While I’ve been on holiday, Canon released a new SLR and it’s the fullframe 6D as rumoured. So that’s it then – it’s my new camera! Just as well that I didn’t get the Tokina 16-28mm and Canon 24-105mm lenses sold, because now I will need them. Those investments I made in the Tokina 11-16mm…

6th of June is a day off in Sweden, it’s the national day. There’s not a lot of tradition in Sweden to celebrate the day (it’s only existed as a bank holiday for a few years now). But thanks to its timing in the early summer, this day marks the opening of the summer season…

Shock, horror, how could I forget to post pale pasque flower pictures when on Monday I finally, after so many years, got to see them again? Having searched for them high and low, and then missed the timing a few times, the happiness was total when the location at Gröntjärn had a grand display on…

<Shameless self-promotion> At the Ljusdal camera club, we have a Photographer of the Month and Photo of the Month. The photographer is selected months in advance and it basically just rotates between the members, but the photo of the month is based on votes. There’s a theme for every month, the members submit pictures and…

It seems like lately I’ve been in a lens frenzy. In the past, I’ve normally bought (changed) one lens per year on average. Last year I got two and now I have yet another new lens. The thing is, since I got into wideangle photography, the Canon 24-105mm lens that’s been my normal walkaround lens…

Fox. Check. Ravine. Check. Full moon. Check. Clear sky. Check. Big Dipper. Check. Aurora. Check. For the longest time, I looked like it would be overcast today. But miracles do happen and the weather forecast indicated that it would be clear in the evening and sure enough, it was. The full moon was the reason…

Time to do my traditional sum-up of the year in pictures! As usual, I’m posting my favourite from each month and because not all months are created equal, these may not necessarily be my 12 best pictures of the year. 2011 was a bit of a revolutionary year for me. There were two major things…

Only three months ago I wrote about my new wideangle lens, Tokina 16-28mm. I was mighty impressed with it, but what I really didn’t see coming is that I would find out that it’s not wide enough. Yes sure enough, it’s 26-45mm on a crop sensor, but you have to consider that my previous ”wide…

I’ve noticed that lately (=past few months) I’ve been doing a lot of (=a few more than usual) black and white pictures. It has gotten me wondering if something has changed with me, because I’ve never really had any appreciation for b&w pictures. Which is kind of strange actually, because if my goal is to…

Or, Tokina AF 16-28mm f2.8 AT-X Pro SD FX as it’s officially called (I’ll just call it ”Tokina” in the rest of the post, I’m sure you understand why…). This is the new lens in my bag, when I finally gave in and got the wideangle I had been long wanting and long dreading! Used on…
