I did something I haven’t done in a very long time – I went exploring. I found some spots on the map that were worth checking out, but one by one they failed to produce anything of any major interest. I found one photogenic spot but it would’ve required a cloud in front of the…

November. Almost every year, it’s the photographic low point and this year is no exception. It’s hard to get less inspired than I am right now, so I’m really hoping for some miracles in the next few weeks… firstly, that the snow would finally arrive, and secondly, that my new camera will arrive. The only…

It’s November. No pictures, no updates. Just waiting for the snow to transform the landscape. All I’ve achieved is to move the bird feeder setup so it’s now close to the small porch at the back of my house. I can spread the camo net across the porch and sit behind it, which seems to…

Unusually, I’m waiting until Tuesday to write about something that happened last weekend… Although there’s almost no point in going to the cabin on Saturday and coming back on Sunday, I did it anyway. I had a few small things I had to take care of and even I didn’t have the luxury of time,…

I noticed a few days ago that I had some Eurasian tree sparrows visiting the feeder. While the bird is not uncommon, it was just very nice to see a new species come by. Naturally, my goal for today was to get a picture of one. As it turned out, getting a picture of one…

A visit to Järvzoo today. Weather was good for photography, overcast, a little bit too dark in some of the forested enclosures but that’s always the case. Better than contrasty sunlight anyway. Took a load of pictures and I realised, even as I was shooting, that I’m not really creating anything special. Same old animals,…

I started my bird feeding a few weeks ago with just one small feeder to see how it goes, and I found quite quickly that I have a problem with magpies. Those birds are smart enough to figure out how to get the seeds even when they’re too big to perch on those little sticks…

I very nearly didn’t bother to take out the camera today, but in the evening when I saw that the sun was still shining, I finally bothered to lift my butt off the couch. The sun sets so early these days… it’s more and more obvious now that we’re heading for the dark season. I…

The Ljusdal camera club did an excursion to the Hamra national park today. I was kinda in a desperate need to get there so when we started talking about an excursion, I made sure to paint a glorious picture of the park so I could persuade the other members that my idea was the best……
