In case you managed to miss it, here are some pictures from the best light show of the decade! Or accurately, ”the strongest geomagnetic storm of the current solar cycle” as SpaceWeather.com expressed it. But nevermind what you call it, it was s p e c t a c u l a r ! It didn’t…

It’s been very warm lately and the snowcover is visibly reduced every day – I can see this in the field where the dark spots are growing bigger and more numerous every day. Skiing is but a distant memory but I felt that it’s way too early to finish the season, so I drove to…

Got a couple of days off and spent a long weekend at the cabin. The weather wasn’t the best possible – it wasn’t cold, but it was overcast and windy. Very windy. And it has been windy all winter, which was very evident when looking at the snow cover. I have never seen this many…

With the snow as it is, I’m depressed even by the thought of shooting landscape at home. But with the new camera, I have to find something meaningful to shoot and thus we drove to Hornslandet today. There’s snow, but not at the water’s edge and the water is open as well, so it sure…

A few years ago I was out with some members from the camera club, we were waiting for the raining to stop so we talked about all things camera. The first mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras had just entered the market and while I was not interested in getting one myself, I thought there was a lot…

We have plenty of snow (as seen in the first picture) but it doesn’t help, the landscape is hopeless for any meaningful photography. I prefer my winter trees covered with snow, but the hard wind and above freezing temperatures have done their work and the snow cover in the forests in particular is in a really…

Tested the Sigma 70-200/2.8 today and was disappointed to see that it’s no better than it was before. It’s weird that the autofocus problem with the camera only affected wideangles because you’d expect that whatever focus problems you have, they would be multiplied with longer focal lengths. But the Sigma is exactly the same as…

Got my Canon 7D MkII from service this week, and it seems like the problem is gone! The attached note says that they adjusted autofocus on both the camera and the lens (Canon 15-85mm) but it appears that no other adjustments were made. I’m not entirely sold on that because if the problem had only been…

I think it’s safe to say it’s winter. It’s been snowing two days straight so we finally have a nice snow cover, much better than it ever was last winter. I checked out a new route today and it was heavy going with the fresh snow, and it didn’t even help to follow the snow…

We have enough snow for skiing at home, but I wanted a real winter landscape and I was sure I would find it in Harsa, so I drove there in the morning. I was right, the trees were covered in snow and there was at least twice much snow on the ground as in Ljusdal. The…
