There’s one lens that I haven’t used on the new camera yet, and that’s the lens that I’ve really been itching to use – the Mega-Tamron! At the long end, it’s a whopping 960mm on the 7D2. But with November being as dark as it has been, I haven’t had any chances. Today however, there was…

As usual, when there’s nothing else to do, go to the zoo. I really had no expectations today, if I would get one nice picture then it would be a bonus. It would be a nice day out, in any case. When I got to the first wolf enclosure and saw the shutter speeds I…

Third zoo in just over three weeks, third nice zoo visit in a row. We drove to the Orsa Björnpark today and got lucky with the weather, it felt like a risk because the forecast said it would be half sunny but it was actually quite foggy and the fog didn’t start clearing out until…

As usual, with nothing better to do, go to Järvzoo. And am I ever happy I did… I’ve never seen the wolverines put up such a show before! I’ve seen them play before, but not as long time as today, and not so close. It was a very overcast day though so the shutter speeds weren’t…

I had a day off and drove to the Frösö Zoo in Östersund. They only keep open during the summer season and they close on Sunday, so this was the last chance. I’ve been there once before, many many years ago and all I could remember from that visit was that they have cotton headed tamarins…

The weather hasn’t been much fun all week, there’s a cold wind blowing and occasionally the clouds dump some snow or hail or sleet or rain, anything to make me want to stay indoors and drink some more coffee. But today I was brave enough to go to the zoo and I really wanted to…

It appears that the weather hasn’t been so nice in the lowlands either. There was a lot of snow when I got home, but now the temperatures are up again and the snow is disappearing fast. It helps that it’s been windy… now that’s a familiar tune… But now that I had a vacation day…

Well, now I’ve had my first ”real” day out with the new Tamron megazoom. I can’t really do any attempt at a review, I mean the lens is one of two things – good enough, or not. It would be foolish to even try to compare sharpness to the Canon 300/4. I’m not interested in…

So we finally got some snow! Earlier in the week it looked like there wouldn’t be any snow at all so I had made some plans to check a few more spots along the river. When it started snowing, I thought those spots would be even nicer with some open water surrounded by snow. Until…

What do you do when you have nothing to do? Go to the zoo, of course. Landscape shooting is not an option now that the leaves have fallen, I’m just waiting for the first snow to turn things around again. I walked around the zoo twice today, just to get some exercise while I was…
