November 2008 was very much like November 2007, which I think is a good thing considering all the snow. And just like last year, December started with more snowfall so it’s looking good so far. I got my barometer back in the middle of the month, for what it’s worth. * * * Temperature (High):…

It has been snowing all day. I’m not complaining – well, other than maybe I’m wishing it would snow a little bit more. Those big flakes that are easy to catch on camera. I ventured out to a lake again, but this time a lake that I’m familiar with so no wet feet. I was…

A day of snowfall and I was really looking forward to a long walk to enjoy it. I got down to a lake I rarely visit and initially followed it by walking through forest on my way to a potential photo spot. No photo ops were appearing though, so I decided to walk on the…

It’s been snowing nicely the past days and SMHI just confirmed that winter has indeed arrived. Seems like it’s arrived in the rest of Europe as well, read in the news that snowfall is causing havoc in traffic in many countries. Me, I’m just happy to be still be able to drive in the forest…

The linguist in me just loves articles like this. Be sure to read the comments to the previous article as well, I got many a good laugh reading the discussion going back and forth in defence of the English spelling. And don’t miss the reference to Finnish – although the thing about not having any…

This day was even worse than yesterday – just as foggy, but now we got rain as well. Lovely. So it was another long walk with the G10 and this time I experimented with the ISO values. And again I agree with what everyone says, the IQ is usable up to ISO 200 and anything…

My first day day out with the new Canon PowerShot G10! And what a lousy day it was. By that I mean the weather – I wasn’t missing the 40D in any case so having the new camera to test meant that at least I got something done and not just sit inside all day…

You’re not gonna believe this but… I just got myself a compact camera, Canon PowerShot G10 to be exact. I have wanted a small portable camera for a long time now. The 40D is no lightweight, neither is the 24-105mm zoom lens. Put these together and you’re dealing with a big and heavy camera. There…

Since there’s been some talk about me being a photo purist who doesn’t like manipulate pictures, I thought I should confess to some photo fixing every once in a while. The real issue I’ve been preaching about is disclosure – manipulate all you want, but I think it’s only fair that the manipulation is disclosed.…
