Seems like a repeat from last Saturday. Weatherwise. Except it was a lot more windy – just as well the flower season is over because it was borderline too windy even for landscape photography. I tried some long exposures to blur the grasses but I had to delete half the frames because they were shaken.…

There’s one thing I keep saying to myself, but not always living it – which is that if you see a photographic opportunity, you’d better make the most of it because that opportunity won’t come back, ever again. There are so many variables in nature that the same place will never look exactly the same,…

I needed to make some preparations for my cabin in Messlingen and that was just the perfect excuse to take out a day to do some photography in the mountains as well. I checked three different weather forecasts and they all said different things, it could be anything from rain to sunshine and in between…

Once again, I found myself at Svartån. But this time it was morning and I had a chance to shoot the creek upstream. Streaming water is always better when viewing it upstreams, except at the moment of course there’s not a lot of water left in the creek. I’ll take the beautiful morning sun and…

This should come as a less of a shock after my G10 acquisition last year but I’m now a proud owner of a consumer grade superzoom lens, the Tamron 28-300mm f3.5-6.3 XR Di VC (I promise that’s the last time I type the full name of the lens). Now why would I want such a…

A couple of photographer friends came for a visit, I had promised to show them my new favourite location at Svartån. I think I may have raised the exceptions a little bit but judging by the number of pictures being taken, nobody was disappointed in any case! Since it hasn’t been raining in the last…

Yesterday was full moon. Moonrise was just before sunset and there was a chance of clear skies – of course I had to try my luck with this first moon opportunity since last winter! The moon was rising in the east-south-east and after studying the map, I decided that my best chances were in Rullbo.…

Very exciting day – looking for the ghost orchids (Epipogium aphyllum)! I really had been looking forward to seeing it, because these mysterious small pale orchids have become my favourites. Last year was spectacular for them so we didn’t dare to hope it would be equally good this year, but I think it turned out…

As far as warm and sunny summer weather goes, then July wasn’t it. We got rain, then it rained a bit more, and when it stopped raining it started again. Ok it wasn’t entirely that bad, but it sure wasn’t good either. But don’t get me wrong – I’m not complaining! By some freak accident…

Some wise photographer once said that if your pictures are not good enough, then you’re not close enough. I wholeheartedly subscribe to that, so when it was time to photograph the creeping lady’s-tresses orchids (Goodyera repens), I focused as close as the macro lens allowed and now I finally have some pictures of this orchid…
