There are a lot of gnarly old willows growing by the Kyrksjön lake in Ljusdal. It’s only a short walk from the office to the lake so I spent a few minutes of my lunchbreak to snap today’s picture.
Visited the library today, thought that the decoration of light outside the entrance looked nice.
We haven’t exactly been spoiled with cloudless nights this year, so when we finally had one of them, I had to make use of it. It’s incredibly difficult to find any good night sky shooting locations within a reasonable distance (which for me is a few minutes’ drive) and the one I tried today didn’t…
We’re in a milder period now so I was in a hurry to do my walk in the morning before the snow starts to melt and it will look all boring again. My selected target wasn’t very interesting but it’s the first time I’ve been there in the winter, so now I’ve done it and…
Old abandoned houses are quite normal around here. Sometimes I wonder what the story is… like today, when I visited the old cabin on the other side of the lake. The lake in Föne is over twice as long as it is wide, the long side being in the east-west axis. The main road thru…
I’m so proud of myself! I was out on the ice today, for the first time since the incident. I did actually made a small effort a couple of weeks ago, I think I ventured out about 5 metres and then turned back in a hurry, so that doesn’t count. They have plowed a ring…
I did my best to do some skiing today. As you can see from the picture, there’s not so much snow in the forest so it was with the smallest of margins I could ski on the trail without having the skis come in contact with the ground under the snow. At first it felt…
It feels like it’s been cloudy for ages, so it really was a welcome sight to see the stars again. And now that there were no clouds to obscure the light, it was very evident that the days are indeed getting longer. It wasn’t all dark in the morning when I drove to work, and…
Well guess what? I did make those tests to see how I’m affected by the shutter shock. And you know what I found out? I’m not. Affected. By shutter shock. I took a range of exposures from 1/20 to 1/200 and not one of them was soft. Then I tested with the anti-shock setting in…
So I tested with the anti-shock setting in the E-M5 to see if I can stop the shutter shock effect. I’m not there yet, I did get a fair deal of soft pictures but I also got some sharp ones. Seems like exposure times between 1/40 and 1/100 are most prone to it. Weird, but…
