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.…

I haven’t ridden the motorbike since my accident. At first of course I had to recover from it, then the weather took a turn to the worse (I’m a nice weather biker) and then I had holidays… and before you know, the summer is winding down and the bike is standing abandoned in the garage.…

Time for a rant. I bought a pair of wellingtons in May, the expensive sort with good ankle support so I could use the wellies instead of hiking boots on my excursions (which often take me to bogs and other wet places). Very early on I noticed that there’s a hole in the tip of…

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…

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…

Läste i DN att ”astronomer har tagit de hittills skarpaste bilderna på Betelgeuse” och var förstås jättenyfiken på att se bilderna. Och det visade sig att allt är relativt i rymden – tittar man på bilden i artikeln så förstår man att det finns nog ganska så många sätt att definiera ”knivskarp”, LOL!
