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…

Going fullframe meant that I might occasionally feel that 300mm is not enough as a telephoto lens (although, if I had a 1200mm lens, I would probably occasionally think it’s not enough anyway). I have a Kenko Pro 1.4x teleconverter which I hardly ever used with the 40D. It didn’t seem worthwhile to lose a…

One of the questions I had in my mind about going full frame is what will happen at the telephoto end. My 300mm lens will now be just that – 300mm. The way I figured it, it’s not a bad thing. Obviously we always want more reach, but the 1.6 crop factor is replaced by…

I wrote about the Canon 6D in September. I pre-ordered it as soon as it was possible and it has been a long wait to finally get my hands on the camera… but it finally arrived on Wednesday! Then it seems like it was an equally long wait for the weekend so I can actually…

While I’ve been on holiday, Canon released a new SLR and it’s the fullframe 6D as rumoured. So that’s it then – it’s my new camera! Just as well that I didn’t get the Tokina 16-28mm and Canon 24-105mm lenses sold, because now I will need them. Those investments I made in the Tokina 11-16mm…

6th of June is a day off in Sweden, it’s the national day. There’s not a lot of tradition in Sweden to celebrate the day (it’s only existed as a bank holiday for a few years now). But thanks to its timing in the early summer, this day marks the opening of the summer season…

Shock, horror, how could I forget to post pale pasque flower pictures when on Monday I finally, after so many years, got to see them again? Having searched for them high and low, and then missed the timing a few times, the happiness was total when the location at Gröntjärn had a grand display on…

<Shameless self-promotion> At the Ljusdal camera club, we have a Photographer of the Month and Photo of the Month. The photographer is selected months in advance and it basically just rotates between the members, but the photo of the month is based on votes. There’s a theme for every month, the members submit pictures and…

It seems like lately I’ve been in a lens frenzy. In the past, I’ve normally bought (changed) one lens per year on average. Last year I got two and now I have yet another new lens. The thing is, since I got into wideangle photography, the Canon 24-105mm lens that’s been my normal walkaround lens…
