Five things I long for

Summer has just began in Umeå. I’m sitting infront of my laptop and looking true my photo archive and rediscover some of the moments when I stod there with my camera and I pressed the shutter.

And I came up with a list of five things I really long for.

  • Running in the mountains.
  • Sitting by the fire with good friends.
  • Photographing birds.
  • Thunder and lightning.
  • Taking a swim after a hot and sunny day.

Running in the mountains

Putting on my running shoes and vest fulled with water and a couple of bars. The weather doesn’t really matter.

Sitting by the fire with good friends.

The experience gets better if you do something you love with others. Right?

Photographing birds

I miss dragging my long and heavy telephoto lens and tripod out to watch and photograph birds.

Thunder and lightning.

Some are afraid of the lightning and the rumble from the sky. I can understand that! I have great respect for the force but I’m as much fascinated by it!

Taking a swim after a hot and sunny day.

Is there a better way to end a warm summer day?

Tell me, what do you long for?


Photographing birds

I don’t do it as much as I want these days, but I love it! I’m talking about photographing birds. 🙂
It takes time and planning to get good photos. You’ll need to know were the birds when the light is the best. You could wander around and depend on luck. But my experience is that good planning and scouting is the key to good images!

You also need a long lens so you don’t disturb the birds. But a long lens also helps to get a cleaner shoot. It helps to have a fast camera with a fast and precise autofocus as well.

I have the gear but I don’t have the time now. But I have an archive full of photos to look at! And I have updated my portfolio with a couple of new photos!

I hope you having a wonderful day! 🙂


Lavskrika

Lavskrika eller som vi säger i Åsele, “Köcksiken”.

Jag satt med en kopp kaffe och en bulle när den kom och hälsade på. Jag gav självklart Lavskrikan en bit av bullen 😊


Hösten är här

20160915_sorasele_evening_0142

Efter ett varmt september har hösten kommit med regn och lägre temperatur! Naturen går sakta men säkert in i dvala. Tranorna, svalorna och många andra fåglar har flugit söderut. Kanadagässen och svanarna är dock fortfarande kvar. Men om kvällarna är det stilla och tyst. Bara vinden och regnet som smattrar.


Tranor i dimma

Dimman låg tät över jordbrukslandskapet i morse. Några tranor hördes kraxa någonstans inne i dimman.
I september 2009 lyckades jag fånga en familj tranor i just tät dimma.

Närkontakt

Den 3:e februari publicerade Västerbottens Folkblad en artikel om Kurt-Olof Edström och om hans drömjobb, tjäder inventering.

Bilden på Kurt-Olof och tjädertuppen är fotograferad av mig. I början av april 2010 följde jag med Kurt-Olof ut för att titta till en spelgalen tjädertupp. Spelplatsen hade avverkad kände sig säkert lite vilse…

Tjädertuppen anföll oss och Kurt-Olof håller den på behörigt avstånd med ena skidstaven. Jag fick även se tuppen på nära håll! Ena staven fastnade på under vingen medan jag försökte hålla balansen på skidorna och fotografera 🙂

Looking back at 2013

20130120_winter_0113

2013 was far from a good year in terms of my photography. I did not find the inspiration and picture ideas that I wanted to during the year. But I did manage to find 10 images that will represent 2013.
