3 days in Dublin

Just got back from a 3-day trip to Dublin and i gotta say that it was just as i expected. It was cloudy and rainy, bars everywhere and loads of beautiful architecture. But as always when Im in a new city with a camera i try to focus on the people and their surroundings…

As the weather was kinda bad (which i like for photographing) there was not to much people out but there were a few that dragged their selves out… fortunately.

As a said before everything here was just as i imagined. The people looked as i thought they would and the streets and alleys alike. Not that that is a bad thing.

The city has a lot of different sides to it and i sadly didn’t have nearly as much time as needed to come even close to take it all in.

In all honesty i guess i was sort of preoccupied tasting all the drinks that this fine city had to offer…

But whats that old saying…? “when in Rome!” I had to much to drink and not nearly enough time to take it all in so Im already looking forward to returning to Dublin soon.

Home sweet home

This weekend i was home in Sweden visiting my family. I had almost forgot what real calm feel like. It really is a massive change of pase coming there for a weekend or so. I don’t miss it but it sure is nice to go home and stress out once in a while…

Winter is here

It looks like the winter i didn’t want has come. I was really surprised to see so much people when i stepped out in the cold to take a walk downtown. I guess some people are more used to the cold then i am…

Finally out there

Ohh! It just feels great to finally be out shooting the streets again. It’s been a while since i had the time to go out and shoot. But this weekend i took my GRD3 and went for a walk downdown Oslo.

The snow is gone now so it’s much more pleasing to be out. People are finding their way out of their apartments so now there al least some more life on the streets.


I’ve now been shooting with the Ricoh GRD3 for a while and i gotta say that it sometimes blows me away. In some cases it can be har to judge if a shot is taken with that or the Leica. So is this the best camera that can fit in your pocket? Well, it all depends on what you like… I like fixed lenses so for me this little guy is perfect. I use it as a everyday camera as well as a wide angle camera together with the Leica.

New year, new opportunities

Yes a new year has arrived! They say it’s winter but im sceptic… I really hope that 2012 will bring some more to the table when it comes to my photography. 2011 was a real busy year with very little time to put on the streets. But i got my hopes up for 2012! Right now the days are real short so it’s dark when i come home from work so im more or less limited to shoot on weekends now days… But soon the winter will be over and i’ll have more time to be out photographing life as it happens.

The world is grey

Winter is coming and i can not do anything else but to get sad. Everything is grey and colorless.

The streets and roads are all empty and the summer and sunshine seems all to far away…

Hardware update

Yes, once again there’s been an update in the bag! I’ve been searching for god know how long time for a good compact but been disappointed almost everytime. It’s been the Ricoh R8, the canon G10, the canon S95… But now i think i found it. The Ricoh GRDIII. A small camera built lika a tank equipped with  a 28mm f1.9 lens, what more can you ask for?

I don’t have all that much to show because i haven’t had the time to really test this baby out but from what i can see it looks real promising. Nice smooth tonality with lots of detail.

This is a camera with a small sensor and a wide lens, so this is nothing for the depth-of-field loving. But nevertheless you can get some DOF if you just get close enough

Small sensor and all, but this little thing actually performs quite ok in low light. This was shot on ISO 800. As i said i haven’t had any real time to test this camera out, but from now on it will be in my pocket so you can expect a whole lot more soon.

Framed

20111008-135055.jpg A few days ago I received an email from a reader called James asking me how the leica viewfinder actually looks like. So to answer your question James, here you go! This is the view through the m8 with the 35mm summicron.

Big city life

I know it’s been awful quiet here lately, sorry for that! I’ve been really busy with work and on top of that my computer crached the other day… But now Im back! A few days ago i was in Stockholm visiting some friends and as usual i brought the Leica along with me. Stockholm is a real vibrant city with a lot of beautiful architecture and colorful people. So with no further adieu i thought i’ll show you what i got. (all edited on my ipad since the computer still is dead)

I’ll be back with a whole lot more as soon as get my computer back from service.
Until then i will try my best to keep the blog up to date from my ipad!

Updated

Looki Looki!! The site has once again gone under the knife to get a well deserved facelift. Thing on the older site didn’t work as planned so now i’ve changed platform and design.Everything should now be easier to access and a lot more simplified. Now you can also click on any image for a larger view it. So how do you like it?

More from the cron


Now i’ve had the 35 summicron for a few days and i absolutely love it! It has everything that i thought i Leica lens would have…Cron35real-5
The color reproduction is fantastic, with clean and realistic tones. (Straight out of camera DNG, just converted to jpeg)

Another thing with this lens is that it has virtually no distortion what so ever. But it’s not always about just how sharp a lens is, how little distortion it has or how good the bokeh looks. It’s about feel, something this lens really has! It’s character is like nothing else i’ve ever tried before.Cron35real-2
