OK, OK !! I admit, I have bought a new camera! The meaning of “new” is that it’s new to me, it’s a second hand camera that I bought from MPB (great shop if you’re looking for used gear). It’s an 8-year-old model, the LUMIX GM1, a micro four thirds camera that was … read more

After a workweek looking at my computer screen, I decided I needed to do something else. So, as usual, I decided to go for a “photowalk”. But instead of walking around in the village where I live, I decided to try something new. So I took the car, went to the other side of Umeå and took … read more

Trying to avoid some household chores, I decided to take a look at what cameras I have used 2017-2021 and it’s fun to see how it has changed. Let’s start with 2017 2017 I did take less photos than usual in 2017, and half of them was taken using my D700. This is the camera I used for … read more

I’m kind of nervous about this I’ve never cleaned a sensor before but after looking at a few tutorials I decided to try. We’ll see how it goes … Some time later: Well, partial success I would say. It looks like I managed to get rid of the dirt/dust I wanted to remove, but … read more

During the last 11 months my total time at work has been about 2 hours. I have spent the rest of the time at home having meetings via Zoom, etc. Support at work gave me a decent webcam that have worked flawlessly … but I wasn’t 100% happy with it. When I looked at the video it looked … read more

A week or two ago I bought Sean Tucker’s Collection IV. If you don’t know who Sean Tucker is you should really go to his YouTube channel and watch a few videos. The important videos are not the “how-to” videos but the ones where he discusses various things surrounding … read more

I deserve to sit down with this book tonight. I’ve spent the day on administrative tasks and trying to figure out how the various systems the university have should be used. Not to mention 6 Zoom meetings yesterday. So tonight I will give myself a treat and enjoy this book that I got in the mail … read more

One of the advantages of living where I live are the differences between seasons. In “spring-winter” the sun comes along and everything gets a bit brighter, with a bit of luck it gets bright enough to catch a few photos during the day. In spring trees, plants and flower is starting to … read more

Det finns en hel del podcasts om foto, en del är OK, en del är mindre bra men sedan finns det en som sticker ut lite extra: Photography Daily. Jag lyssnat på den nästan sedan den startade och tycker den är riktigt, riktigt bra. Det är dagliga avsnitt under måndag-fredag där avsnitten måndag-torsdag … read more

In theory, LR syncing is really, really great: by using Lightroom’s syncing feature I’m supposed to be able to take photos on my iPhone and have them synced to Adobes cloud … and when I open Lightroom Classic (I’ll call the other version Lightroom Cloud) on my desktop … read more

I found out about PhotoStatistica yesterday and I couldn’t resist buying and try it on my photo library. It took some time before PhotoStatistica the collected the data but once this is done it is quick to check different statistics. So here is some data from my library Aperture I’m not … read more

I think I better explain what I meant with the problem was to make the photos interesting in a previous post. I did not mean that Kendo isn’t interesting, just that for me the problem was to make my photos interesting. Let me explain, in Jutsu there is a lot of movement like when a person is … read more

I’m slowly understanding why some people place so much importance on ending up on Flickr Explore. First time for me (I think, I never check) and that picture currently have 1800+ views instead of the more normal 2 or 3. Interesting phenomena.

Every time I decide to stop searching for a Lightroom replacement and really learn how to take advantage of the program, I find something that gets me to think “I can’t get rid of Lightroom fast enough”

Merry Christmas - God Jul
