When I was a teenager, my parents took me to two separate trips. First my mom took me to Tunisia, and the next year my dad took me to London. I spoke with my sister today about some inheritance issues and about dad (he seems to getting used to being on his own now) so…

Well guess what? I did make those tests to see how I’m affected by the shutter shock. And you know what I found out? I’m not. Affected. By shutter shock. I took a range of exposures from 1/20 to 1/200 and not one of them was soft. Then I tested with the anti-shock setting in…

So I tested with the anti-shock setting in the E-M5 to see if I can stop the shutter shock effect. I’m not there yet, I did get a fair deal of soft pictures but I also got some sharp ones. Seems like exposure times between 1/40 and 1/100 are most prone to it. Weird, but…

First day out with the new camera, exciting! And what’s even better, it was snowing in the morning and I just kept looking outside to see when it would be light enough to go for a walk, eager to get out. The first photo opportunity wasn’t very far away, I can see this view from…

Didn’t I say that it’s already hard to remember the details of all old trips? I finally found my old photo albums and discovered that the Grand Canyon trip I wrote about yesterday was actually in 1999. In ’96 I did a Greyhound bus tour together with a pal in the East Coast US, and…

Since I’m already totally out of ideas for my 365 project and it’s only been two weeks, I started rummaging through my old storage boxes for some hidden treasures. And that’s indeed what I found – in monetary terms, trash, but the stuff sure brough back some memories. I was trying to remember where I…

When the outside temperature plummets, it’s nice to have a fireplace!

Ljusnan is freezing surprisingly fast. Well at least I’m surprised… it’s only been a few days with freezing temperatures but already there’s only a narrow strip of open water left, with quite a fast flow. The slabs of ice on the shore never completely melted away during the thaw but the river was most definitely…
