Now I can check off the second waterfall in Björnån, having seen the first one last week. I was really curious to get there because in the satellite picture and on some maps it seemed like there was a bridge over the river, although it was nowhere marked as such. And indeed, a bridge it…

September 2009 was an unusually warm September. This may not be reflected in the observations though, because most of that exceptionally fine weather happened during my vacation in Finland. So 11 days of observations are missing from the middle of the month. * * * Temperature (High): 17°C Temperature (Low): 1°C Temperature (Average): 11°C Barometer…

I shouldn’t have complained about the light yesterday. Today was worse. And the wind was bad, too. Just the dullest circumstances possible for photographing the autumn colours, but I tried. Just needed to avoid having sky in the composition, or large areas of water. But one thing that works fine on days like these is…

A few weeks ago we drove along the Voxnan river north from Rullbo. I thought the place had fabulous potential and planned to get back in the autumn with all the colours. And that’s what I did today. Only problem was that the light was awful – that disgusting thin veil of clouds across the…

I’ve finally finished processing the pictures from my trip. Some of them worked out better than I expected, and some turned out to be not as good as I had hoped for. An acceptable average! The pictures in this blog post are not related to the text, other than that everything is related to my…

I had a long drive ahead of me, so I started early. I was looking forward to the Wilderness Road as it goes above the treeline, so the scenery should be good. Initially it was a bit cloudy and the wind was only marginally lighter than yesterday. It wasn’t particularly warm either – my fingers…

I have a vacation again – the last of my summer vacation. When I left, the weather was actually nice and summery, but when I got to Strömsund and turned west towards Gäddede, I was met by increasing wind and dark clouds. I don’t mind the rain, but the wind was really bad – there…

There’s this one old birch that’s become something of an un-realised obsession for me. Obsession, because I think about photographing it almost every day – the birch is visible from the road so I see it on my way to work, and I see it on my way back home. And un-realised, because I’ve only…

So, I set out to photograph water with the film camera as planned. At first I was cursing at the sun but I guess I shouldn’t have, because it started raining. Not a lot, and normally it wouldn’t be a problem but with the Tamron 28-300mm lens it is. I have to use a step-up…

August was almost like July, but enough about the weather – I want to talk about photography this time. August 2009 is probably the best photographic August I’ve ever had, with some real keepers included in the bunch. That’s worth a mention because August traditionally is a low month for me; in 2004 I took…
