Although it might not always seem like that, I’m actually quite shy. It seems like I’m always shy at the wrong place at the wrong time… but anyway, with regard to photography, the shyness rears its ugly head when I see something really nice in someone’s garden or even outside it. Say for example, I’m…

Yesterday when I came from work, I found out that I have a new neighbour. Or sub-tenant. A garden spider had woven its web across my porch, I noticed the web just when my legs were already touching it. I was able to back out without breaking it, so I climbed in from the side,…

I moved to the countryside (well, a small village) last winter. It means more commuting, but I don’t really mind it – the road was one of my favourites already before I moved and I love watching the seasons change in the bogs and small forest lakes along the way. I’m having the time of…

One of my biggest failings as a photographer is that I don’t have a distinguishable style. I have a common nominator in many of my images, for example in my flower images I try to shoot the flower with extremely blurred background so that the only recognisable element is just the flower.

The other week I came across some orchids just barely in the bloom. Without hesitation I pulled out my big gun, attached a 31mm extension tube and set to work. In the viewfinder and on the LCD display everything seemed to be just fine, I was brimming with expectations when I downloaded the images to…

4 av 60 toppar i Funäsfjällen Ånnfjället är det näst mest besökta fjället i Funäsfjällen, skulle jag vilja påstå. På sommartiden kan parkeringen vara överfull. Så är man nybörjare, då är Ånnfjället en perfekt tur. På den tiden visste jag förstås inte vilken stor roll Ånnfjället skulle spela senare i mitt liv. Nu kan jag…

3 av 60 toppar i Funäsfjällen Jag blev riktigt biten av fjällvandring tidigare i år när jag besökte Funäsfjällen i juni. Då var det klart att jag skulle göra ett nytt besök när höstfärgerna infinner sig. På den tiden var det dock inte självklart att jag skulle åka till Funäsfjällen varje gång, så jag började…
