Evening in Budapest – Honourable Mention at EPA 2022 in the Fine Art – Cityscape category. You can see it on the EPA Winners website (searching for ‘Budapest’ seems to be the fast way) I didn’t have a zoom lens with me when strolling along the Danube this summer with my Canon R6. But I…

framing
are you using framing in your photos? intentional or accidental? this is what framing does: provides a context for the subject leads the eye to the subject creates depth there are various types of framing such as architectural and geometric – as in my photo above. others types are natural framing (using trees, for example)…
shoot your cake and eat it too!
every time I try to read about photographing food I find those articles going on and on about complicated techniques which ultimately lead to great photos of… inedible things. have you seen such articles? they sound like: use frozen food. use foam instead of whipped cream. use motor oil instead of syrup. fake ice. grrrr!!…
happy holidays!
Have a wonderful time with your loved ones, keep safe and take lots of pictures!! Just in case I don’t post anything else before Christmas 🙂
dancing fire and sparks
How to photograph a fire show? That is the question I wish I asked myself before facing one with the camera this weekend. As it was, I went on trial and error. I didn’t know fire would be present and I’ve never seen a fire show quite like this one before. A fantastic, magical show…
review: Picfair
The first thing people cringe about when discussing selling photos is the idea that they’d lose them. That is NOT the case.

November. There’s so little natural light here in Sweden and it can happen that one doesn’t see the sun for weeks. It’s grey, sad and often wet. One starts to watch tv and the camera is forgotten until spring… Nope. I don’t like that and I’m going to fight it! I’ve been googling and thinking…
are photo contests worth it?
That is a good question, isn’t it? 🙂 As always, things are not completely black and white… It depends on what you’re after or in which development phase you find yourself. And it depends which kind of contests. I have just entered this image above to an Instagram challenge. Free and fun! But there is…
shooting in the cold
Winter is coming and while I’m drinking a nice glass of port at home right now, tomorrow I’ll go out. And it will be cold. Hopefully not as cold as in the featured image, taken on frozen Öresund in February this year. Yes, the actual sea was frozen for miles. Anyway, here’s a short reminder…
