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…

First day out with the new camera, exciting! And what’s even better, it was snowing in the morning and I just kept looking outside to see when it would be light enough to go for a walk, eager to get out. The first photo opportunity wasn’t very far away, I can see this view from…

Ljusnan is freezing surprisingly fast. Well at least I’m surprised… it’s only been a few days with freezing temperatures but already there’s only a narrow strip of open water left, with quite a fast flow.

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…

It’s been snowing all day, which is needed because the warm weather and storm winds really took heavy on the snow cover we had. We still need a lot more snow to cover up all the debris that the storm left on the ground, I saw sticks and broken off branches sticking out everywhere in…

So we finally got some snow! Earlier in the week it looked like there wouldn’t be any snow at all so I had made some plans to check a few more spots along the river. When it started snowing, I thought those spots would be even nicer with some open water surrounded by snow. Until…
