New gear at the train station

October 28, 2019 in Photography, Gear

There is a certain excitement for a photography nerd when there’s new gear around - although in my case the new gear I’ve acquired in the last few year has been OLD gear - in the shape of analog cameras. Last year I got myself a Kiev 60 medium format camera and that was a fun piece of (to me) new old tech to have a go at, shooting those lovely large 6 x 6 cm negatives. I’ve enjoyed exploring 135 format film photography too with various cameras. However, I’ve been feeling that my 2011 Canon 600D DSLR has been used less and less, because the low-light capabilities felt lacking. Also, the size of it was beginning to be a problem for my more and more achy hands (which is a bit ironic, given that when I got that Canon camera I felt I needed to add a battery grip to let my hands grab it properly).

The 365 Project Mark IV - The Ninth Month Summary

October 14, 2019

Ninth mone done and I am fast approaching the 300th picture of the year. Wow! September was an interesting month in this project where I did a few things I’ve not really done before, including paying a visit to a local music and culture festival (more about that later in the blogpost).

Also, this post is a bit on the late side (I usually try to post my wrap-up post of the previous month as soon as possible once the month is over, but this time around I took a blogging break because…well…sometimes it is good to do that - pure and simple.

Green day in Copenhagen

March 18, 2019 in Photography

Second week in a row with digital images from me…which is kind of rare for me these days. Don’t worry though, I haven’t abandoned my analog gear in any sort of way, it’s just that this week’s images would most likely NOT look as interesting in black and white!

I’ve been coming to the St:Patrick’s Day celebrations in Copenhagen for several years to photograph the antics and hijinks of the revelers, and this year I got 7 of my fellow photo club shooters to come along. Everyone seemed to have a good time, even if the winds made the day a sometimes very chilled experience. At least we didn’t have any rain (unlike last time I was there in 2017 when there was quite the downpour).

Back in the digital saddle again...

March 10, 2019 in Photography

For the longest time I’ve shot almost exclusively analog cameras and black and white film, to the point where almost all the photos in the galleries on this site are analog shots, be it from 135 film or 120 film. Also, since before Christmas my father’s DSLR had been in the repair shop so he borrowed mine to do his shooting, which made me shoot even more analog cameras (not that I minded that at all of course!).

Viking Summer 2018

January 20, 2019 in Events, Photography

For a few years a while back I went to every annual summer Viking market at Foteviken just south of Malmö to take pictures, because as a history nerd I thought it was so cool to see people in (at least somewhat period accurate) Viking costumes, re-enacting the time period. Then I felt I had photographed that to the best of both my abilities as well as my interest (mostly the latter), but in 2018 I thought 'I haven't shot the event with analog equipment, so that might be a new challenge!'

A DSLR free week?

November 15, 2015 in Cell Phone, Photography

There are few weeks when I've not taken a single picture with my trusty Canon DSLR, but this has been one of those. The weather has simply been...well...November is a good way to describe it. And Swedish November at that...which means seriously crappy light for photography! Also, it's NaNoWriMo now, that month of the year when writing takes center stage for me, which means I don't mind leaving the big camera in the backpack for a bit!
