Hello darkness my old friend...
It is Halloween (October 31st) when I write this and we are now in the period of the year when my photography usually takes a sharp drop in frequency. The daylight is getting shorter and shorter in these northern parts of the world - especially so after Daylight Saving Time is over - and frankly the stuff out there I want to take pictures of get less and less interesting. Foliage is rapidly falling off their branches and the all too frequent rainy and cloudy weather takes away many of the interesting shadows and potential light situations.
Out there at night...
A second blog post in less than two weeks’ time…what is this? Is there suddenly a return to old times when I posted several times a month? I don’t know honestly, but I figured that I’d post something of my recent stroll through the twilight and first hour of darkness in Malmö. I was there for a board meeting at my photo club and some other errands and figured I’d arrive a little early and give myself some time to walk around with my Fujifilm XT-3 and a 35 mm 2.0 lens.
...'tis the season once again
Regular as clockwork (or should that perhaps be calendar work, given that it’s an annual thing?) the holiday season comes along and cities go nuts with hanging up lights and decorations in the streets and squares. I am absolutely fine with this tradition, in fact I definitely enjoy it! Especially after the ultra doomy, gloomy, dark and rainy November we had this year I feel we’ve definitely earned it!
