The weather forecast said it would be sunny. Right now. I looked outside and the sky was overcast. I had a plan though and I intended to follow it, maybe it would clear out a bit later… so I drove to my spot and found out that I had nothing to do there and the…

Or, Tokina AF 16-28mm f2.8 AT-X Pro SD FX as it’s officially called (I’ll just call it ”Tokina” in the rest of the post, I’m sure you understand why…). This is the new lens in my bag, when I finally gave in and got the wideangle I had been long wanting and long dreading! Used on…

Spent the weekend at the cabin, and managed to waste most of it on putting together Ikea furniture. 8 hours on a wardrobe, and we were two people working on it! It would’ve been impossible alone. But… there was this one photo session that was worth the trip alone. Full moon rising just before sunset!…

Ever since last year when we did some driving around in Orsa Finnmark, I’ve been wanting to go back to explore the places. Last year it was late autumn and the weather was a bit iffy so I didn’t really stop anywhere, just made mental notes about the places we drove through. Well today, the…

So the exhibition is now open for public! I’d lie if I said it was a crowd magnet, but the (very) positive thing is that the few people did come also liked the pictures. Co-incidentally, the Ljusdal camera club was holding an open-air exhibition in town which was a lucky break for me, because the…

It still needs some work but I’m undecided if it’s worth the trouble. I was waiting on Flatruet for the sunset to happen with glorious colours,…

It’s the last day of my vacation, then it’s the weekend and back to work on Monday. I decided to do one last hike, then do some cabin maintenance on Saturday and head home early on Sunday. It was not intentional but it seems like I finish the outdoors part of my vacation in the…

The other day I lamented how I lacked patience and missed out on nice evening light. I speculated that it was no big loss though, there will be new opportunities. And guess what, I already had that opportunity and it was better than the one I missed! The evening was so calm that even the…

When I woke up in the morning, I had to remind myself that it was July. It was cold, rainy and windy and easily the kind of weather we would have in October. I wasn’t in a hurry to go out so I spent some time in Lightroom to properly process and keyword my pictures…

There’s a gravel pit along the road between Funäsdalen and Mittådalen. In one pile of sand which has been there for years, a flock of swallows have dug out nesting holes so the pile looks like swiss cheese. The birds don’t mind people so it’s possible to stand right next to the pile and photograph…
