There’s an interesting discussion over at NPN about ”fixing” your subject, i.e. manipulation before pressing the shutter (as opposed to manipulation in post-processing). If any manipulation needs to be done, I prefer to do mine before I take the picture. I just like the idea of getting it right in the camera. But the dilemma…

I’m proud to present my first photo exhibition this summer! My loosfoto.se site that is dedicated to this little village of ours has gained some momentum and I was asked if I’d be interested in exhibiting some of the photos in the local library. I thought that it would be a great opportunity to reach…

This is in response to Michael Brown’s call for self critique posts. * * * The calypso orchid is very rare and a protected species that likes mossy conifer forests. We have a location where this flower grows a few miles from where I live but I only found the place recently, and the whole…

When I started with photography, my pictures were crap. I did my best to improve them on the computer, using all sorts of filters to try and save them. I was quite happy with the results, but in retrospect, crap in crap out. When I finally learned to create decent images in camera, I ditched…

Another cold (relatively speaking) day and I didn’t want to drive to the same old creek again, so I drove to another creek – river, even. I was driving on the small forest roads, it was sometimes icy but the snow wasn’t a problem for sure… My first stop was at the Högforsen rapids (or…

Another long, boring weekend ahead. Looks like the only photo ops I can find these days is moving water, so I drove to the Österhocklan creek, armed with a Cokin Blue/Yellow varicolour filter (otherwise known as a Blue/Gold polarizer). I don’t normally like gimmick filters but it felt like a gimmick was exactly what I…

There’s plenty of interesting things to see here, natural and unnatural alike. We had decided to skip the further exploration of the Glacier NP so we had an extra day at Yoho NP instead, and this gave us a chance to hike up to the Hoodoos. The weather is great – warm! – but the…

I’ve never been much for studio and still-life photography. Just couldn’t see the point. The charm with nature photography is to actually be out there in the nature. But lately I’ve started wondering if I should try to explore new aspects of photography so I decided to build a mock studio to see if I…

There’s an interesting discussion on NPN at the moment regarding the rules of photography. The discussion starter makes a point for not following the rules and provides an example (which, by the way, just strengthens the case for the rules). The people who have responded say pretty much what I think about the issue as…

I went out right after sunrise. This the first time since the new snow that I got to see the scenery in daylight and I must say that I love it to bits. This is what I have been waiting for! I wouldn’t mind having a lot more snow, but this will do just fine…
