Musings on photo editing, part 2 Part 1 My question is, is a photograph a representation of reality, or is it the photographer’s interpretation of what they think reality should be? When the picture is edited to no longer reflect the reality, I’m not sure if I want to call them photographs anymore… seems like…

Musings on photo editing, part 1 Remember when they used to say that a photo never lies? Well, they may have been a bit too blue-eyed even in the old days of analogue. There was a lot more going in the darkroom than simple film development. But by and large, a photo didn’t lie. Those…

I have a ”Photo Of The Month” collection in Lightroom. Every month I pick a favourite picture from that month’s crop, so each POTM is not necessarily among the best pictures of the year because not all months are created equal. Some months I have more – and better – keepers than others, but selecting…

It’s snowing, but the wind is wreaking havoc on the scenery so the beautiful snow cover we’ve had is gone. I mean, the beauty of it – the snow itself hasn’t gone anywhere. It’s just been blown all over the place. So when I went for a walk, I left the tripod home and only…

You haven’t seen this before and you won’t see it again anytime soon (ever, I hope)… a picture of me, in my blog! I wanted to try the spooky effect with long shutter speeds where you move in the frame and only leave this ghostly semi-transparent impression. Not very easy to find the right combination…

I had big plans for today. I was going to hike downstream Svartån from the Svartåvallen road; every time I drive over the bridge there I think that it looks good but the terrain on both sides of the creek looks a bit tough so I’ve never tackled it. I’ve absolutely no idea why I…

I got back my roll of Velvia 100 this week. I was very excited to see that the greens were still as intense as I remembered them, the colours really pop. Unfortunately I was not able to reproduce the pop when I scanned them, but I’ll always have my light table! The roll goes back…

This should come as a less of a shock after my G10 acquisition last year but I’m now a proud owner of a consumer grade superzoom lens, the Tamron 28-300mm f3.5-6.3 XR Di VC (I promise that’s the last time I type the full name of the lens). Now why would I want such a…

Last week I finally got my first roll of film back – it wasn’t the developing that took time (in fact, it was a really quick turnaround) but just simply completing the roll in the first place. Spring wasn’t a good time to start… it’s the summer greens and Velvia I dreamed about. Except that…

I wanted to get back to my semi-high key wood anemones from Sunday. I liked the composition in this one with the foreground flower asymmetrically mirrored in the oof flower on the right (if it’s possible to ”asymmetrically mirror” anything?), plus the open white space above. In Lightroom, I muted the colour in the leaves…
