Read MoreCamera+ 1.2 – really nice
I bought Camera+ when it first was released and I thought it was a nice application. Nice, but not incredible good – then came version 1.1 which improved the whole experience. Good but still not something special. A few days ago came version 1.2 and it has one feature that I really like and that made Camera+ really interesting – the ability to control where the camera focus *and* independently control the exposure. This feature makes it really easy to control the exposure, here are few example that I just took. In all photos the focus in on the trees above the roof – the...
Read MoreLooking for stories
When I look at sites like Flickr, Picasa, Smugmug or Expono I see a huge number of very good photos … but they rarely tell a story, I mean they tell a story in the sense that they show a single moment in time and what happened then. But what happened before and after that moment?? I really like stories (or whatever you want to call them) where text and images complement each other to tell a story – note, I’m not talking about text that use photos as illustrations but about stories where both text and images are “first class citizens”. Unfortunately, I’ve...
Read MoreDoes it mean that I’m getting better?
Today I had to look at my archived to find some photos that I could use … and became almost embarrassed when I looked at them, they were so bad. I’ve always been interested in photography and had my own lab at home when I was a kid (thanks dad), but for about 20 years I almost didn’t touch a camera. A few years back I got a digital point-and-shoot and I started to take photos again, at first only a few each year – now somewhere in the range of 20 000 – 30 000 images per year. Which mean that I’m not a super-interested amateur but probably more interested...
Read MoreThe Last Battle
I took these photos almost 6 months ago but I haven’t managed to publish them until now. They are from an re-enactment of the last battle on Swedish soil.
Read MoreThe Daily Shoot
A few days ago James Duncan Davidson wrote a blog post about how he and a friend talked about getting a daily photo challenge … after a while they came up with the The Daily Shoot project. The idea is simple – every day they send out a challenge on Twitter, for example todays challange is “How do ants see the world? Change your viewpoint. Make a photograph with your camera at floor level.”, and your task is to try to take a photo that meet this challenge. Next you upload the photo and reply to the tweet with a link to the photo. The important thing to remember is that...
