A good time by the seaside

July 05, 2023 in Photography

About a month ago it was time for the season closer for my photo club and we had decided to have a bit of a hot dogs and beer moment by the ocean at the Sibbarp camping site just south of Malmö, Sweden. We’ve been there a few times before and it’s such a delightfully pretty site…provided the weather behaves itself! We definitely got lucky with that on the day, the sun was out in full force…almost too full in fact, making for quite a few overexposed images on the memory cards. That could have been my fault too of course, being a dummy with my camera…

The 365 Project Mark VI - Month Six

July 01, 2021

Half a year has gone by since I snapped the first image in this project and now we’re in the home stretch! Just over 180 images have been uploaded to my Instagram account and here on my site from January 1 to June 30th and I am pretty content with the stuff I’ve shared so far.

Light is returning

March 28, 2021 in Photography

It is not exactly a world-shattering piece of news that when the calendar turns from February to March to April the days get longer and the light returns. This year though it feels different; it feels more important to notice the light coming back, because it signifies a symbolic return to normal…eventually. It is nature’s promise that even though the winter was bleak there is lighter times ahead. So I enjoy being outdoors seeing that the light is back here again with us!

Ice, Ice, Ice Baby!

First…apologies for the title…it was too obvious a pick (also, now you’ve got that dreadful Vanilla Ice cover on your brain for awhile…congratulations!)

The weather this winter has been…interesting. As I write this during the last week of February we have 12 degrees Celsius (54 Fahrenheit) and birds are chirping away outside while some tree thought it a good idea to release pollen into the air, way too early for my eyes to appreciate it. A week and a half ago we had -10 Celsius (14 Fahrenheit) at night and it was definitely thick longjohns time if you wanted to spend extended amounts of time outside in the dark!

Ridiculously wide images!

When you start going down the rabbit hole of analog photography you can develop what is known as G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome), where you want to buy ALL the cameras of ALL the different types out there because they’re just so cheap! At least they used to be. Nowadays analog cameras are going up in price at a somewhat alarming rate (for those who want to buy new stuff all the time). Personally I am quite happy with the cameras I have at the moment so I don’t feel the need to hunt for any new gear…except perhaps a lens or two for my medium format camera. But that is for a later date.

Spring is coming...isn't it?

February 24, 2019 in Photography

It’s been a bit longer than usual between this post and my previous one (about podcasts) and even longer between this one and my previous photography related post. I think I got hit with the almost annual it’s-winter-and-it’s-too-dark-to-shoot-anything-and-why-am-I-even-bothering-with-this-hobby symptoms. I’m through that now though (I hope), especially with a few sunny days that we’ve had in the last week or so! Of course when I write this first part of the blog post it’s pouring down with rain again, but i guess you can’t have it all (and I am not outside in it, but rather inside, tapping away at my keyboard)!

A Day at the Sea

April 11, 2016 in Photography

As the temperature slowly increases and the days grow longer it gets nicer and nicer to be out and about in the "wild", especially when you don't have to wear all the winter gear! This week's blog post has pictures from Falsterbo in the far southwestern corner of the province, where I along with a few others were enjoying the sunshine, warm(ish) weather and relatively calm winds
