  • Some rain in the air when I came home. Snow has almost melted on the fields. Takes the joy out of the longer days!

  • When I got off work, I saw that there was half a chance that sunset might amount to something and I figured that the bridge in Färila could offer an opportunity. Indeed, it worked – a bit of open water to catch the reflection and a bit of snow on the ice to create the…

  • Well this was new. I went skiing and didn’t come home with a blister! I am totally paranoid though so I kept worrying about every little odd feeling in the feet which takes out the enjoyment. But if I get a few more skiing trips without blisters, I will learn to trust the ski boots…

  • Well, now I’ve had my first ”real” day out with the new Tamron megazoom. I can’t really do any attempt at a review, I mean the lens is one of two things – good enough, or not. It would be foolish to even try to compare sharpness to the Canon 300/4. I’m not interested in…

  • It had snowed a little bit during the night, so I stopped by this small creek on the way to work and shot today’s frame. Normally this place is way too messy to even try to shoot it but snow can do wonders and my requirements are somewhat low when I have to shoot something,…

  • My 365 project has reached #50 so I thought I would take a look at how it’s gone. I think the ”terms” I set in the beginning was a mistake, or at least overly ambitious. I should’ve known that I would be forced to do a lot of shooting indoors and I know I totally…

  • When I opened the door this morning to go to work, I was greeted by the setting moon. I missed the full moon this weekend because of the overcast weather but this waning gibbous didn’t look so ugly as it was hanging low in the sky, so I went back in and grabbed my new…

  • Two things. Firstly, I’m still amazed at how the days are getting longer; now there’s enough light to shoot when I come home. Well, marginally – I did have to go to extremes to get this shot without a camera support. But the point is, there was light. And secondly, the snow around the cart…

  • It was really beautiful in the mountains today. The wind had quieted down and the forest was covered in snow, I hated it that I had to go back home. I made a short skiing trip to get a few landscape shots, my left foot not allowing me to go very far. And anyway, I…

  • The main reason I came to cabin this early in the season (the season being the late winter) was to try out backcountry ski boots which I will need for the trip in March. I drove to Bruksvallarna and rented boots and skis and then took on the trail up towards Kariknallen. I didn’t like…
