This is when the shooting starts. It was an early wakeup call so we could get to Elgol in southern Isle of Skye for seaside photography. Rocks in the foreground, and the mighty Cuillin Hills (highest peak 993m) in the background. On this morning however, you couldn’t see the mountains for the low clouds and…
The flight was uneventful, just the way I like it. Before boarding, they wanted to see the passports and the expiry date of my passport was brought up, but luckily another steward knew that for UK you don’t need a passport which is valid six months after the trip – mine will expire in December…
Did a really nice hike yesterday, from Slättansvallen in Ramundberget to the top of Klasberget. The hike was extra-nice because I was carrying extra-light – no camera gear except my little Panasonic Lumix LX100 compact. I wish I could do all my hikes with such a light pack… but alas, the heavy gear is sometimes needed. As…
Let’s face it, the landscape isn’t very photogenic at the moment so it doesn’t really matter where I go, I can’t have very high expectations on doing any photography. Today was another calm day though so I decided to go a lake and after looking at the map for a while, I decided that Skenören…
We are in between seasons now, but the Andersborg waffle cabin in Tänndalen has been open, until this weekend. So if you want any waffles in the mountains, this is the last chance until the winter season begins! Not one to miss out on the opportunity, I did today’s hike to Andersborg and beyond. Specifically,…
Today was going to be a sunny day so I did what I wanted to do last Saturday – up to Ånnfjället and see if my map scouted panorama spot is as good as I hoped. There were quite a lot of clouds around in the morning, but they were the kind of fluffy clouds…
Last week was disappointing. I made some genuine attempts to shoot, but it felt like every time the weather was exactly what the forecast said it wouldn’t be, or something else just didn’t turn out quite as expected. On Tuesday I walked to the big waterfalls at Kvarnströmmen, I thought there would be a lot…
One thing I’ve been itching to do all autumn is to visit Silverfallet. I’ve been there quite a few times already, but just never managed to do it in the autumn. Or rather, I did it once, but it rained so hard that I had to give up after one picture. And today, two out…
It was just one of those days. Nothing turned out the way I planned. The forecast (three of them) said it would be half sunny in the morning and overcast in the afternoon, so I was out early and hiked up the infernal trail to Ånnfjället and then headed to a new spot I discovered earlier…
With the weather as it was, I was getting a bit desperate to find good option for hiking. But on Friday night, I finally had a good idea and expanded my search for good weather – and found it in Sonfjället. Well, theoretically anyway. You never know how those forecasts really turn out in reality.…
