I actually had another idea today but it would’ve required some effort. But it’s Friday and ”Friday” and ”effort” are not really two words that I like to use in the same sentence.

This will be a mini-series, following my plants from seed to bloom. I’ve planted 5 different sorts, one of them being the same flower that I completely failed with last summer (all of them died after I moved them from the pots to the garden). I don’t know why they didn’t make it but this…

Still some ice left.

Today’s effort was a reminder that although flowers don’t have wings or legs, they’re not easy to catch every time. Some flowers are more prone to wind than others, and this large flowered glory of the snow wouldn’t sit still for a moment. After a few frames I gave up, hoping that I would have…

I came home to a lot of colour in my little garden, now I have all my five species of spring flowers in bloom. The crocuses are peaking, snow drops are almost over bloom and the other species are just starting. I couldn’t wait to get out the macro lens so I shot a few…

…that I have yet another lens. In my defence, in the middle of this severe case of gear acquisition syndrome, I had the wideangle zoom planned already last summer so this not a whim. Since I went full frame, I haven’t had an extreme wideangle that takes filters. So it was never a question of…

On Saturday I referred to a possible front-focus issue with the Tamron SP 150-600/5-6.3 Di VC USD megazoom on my Canon 6D. I did some testing and found out that the focus problem is consistent when using the small focus points, whereas the central point is spot on. I even compared the results to the…

My idea for today’s picture was to show that Fönesjön is now free of ice. I take a note of it every year, and during these three springs I’ve lived in Föne, this is obviously the earliest the ice has disappeared. I parked my car at the bus stop which provides a view over the…

Today on my walk I ended up in the same pine forest that charmed me a few weeks back. Open pine forests have always been my favourite type of forest, and now I finally realised why. A forest like this is obviously man-made so I’m not entirely pleased with myself that I should prefer this…

I woke up at around 3am to go to the bathroom. As I walked through the kitchen, I looked out the window as I always do and saw aurora that were as high up in the sky as I’ve ever seen. Suddenly I didn’t feel sleepy at all, so I put on some warm clothes…
