Unfortunately I think we need to have a minimum height requirement for our novices

Det är fantastiskt hur mycket mer trovärdig en film blir om David Attenborough är speakerrösten

Too much snow for the bike - 2023-12-01, day 884

Det är lite fascinerande, den absoluta sämsta väg jag kört på i mitt liv var Strandgatan inne i stan. Och då inkluderar jag när jag har kört på skogsbilvägar där skogsmaskiner kör omkring och när jag körde terrängbilar i skogen i det militära.

Some snow - 2023-11-29, day 882

Honestly, I don’t even know why I try any other tool than BBEdit when it comes to doing stuff with text.

There is one simple rule:

if handling text:
    use BBEdit

No exceptions allowed

I’m getting more and more impressed by Ricoh GR IIIx. Today, I got the idea to try to use it for sports photography … indoors … and I’m impressed. Sure, I used a flash but still.

The combo of a GR IIIx and FlashQ20ii is a small and very powerful combo.

Difficult to capture the mood - 2023-11-25, day 878

I like the mood when it looks like this, but unfortunately I find it really difficult to capture the mood in a photo. This looks so very boring.

I’ve had a number of surprises lately, most of them have been “Ohh no, even more problems/complications that needs to be solved”, but yesterday I got a nice surprise.

The last few days I’ve seen posters all over, they announced a martial arts competition that will be held in a few weeks. The poster had a nice design and in addition to the usual info (when/where/etc) there was a nice action photo that showed what it was all about. I really liked the editing of the photo and started to wonder if I could do the same type of editing to one of my photos - I had been photographing the competition last year. So yesterday evening I opened Lightroom and started to search for a photo to try this style on … and after a minute I realized that it was I who had taken the photo on the poster 😋. Since I don’t have the poster at home I can’t be 100% sure but just 99% sure. So the answer was “Yes”, this kind of editing works on my photos 😁.

I usually remember or recognize photos I’ve taken, but this was edited (background removed) and I probably took around 750-1500 in two hours at this event, so I think I have a good excuse for not remembering it.

(and yes, I’ve had given them my photos to be used freely … you have to help other martial arts clubs)
