Last winter I discovered a great place for shooting sunsets. There was a trinity of pines left after the forest was cut last year. I’ve calculated that the spot is suitable for shooting sunsets from late November to early January, so now I’ve just been waiting for the days to get shorter. Today when I…

I got my ND8 filter this week so of course I just had to try it, despite the snow-slash-sleet-slash-rain that was falling from the sky. The Stormjacket works fine for the camera, and shooting water means that the camera is pointed down so the front of the lens is protected from the drops. All I…

I think we can declare the skiing season open now! Yesterday I discovered that the track has already been prepared, so I had been looking forward to skiing all day today. When I got there, I found some places though where the wind had blown the snow off, but mostly it was just fine. It…

We were supposed to get a storm here last weekend, but it never happened. There was a stiff breeze at most, but otherwise just sunshine. The rest of the Sweden apparently suffered a lot worse weather… and now they get their vengeance, as we are hit by a snow storm. When I drove home, the…

So, there we go. Winter. It started snowing after lunchtime and I soon realised that I was in trouble – it was going to snow more in Loos and I had 60 km to drive with summer tyres on the car. I left work early and initially it was quite ok, some wet snow on…

Determined not to let the whole weekend pass by without pictures, I drove to my favourite creek for more water photography. It has been raining non-stop since Wednesday night but today it was just foggy and light drizzle at most. Rain or no rain, it sure was wet – the forest was absolutely soaked. First…

So, it was one of those dull and grey days that only brightened up at sunset. Except, I think that days just don’t get more wonderful than today! I had found this creek some way south from Loos and was itching do waterfall photography. I think that overcast days are by far the best time…

August started warm and ended cold with morning frost. Otherwise, a pretty boring month that I’m happy to put behind me. Give me September anytime! I was on holiday in the beginning of August so there’s three days of data missing. * * * Temperature (High): 27°C Temperature (Low): 7°C Temperature (Average): 16°C Barometer (High):…

*sigh* So, I went driving for a bit, went cycling for a bit, did hoovering for a bit, washed the dishes for a bit, read a book quite a lot, idled around for a bit, and took some lousy pictures for a bit. …What a forgettable day. Next!
