You haven’t seen this before and you won’t see it again anytime soon (ever, I hope)… a picture of me, in my blog! I wanted to try the spooky effect with long shutter speeds where you move in the frame and only leave this ghostly semi-transparent impression. Not very easy to find the right combination…

Four days off! Thank you very much. The landscape is certainly perfect for the season and the temperature likewise, so I went for a walk and explored a forest road I’ve never taken before. The road is a dead end so I haven’t bothered to go there before, but according to the map there’s a…

I had big plans for today. I was going to hike downstream Svartån from the Svartåvallen road; every time I drive over the bridge there I think that it looks good but the terrain on both sides of the creek looks a bit tough so I’ve never tackled it. I’ve absolutely no idea why I…

It wasn’t quite as cold as yesterday and towards the afternoon the temperatures had risen enough to make it quite comfortable, actually. But in the morning it was a different story though, and I only managed about half an hour photographing the birds before my fingers were frozen. I was dressed in double and triple…

Sunlight! What an amazing thing, clear skies in the morning, when has that happened? My bird restaurant is ideally located for the morning light (the reverse applies in the afternoon) so out I go, hoping that I could make use of the beautiful warm light. Since this is forest, the light moves around a lot…

Everybody’s favourite complaint these days is that the days are so short – the sun sets already at half past two so there really isn’t a lot of daylight. For such a short trip on the sky, the sun never gets very high either which means that the light isn’t exactly blinding even at noon.…

It’s been looking like winter this week and I’ve been looking forward to the weekend to enjoy it. So I didn’t waste any time in the morning, left as soon as there was enough light. I was also a little bit worried that the temperatures would creep above freezing so I definitely had to do…

SMHI says that this November is one of the warmest ever, warmest since 2000 anyway. I remember November 2000 quite well because I moved to Sweden right at the end of October; it was snowing when I got off the train and I trudged to the hotel through wet snow and feeling quite happy about…

This belongs to the category not-so-nice. If you’re squeamish, don’t open the picture! When I was photographing the birds, I noticed this one great tit which had a head injury. Looks almost like someone did open brain surgery on it, flesh wounds and a swollen forehead. It was pecking away at the peanuts, seemingly not bothered…

Everybody who knows me knows that I’m a sucker for a good snowfall. Needless to say that I was out with the camera today in what was my first opportunity this winter to photograph in the falling snow. Had to enjoy it while it lasts because the temperatures are already creeping up to zero and…
