December 2007 was actually not half bad. A year ago we didn’t have any snow on the ground, but now we have plenty enough for skiing and snow mobiling (as always, I’m only doing the former). There were a couple of warm spells that threatened to ruin it all, but we had enough snow to…

Canon 300 f4L IS, ISO 640, f4 @ 1/160There’s not a lot of light but there’s even less subjects to shoot. So the squirrels are getting fat on the seeds and nuts… Under these lighting conditions, I have to contend with long shutter speeds despite a high ISO. The 300mm lens has Image Stabilisation (IS)…

Now that the obligatory play with words is out of the way, let’s concentrate on the picture. We have plenty of roe deer around here, but somehow I’ve just never managed to photograph one. They are very skittish so they will bolt at the first sign of a human being, while they have no problems…

So I went for a long walk today to admire the snowcovered landscape, and all I’ve got to show for it is this squirrel image from home*. There just isn’t anything stunningly photogenic right here in the village, even if the snow looks absolutely gorgeous. They started preparing the snow mobile trails today, so weather…

November 2007 would be the month that winter arrived. This is a very positive surprise, as the past winters have taught us to expect black Christmases rather than early winters. Well, there’s still a few weeks to go, the big thaw can still strike… even if December starts with a new snowfall front. * *…

It has been snowing all day. It is also very windy – my snow meter is only showing a 0.5 cm increase in snow cover so the snow is blowing off in some places while piling up elsewhere. This will make a serious dent in my weather statistics! But statistics aside, I have thoroughly enjoyed…

I know I’ve posted a lot of squirrel images lately but at least I hope that they are improving…

I just learned that the constellation of Cygnus, or Swan, is sometimes also called the Northern Cross. Fair enough. Light on the trees was provided courtesy of an almost full moon.

Before anyone says that there’s not enough contrast, I would like to say that it was one of those un-contrasty days. A cold day after a warm one, so the landscape was covered in frost and fog. But I finally did some shooting with the Sigma 150mm f2.8 macro, not just this building (the Loosgruvan…

We got some real snow this week – not nearly as much as SMHI was forecasting, but enough to cover the landscape in a white coat and enough for the ski tracks. I’ll wait until my achy breaky back stops twinging before I get on the skis though, today I settled for a walk through…
