…

One subject that I normally bring up at least once a year is the camera backpack. It has been ridiculously difficult to find one that fits my needs – has padded space for camera and a couple of lenses, has other space for lunch and extra clothes, pockets for accessories, external attachment points for extra gear,…

Another year has come to an end, so I will do my traditional month by month review. 2012 was bit of a ”meh” year. I moved from Loos to Föne in March, which naturally affected my photography a great deal, both for the better and for the worse. The best part is that I found…
