Hi everyone,

Here’s an image from a few weeks ago. My daughter is playing with water. It was beautiful light so I just had to take a few shots. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for stopping by.

By the way. In a few weeks time you can expect a few wedding shots uploaded to the blog. I’m really looking forward to it. If you like what you see (and got a wedding to look forward to) please feel free to contact me. More to come on this exciting subject.

Bye for now.

Hi everyone,

It’s been a while since I last posted something on my blog. I have been taking a time off from photography. Needed a break. Hopefully I can get back again… Well, I have two weddings coming up so to be honest I don’t really have a choice…

Anyway, this is Ida, my daughter, looking up on her crock backpack. Hope you like it. i took it for an assignment on TMELive.com. The theme for the assignment is GREEN.

Thanks for stopping by.

The dancing queen

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by. The image above shows my daughter dancing. I borrowed a lovely Nikkor 105 f/2 lens from a friend and decided to shoot Ida.

The light was very low, 1/4 sec @ f/3,5, so the images weren’t that great because of the blur. I then realized that I could use the slow shutter to my advantage and asked Ida to start to dance. As you all know – a little bit of blur is a mistake, a lot of blur is artistic :-) . This is what happened here.

Be happy… see you soon.

Ida and Hugo

Went to my sisters last weekend to take images of toys. Yes, true. My nephew, Casper, has images of his favorite toys framed and up on his walls in his room. I do this every now and then. I will post a few of these shortly. First Casper has to select which ones he likes the most.

I also took the opportunity to shoot Ida, my daughter and her other cousin Hugo. These two 2,5-year-old’s are amazingly funny. Every time they meet they start running. I got them to stay reasonably still for a few seconds. If you look at these images large you see they are not critically sharp but I don’t care.

Hope you like them. Thanks for stopping by.

This is Ida, my daughter. This image is taken a few weeks ago on a skiing holiday. She has just taken a shower. I love this image and the way she looks into the camera. It’s not super sharp, there’s a bit of camera shake blur going on. Hope you like it. Have a nice weekend.

Hope you like it. Have a nice weekend.

Btw, have look at my latest video. It’s all about exposure and how to get the best quality image possible.

Moa and Ella

Last weekend I took Moa and Ella with me on a 30 minute informal photo shoot. They were playing in the snow and I took pictures. They are lovely. They also like to be photographed. Which is great.

For me it’s a treat having people in front of the camera and not only trees and piers :-) .

Here are a few samples. Hope you enjoy.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hi everyone,

Here is an image from a few days ago. We have had an unusually snowy winter. I can’t remember the last time we had this much snow.

This image is taken quite close to my home. I went out with my car and turned left onto a dirt road that I hadn’t been on before. It turned out to be a great place for photography. I will get back.

On a separate note. I will try and publish part 2 of episode 3 in the making of “?”.

Thanks for stopping by.

More city images

Hey folks,

Here’s another set of images from the 1,8 photo walk the other day. I love these kind of photo adventures when I don’t have a plan. the only thing I have decided on is to stick with f/ 1,8 and then based on that see what’ll happen.
It’s actually very good to limit yourself. It boosts your (or at least my) creativity. Try to do this the next time you are out taking images.

We have had VERY grey weather lately. For about a week now I have been hoping for better skies. It’s been a while since I took some good long exposure images. The way the sky is at the moment (no detail at all, just a pure grey sky) it’s just going to be boring images.

Anyway, it will be better someday.

Here’s a link btw that I want to share with you. Alain Briot is a very successful fine art photographer. Have a look at his web site. A lot of useful information.

1.8 photowalk

December 1st, 2009

Yesterday was a real photo day. I spent 1,5 hours after work shooting in Malmö down town. It was of course more or less completely dark so I was stuck with the 50 mm lens and f/ 1.8. It turned out to be a pretty good experience. the shots above are the ones I like the most.

I actually went down to the sea during my lunch break for some long exposure shooting but the weather was totally grey. I took a few shots but they are very uninteresting.

Well, anyway. Since my car broke down this morning I couldn’t get to work. No chance of commuting where I live!! I ended up recording a video, the second episode in the series that I call “the making of”. Unfortunately after finishing the video (25 minute long!!) I found out the sound was bad, really bad. Need to get myself a new mic so that I can rerecord it.

Have a good night.

Happy feet

During July of this year I spent a day together with a friend shooting the not-so-nice side of Malmö.
After a while we came to Möllan. A funny place where all sorts of things can happen. This day was very warm and sunny. As a photographer overcast is preferred. Especially if you are looking to shoot street/city scenes.
However, these two girls were having fun in the sun sitting in the window having coffee. I couldn’t resist taking this shot. It’s not great but pretty funny. I was hoping for one or maybe both of them to lean forward and look at me but they didn’t.

If you’re interested in viewing more images please have look at my Flickr page.

Thanks for stopping by.
