I’ve been a bit lazy about updating the blog so here’s a bunch of random pictures and thoughts from the past week. As I mentioned in the last post, I went on an excursion with the camera club to Klövsjö. It was actually quite nice and we got 50/50 weather – pouring rain in the…

This is actually my last day at the cabin. I’m leaving indecently early tomorrow morning to meet up with some camera club members in Klövsjö for a day of shooting. I have no expectations about the photography, but it will be nice to have some company after four days in the cabin alone. Today’s activity…

The weather hasn’t been too bad so far, but it’s patchy and good light is hard to get. There are moments when there is more blue sky than clouds, but that doesn’t last for long and then you’re standing there waiting again with camera in hand. But I’m used to these conditions and I don’t…

It’s the national day in Sweden today, which pretty much only means that it’s a day off. I have been working some late nights in the recent weeks and felt that I could use more time off than just one day, so I took out Wednesday and Friday as well and now I’m enjoying a…

What a surprise. After exhausting my energy yesterday, I felt downright lethargic today. I spent most of the day sitting on the sofa, wondering occasionally if I should try to do something useful. But what the heck, it’s my day off. If I want to sit down and do nothing, then should just do it…

Surprise, I have a new lens in the bag! I’ve been wondering about this problem of mine when going on hikes and trying to carry light, that I most often have to sacrifice the heavy 150mm macro. Which then leaves me only with the ”macro” function on the 24-105mm lens, and let’s be honest… it…

It feels like it’s forever since I did any proper landscape shooting. But today, things sure turned around. Everything is green by now so all the spots that I have been thinking about are good to go. Or not. Not everything turns out quite like you expected… so I found today that some spots that…

What a wonderful weekend it has been! The calendar says it’s still spring, but it sure feels summer. On yesterday’s excursion when I ended up in a wet mire wearing non-Goretex shoes, I wouldn’t have known I stood in water if I didn’t look down and saw the water covering my feet. That’s how warm…

I think I mentioned last year that I might convert my old 40D to infrared when I bought my new camera. But then somebody wanted to buy the 40D and I had to decide between making money on it, or spend money on it. Kind of a no-brainer! But I was still interested in infrared,…

The photographic slump continues, waiting for the greens. It’s actually starting to happen now, with ever so slight green tint on the birches. Some birches actually very nearly sport mouse ears by now, so give it another week and the landscape will be transformed. Exciting times… this is the spring equivalent of first snow! I…
