Musings on photo editing, part 2 Part 1 My question is, is a photograph a representation of reality, or is it the photographer’s interpretation of what they think reality should be? When the picture is edited to no longer reflect the reality, I’m not sure if I want to call them photographs anymore… seems like…

I just remembered that last spring I posted my plan for the summer. So time to check the list and see how I did. Motorbike. Well, we all (the regular blog readers, anyway) know what happened with that. Crash boom bang. Add some bad weather and it’s a recipe for leaving the Tricker in the…

I needed to make some preparations for my cabin in Messlingen and that was just the perfect excuse to take out a day to do some photography in the mountains as well. I checked three different weather forecasts and they all said different things, it could be anything from rain to sunshine and in between…

I was supposed to have vacation the whole week, but I couldn’t come up with anything to do so I shortened it to two days. I had done some research and found a waterfall south-west from Sonfjället, Lillråndafallet. From Rånddalen, there’s a forest road towards the canyon where the Lill-Rånden creek falls. The road wasn’t…

Time to wrap up this holiday, but I had plenty in store for today. First, I drove to Ramundberget and hiked the 3 km to Klinken. The black vanilla orchid (Gymnanedia nigra, or Nigritella nigra) should be in bloom and I was very curious to see how it was doing this year, last year I had…

I had ambitions about hiking to the Rödfjället mountain, but the primary goal was the potential flower locations along the Svanån creek north-west from Rödfjället. I didn’t take the main trail up to the mountain and sure enough, I soon lost the unmarked trail I was following, but luckily I was already high enough to…

I left relatively early to catch the morning sun in a panoramic spot I discovered the other day. It was windier than anticipated though, but I took the pictures anyway because the scenery is a little bit unusual – the only place along this road between Funäsdalen and Ljungdalen where you can see the Sylarna…

Time to concentrate on the main thing – flowers. Considering the slow progress of all flowers in Loos, I figured there was a risk that I wouldn’t find anything interesting (read: orchids) in the mountains. And I was right, the best I could find all day was some lapland marsh orchids which were in the…

[This (very long) story starts on Saturday 7 February] It’s full moon on Monday and the moonset/moonrise co-incides with sunrise/sunset. It can only mean one thing – I have a day off and I’m heading to the mountains. I’ve booked myself to the Messlingen hostel and it’s snowing, so it’s almost a repeat of my…

This is a follow-up to my previous post about using slow shutter speeds. I wanted to elaborate on the water theme a little bit so here goes. * * * The shutter speed to use with moving water is one of the more interesting issues in landscape photography. Some prefer a fast shutter to freeze…
