The last time I visited the Orsa Bear Park, the conditions were… bad. The animals seemed to hate the weather as well, so I got almost nothing out of it. But today was compensation, everything seemed to work out for the best! Or maybe it’s just beginners luck. I thnk the first time I visited…

It’s been another weird winter. Almost all the snow we have now came in December, and since then we’ve had some warm periods with snowmelt. And now it’s really cold again, it was -20 degrees this morning. But the sun is warm, so even if the winter is trying to stage a comeback, it is…

I had an itch to go somewhere because the local walks just aren’t interesting to me. So in order to get my butt off the couch, I drove to Järvzoo. It was an overcast day but the cloud cover was very thin, so there was plenty of light for shooting in the zoo, even at…

The wonderful winter weather we’ve been having is all gone. First it was windy so that the trees lost their snow decoration. Then it became warm and rainy and the landscape is just plain awful now. Another long weekend and absolutely no prospects for any meaningful photography. Disaster. I think I will sit at the…

One of the questions I had in my mind about going full frame is what will happen at the telephoto end. My 300mm lens will now be just that – 300mm. The way I figured it, it’s not a bad thing. Obviously we always want more reach, but the 1.6 crop factor is replaced by…

November. Almost every year, it’s the photographic low point and this year is no exception. It’s hard to get less inspired than I am right now, so I’m really hoping for some miracles in the next few weeks… firstly, that the snow would finally arrive, and secondly, that my new camera will arrive. The only…

A visit to Järvzoo today. Weather was good for photography, overcast, a little bit too dark in some of the forested enclosures but that’s always the case. Better than contrasty sunlight anyway. Took a load of pictures and I realised, even as I was shooting, that I’m not really creating anything special. Same old animals,…

Rainy today, so it’s perfect for a visit at the zoo. I now have the year pass so it doesn’t really matter if I don’t get any pictures, at least I get to walk a few kilometres which is far better than watching movies at home. When it’s raining, it means that there’s not a…

My sister and her daughter came for a visit. So on Thursday I drove home, picked them up in Ljusdal, then we drove to the cabin for a couple of days and back home, I left them off in Ljusdal this morning so now the house is quiet and I am the master of my…

The summer is starting truly atrocious. Yesterday morning I had to scrape the ice off the car windows and today… it was snowing. We knew that the weather wouldn’t be good today but still not bad enough for the zoo, so we drove to the Orsa Bear Park. At first, the only problem was the…
