Since there’s been some talk about me being a photo purist who doesn’t like manipulate pictures, I thought I should confess to some photo fixing every once in a while. The real issue I’ve been preaching about is disclosure – manipulate all you want, but I think it’s only fair that the manipulation is disclosed.…

Since I had a lot of bird activity at the feeder again, I decided to zoom with my feet and set up shop just over 3 metres from the feeder. This meant that I was out in the open and the great tits seemed to mind it, but the smaller birds and nuthatches kept happily…

Winter is on schedule – got the first snow on the 29th. It will of course melt away soon but here’s hoping for more snow later. It was a very wet beginning for the month and we got 68mm rain in the first 5 days. The last 5 days it was cold. * * *…

I had made a lot of plans today but as it often happens, I didn’t do everything I had planned. Despite this it turned out to be a very productive day, I got squirrels and birds and landscapes and close-ups, all in glorious sunshine and then sunset and dusk. I even did some scouting for…

I know I said that I would never go to a zoo again, but I had an opportunity to meet with other photographers so I caved in. For every visit to Järvzoo, my only wish is to get good pictures of one species – you can never get them all anyway, so one is good.…

I like maps. They’re good for a lot of things, including a source of inspiration when I’m planning my weekend photo excursions. Even when you know (or think you know) the area you live in, a close inspection of a map can reveal something you haven’t seen before. Say for example, a murder scene. I’m…

I couldn’t let go of a good thing, so I drove back to Össjön to take a closer look at the old boats. The wind had picked up from yesterday and there certainly wasn’t any lack of light, so I had a perfect opportunity to try the new ND filter. Stacked with a polariser, I…

I had big plans for the weekend, but I had to revise them already when I woke up – the cold night had turned the wet roads into icy roads, so I had no business driving around with summer tires. I waited until the sun was high enough to thaw out the worst and then…

I always make an effort to photograph the full moon every time the moonrise or moonset coincides with sunset or sunrise. I’m more of a landscape photographer than moonscape ditto, so I leave the moon closeups to the astronomy buffs and try to create landscape pictures with the moon in them instead, which requires some…

Oh wasn’t I excited about this weekend, I had two new toys to play with and head full of ideas. Some of the ideas were not even related to the new toys, so I started off on Saturday morning by setting up my squirrel feeder and squirrel-proof bird feeder. I hope that the squirrels will…
