Snow and sun in the park
With all the darkness and cloudy, shadowless weather we’ve had since before Christmas it was a rare treat to wake up on a Saturday morning and see an almost cloudless sky outside and some actual, genuine sunshine outside. I felt a little bit of a photographic urge inside for the first time in a while, so I grabbed my severely underused shoulder bag with cameras in it and my photo partner (a.k.a. Dad) and drove out to a regular photographic location, the Alnarp Agricultural University and its park.
2025 - looking back at a year (part II)
I started this retrospective look at my photography of 2025 in my last blogpost where I covered the first half of the year, so it made perfect sense to cover the second half in this post (as if I didn’t plan it that way in the first place…). :-) The second half of the year was actually less photography filled than the first half, mostly due to illness in the family that kept interfering. Fortunately that is not as much of an issue now, so hopefully 2026 will end up being MUCH better, both healthwise as well as when it comes to photography!
2025 - looking back at a year
So far photography for me in the year 2026 has been very slow. The low winter sun seems to be gone before I am able to get out there to capture stuff in it, so I am biding my time until the daylight hours last a little bit longer. In the meantime I think I can benefit from going back and think about some of the images I took during 2025. Often I tend to just transfer my photos from the camera to the hard drive, select and edit my keepers and then it is onto whatever is next to photograph, so a bit of a reflection on what is in my saved folders can’t hurt!
Cold by the coast
When the sun shines on a cold winter morning (the thermometer was at -6 C or 21 F) it feels just right to pack oneself and the constant photo partner (a.k.a. Dad) into the car and head down to the coast at Falsterbo. There’s just something special about seeing that horizon line that makes me feel more harmonious inside!
There's images out in them streets!
So far 2024 has been a very low-volume year for me when it comes to photography. I guess I hit that mid-winter slump that usually strikes when the light is almost non-existent and the weather seems determined to be the worst it possibly can be. So I am okay with there being a lull now and then (I’ve written about it several times before in this blog so I won’t dwell on it in this post. That was why I decided to hop on a bus into the center of Malmö for a stroll down my usual “hunting ground” in the downtown area.
The 365 Project Mark VI - Month Two
The older I get the faster time flies by…it’s hard to believe one sixth of 2021 is already over. I guess we’re still in some sort of holding pattern, still waiting for a change from March 2020 so that the “real” 2021 can start.
The second month of the year, this short month, was full of weather contrasts. We both had warm-ish spring days as well as bitterly cold days (and nights especially when the mercury…or whatever’s in thermometers these days) plunged to -12 C (10 F). That made for some rather unusual winter scenes here in southern Sweden where it usually doesn’t get that cold for any prolonged period of time beyond a day or three.
