I couldn’t wait anymore and ordered my Canon 40D, which arrived even earlier than I expected! I haven’t gone all trigger happy and tested it just for the sake of testing, rather I’m just taking the pictures I would anyway. I will leave the reviewing and pixel peeping to others (and there are plenty of…

This is a story of ”I wouldn’t normally do that kind of thing”: Since my holiday, I haven’t been the least bit interested in taking any new pictures. In fact, I had almost settled on skipping August entirely and just wait for September, which is one of my favourite months. But on the bus home,…

There’s an interesting discussion over at NPN about ”fixing” your subject, i.e. manipulation before pressing the shutter (as opposed to manipulation in post-processing). If any manipulation needs to be done, I prefer to do mine before I take the picture. I just like the idea of getting it right in the camera. But the dilemma…

I’m proud to present my first photo exhibition this summer! My loosfoto.se site that is dedicated to this little village of ours has gained some momentum and I was asked if I’d be interested in exhibiting some of the photos in the local library. I thought that it would be a great opportunity to reach…

This is in response to Michael Brown’s call for self critique posts. * * * The calypso orchid is very rare and a protected species that likes mossy conifer forests. We have a location where this flower grows a few miles from where I live but I only found the place recently, and the whole…

Every spring when I see blueberry flowers I think that I should photograph them. Every year I have not done it. Until now – I have these things growing 5 metres from my house, no excuses! Not even the high winds deterred me, I just made use of my new Wimberley Plamp to steady the…

When I started with photography, my pictures were crap. I did my best to improve them on the computer, using all sorts of filters to try and save them. I was quite happy with the results, but in retrospect, crap in crap out. When I finally learned to create decent images in camera, I ditched…

Another long, boring weekend ahead. Looks like the only photo ops I can find these days is moving water, so I drove to the Österhocklan creek, armed with a Cokin Blue/Yellow varicolour filter (otherwise known as a Blue/Gold polarizer). I don’t normally like gimmick filters but it felt like a gimmick was exactly what I…

I got my ND8 filter this week so of course I just had to try it, despite the snow-slash-sleet-slash-rain that was falling from the sky. The Stormjacket works fine for the camera, and shooting water means that the camera is pointed down so the front of the lens is protected from the drops. All I…

After Grey Wells yesterday, the scenery started changing from the mountaineous to the hilly and it kept that way after Williams Lake as well. We did start seeing some great autumn colours though and it was a calm day so colours reflected nicely on the roadside lakes. Then inevitably we came to what the locals…
