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…

I’ve got quite a few wood anemone pictures, some of them I’m even happy with. So at first I didn’t know what to do with the flowers because I didn’t want to repeat what I already had in the catalogue, but then I came up with the idea of trying high key. I have a…

All the excitement about the mandarin ducks yesterday almost made me forget that I had a productive trip to the Hamra National Park as well. Hamra National Park is currently the smallest national park in Sweden, but it will multiply in size next year when the Svartåmyran bog and the Svartån creek valley will be…

Compact cameras have quite awesome closest focusing distances. I mean, how many SLRs with macro lenses can brag with CFD of 1cm? So compact cameras must be really good at macro, right? Pur-lease. Honestly, what’s the point of focusing at 1cm when you have to do it at wide angle? But I’m sure everyone who’s…

Yesterday I mentioned that I was disappointed when I found that out of two locations, the better one was the one which was harder to get at. Is that really how lazy I am? That I’m disappointed because I have to walk an extra kilometre and climb a bit more? What’s really disappointing is that…

I was only supposed to write three posts about film, but that was before I actually got the camera. It feels like I’m more excited about my 2nd hand film camera than I was with my brand new 40D! So I picked it up last night and the first impression when I was unpacking it…

Great news from Olympus – now we can just hope that the other camera manufacturers are equally smart! 12 MP really is enough, what we need is to get more out of those pixels than more of them. Less noise and more dynamic range and I’ll be shopping for a new camera again!

Maybe so far I’ve made it sound like going back to film is all good, so I’ll talk about the caveats now. There are some things where digital beats film (and I don’t mean cost and instant feedback etc that I’ve already talked about), and some of these I will miss. The possibility of changing…

Recently I’ve been thinking about digital noise and wondering if it’s time for me to switch to full frame. But every digital camera has noise, the only difference is how the photographer sees it. My noise threshold is low, probably because the digital noise seems too patterned to me. Film grain on the other hand…
