The weather has been very much overcast lately so I haven’t had a chance to try out my star 15 theory until tonight. Full moon is on Friday but there’s plenty enough light to go around already, I hardly needed my flashlight in the snow covered forest. It made composition easier as well because it…

Can’t complain about the weather, it’s certainly looking like winter now. I only wish it would be like this all winter through… Since none of the trails are open yet, I decided to take the car and search for photo ops. I soon came across a flock of black grouse that didn’t take flight when…

November 2008 was very much like November 2007, which I think is a good thing considering all the snow. And just like last year, December started with more snowfall so it’s looking good so far. I got my barometer back in the middle of the month, for what it’s worth. * * * Temperature (High):…

It has been snowing all day. I’m not complaining – well, other than maybe I’m wishing it would snow a little bit more. Those big flakes that are easy to catch on camera. I ventured out to a lake again, but this time a lake that I’m familiar with so no wet feet. I was…

It’s been snowing nicely the past days and SMHI just confirmed that winter has indeed arrived. Seems like it’s arrived in the rest of Europe as well, read in the news that snowfall is causing havoc in traffic in many countries. Me, I’m just happy to be still be able to drive in the forest…

When I started to photograph the night sky, I read that I should use a wideangle lens, high ISO, big aperture and bulb setting with remote. Unless of course I wanted to photograph the rings of Saturn or the Andromeda galaxy, in which case I needed a telescope, but I’m not an astronomer so I…

This day was even worse than yesterday – just as foggy, but now we got rain as well. Lovely. So it was another long walk with the G10 and this time I experimented with the ISO values. And again I agree with what everyone says, the IQ is usable up to ISO 200 and anything…

My first day day out with the new Canon PowerShot G10! And what a lousy day it was. By that I mean the weather – I wasn’t missing the 40D in any case so having the new camera to test meant that at least I got something done and not just sit inside all day…

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…
