It’s Easter, and there’s only one way to spend it – on the skis, in the mountains. When I arrived, I was happy to see that there’s actually more snow now than there was a few weeks ago on my last visit at the cabin. The dark patches on the mountains are covered and best…

Plan A was to go to Orsa but it’s too sunny for that. Never too sunny at Järvzoo though so that’s where I found myself. Initially everything was really quiet, I just walked through the whole park without taking a single picture. The most exciting thing that happened was all the water that was dropping…

It’s still only March, but spring was progressing at a very good speed. My crocuses are starting to grow, there’s been some migratory birds around for a few weeks already, actually, and snow is rapidly disappearing. But today the whole thing was on full reverse and it was snowing all day even if the temperature…

We witnessed something very rare today, a partial solar eclipse. At first it looked like the clouds would spoil the show, but the cover wasn’t very thick and the sun was visible as a bright disc, and during the eclipse, a bright crescent. It didn’t get very dark during the eclipse and I didn’t get that…

In case you managed to miss it, here are some pictures from the best light show of the decade! Or accurately, ”the strongest geomagnetic storm of the current solar cycle” as SpaceWeather.com expressed it. But nevermind what you call it, it was s p e c t a c u l a r ! It didn’t…

It’s been very warm lately and the snowcover is visibly reduced every day – I can see this in the field where the dark spots are growing bigger and more numerous every day. Skiing is but a distant memory but I felt that it’s way too early to finish the season, so I drove to…

Got a couple of days off and spent a long weekend at the cabin. The weather wasn’t the best possible – it wasn’t cold, but it was overcast and windy. Very windy. And it has been windy all winter, which was very evident when looking at the snow cover. I have never seen this many…

With the snow as it is, I’m depressed even by the thought of shooting landscape at home. But with the new camera, I have to find something meaningful to shoot and thus we drove to Hornslandet today. There’s snow, but not at the water’s edge and the water is open as well, so it sure…

We have plenty of snow (as seen in the first picture) but it doesn’t help, the landscape is hopeless for any meaningful photography. I prefer my winter trees covered with snow, but the hard wind and above freezing temperatures have done their work and the snow cover in the forests in particular is in a really…

Tested the Sigma 70-200/2.8 today and was disappointed to see that it’s no better than it was before. It’s weird that the autofocus problem with the camera only affected wideangles because you’d expect that whatever focus problems you have, they would be multiplied with longer focal lengths. But the Sigma is exactly the same as…
