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…
The landscape photography equivalent to ”value for money” must be the ratio between the effort and result. How much effort is required to reach your photo spot, and how good are the opportunities there? Livsäterån must be place with the best such ratio in Funäsfjällen because it’s easy to reach and the photo ops are…
I have finally fulfilled a long time dream to move to the mountains! A week ago I landed in Ljusnedal and I’m still trying to get used to the idea that now I live here. For 15 years, I’ve been coming here for vacations and weekends and always tried to cram as much hiking and…
With so many days off during the Christmas period, I needed to do something else than long walks around home. I was curious to see Njupeskär in the winter, that’s a nice day trip and I got a fellow photographer to go with me so we set off in the early hours in order to…
On the last day in Iceland, we tried something new – we skipped the early morning session and had breakfast first, before heading out to the field. We drove to the same area where we were yesterday, but just stopped at slightly different spots. There had been more snow overnight… or maybe not snow, but…
A windy and rainy morning for a change. But we got a bit of relief when we did our shooting in a cave, the only problem was that the cave wasn’t really big enough for 8 photographers and their tripods so I took my pictures in a bit of a hurry (I wasn’t inspired enough…
