The last day! It’s surprising how calm the weather is again, so we started with some lakeside shooting. But then, inevitably, it started raining again so after a few frames I packed the camera again. The rain wasn’t all bad though, and it was coming and going, so after breakfast we drove to a place which…

The weather wasn’t good enough to bother for a morning shoot, so we had a sleep-in and ate breakfast at the hotel, then started driving towards Glencoe. By the time we reached it, it was raining – pouring. And windy. We drove to Glen Etive and the others seemed to be inspired to shoot despite the…

We did a morning hike to a valley with several waterfalls. The hike up was a bit harder than I expected, and the result less rewarding… it’s not the fault of the place, it really has potential, it’s just that the light wasn’t anything to cheer about. But finally I found a waterfall I was…

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…

In the morning I was so tired I didn’t even want to go out. But sometimes all you need is to open the door and once you’re outside, the energy is restored and you’re ready for a new challenge. And that’s what happened today. I wrote about Tevån on Monday, about how I need to…

Tevån is a puzzle to me. No matter how many times I visit it, I just can’t figure it out. There I am, walking from fall to fall, pointing my camera this way and that… and nothing works. I’m sure that someone with a different eye for composition can make some great pictures here. Just…

I told you I would do waterfalls this month! I have two waterfall spots within walking distance from home. The best one is Tevån which I will visit next week (I’m just waiting for the colours to change first), but then there’s another creek that I’m fairly sure that not many people visit, at least…

I had some relatives visit me last weekend. The visit was great, but they brought me an unwanted gift – the flu. I haven’t had a cold in over five (5!) years and whether it’s thanks to my wonderful immune system or carefully avoiding any bugs I can’t say, but now that it was put…

The HDR tool in Lightroom does a pretty decent job. I was working on a new idea on Monday, it didn’t quite work out as planned because the clouds wouldn’t co-operate but then I thought, fine, if Mother Nature gives me clouds, then I shoot clouds. Bracketed 5 shots with 1 stop intervals, ran it…

You know me, always trying to come up with ways to carry less gear and enjoy the hike more. My latest idea was to get a light duty ballhead. My light duty tripod is already as light as it can go, without seriously compromising usability. But the ballheads are solid metal and it shows on…
