I did my best to do some skiing today. As you can see from the picture, there’s not so much snow in the forest so it was with the smallest of margins I could ski on the trail without having the skis come in contact with the ground under the snow. At first it felt…

It feels like it’s been cloudy for ages, so it really was a welcome sight to see the stars again. And now that there were no clouds to obscure the light, it was very evident that the days are indeed getting longer. It wasn’t all dark in the morning when I drove to work, and…

Well guess what? I did make those tests to see how I’m affected by the shutter shock. And you know what I found out? I’m not. Affected. By shutter shock. I took a range of exposures from 1/20 to 1/200 and not one of them was soft. Then I tested with the anti-shock setting in…

So I tested with the anti-shock setting in the E-M5 to see if I can stop the shutter shock effect. I’m not there yet, I did get a fair deal of soft pictures but I also got some sharp ones. Seems like exposure times between 1/40 and 1/100 are most prone to it. Weird, but…

The slabs of ice on the shore never completely melted away during the thaw but the river was most definitely…

The never-ending November has ended! We now have freezing temperatures and even a little bit of snow, and when I did my walk today I had blue skies above me and sunshine on my face. I was so happy! Obviously this is not nearly enough snow to be January and it looks more like the…

I pass the Föne football field quite often during my walks and bicycle rides and every time I do, I look at this old car outside the field and think that one day I will have to shoot it. But as it often happens with subjects like this, I’ve never gotten around to picking up…

There’s a nice lake a few km east from Föne, the lake is called Ranungen and small collection of houses around the lake have the same name. Most the houses are summer cabins but there’s a few permanent inhabitants. You can walk around the lake, the road doesn’t go all around but it’s only a…

I have always said that I don’t take pictures on order. I learned the hard way to say ”no” every time somebody asked me to take pictures in their wedding or do portraits and I even hesitate to take pictures of anybody’s pets if they ask. Or if there’s a situation where I would have…
