I warned you that I would post some more squirrel pictures! The ”problem” is that I’ve taken better squirrel pictures in the past two weeks than I’ve done in the past whatever years. The second problem is that every picture I have from the past weeks is the animal sitting on the same little perch,…

I had quite a day yesterday. In the morning I had the pleasure of having the squirrel as company and was quite happy about the resulting pictures, and then in the afternoon we did a skiing trip in Lofsdalen and in the evening I shot the perigee moon rising over the Hovärken mountain. I can’t…

Since I have nothing else to post, I thought I would share a couple of a squirrel pictures caught the other day. It was a pleasant surprise that this time the squirrel didn’t run off when I opened the window, so I got a number of a frames and some of them quite nice, too.…

When all else fails, go back to basics. Or in this case, go back to what you know best and for me it’s detail. A birch as a whole is tragically un-photogenic at this time of the year, but this bark detail caught my eye and I was happy I had the little Powershot in…

I was supposed to be studying last night, but at 8pm I couldn’t resist checking the aurora forecast and it looked like there would be a chance of some activity. So I packed up and left – I mean give me a break, I had been sitting in front of the computer for 13 hours…

I surprised myself by making an effort last night. There was half a chance to see some auroras and now that the weather has turned for the warmer, I thought it’s worth a try. Even if the wind was really bad so I knew that any trees I would put in the frame would be…

Sometimes when I’m on an excursion, I come back with pictures which share a common theme. It can be the subject matter or the style of photography, but you can see this thread quite clearly. The weather plays a big role on what kind of pictures I end up with, but other than that I…

I had such a blast on Friday’s moonlight walk that I just had to do it again, even if the moon wasn’t quite full any more last night. I learned that the margins are very small when it comes to moonlight, and the moon phase is just one of the factors. There was a lot…

Thanks to the solar eruptions earlier this week, there was a fair chance of seeing some aurora. I was looking at the aurora forecast all evening yesterday but unfortunately it didn’t look like we would get any northern lights this far south. But since it was a full moon night and the snow cover was…
