The Sky
The sky fascinates me. Constantly it surprises me how it can look completely different from one minute to the next. I find myself very often taking photos of the sky. Sadly since these shots are almost never planned there isn’t so much to see in the foreground. Anyway, here’s a post dedicated to the sky, the greatest canvas in nature. Continue reading
Fireworks
During the new year’s eve fireworks in Åmotfors I managed to capture some of the action. Continue reading
Smoke Pillars
A couple of days ago in Åmotfors there were some nice colors in the sky. The two smoke pillars together with the trees in the foreground gives the scene an eerie feeling. At first I tried to create an HDR image but the result was not satisfactory at all. In the post-processing I used a single exposure and brought back some information from the sky and added a light vignette. That pretty much gave the result I was after.
It’s in the end of December and still no snow. That’s weird.
Moose Hunt
I went with my father-in-law looking for moose. We wanted to get a glimpse of one of the white moose. We didn’t manage to find any moose at all on that trip. If we don’t count the one almost standing in my garden when we came back home. But it was way too dark by then and it wasn’t white after all.
Some shots from that trip turned out OK at least.

Printing Images From Capture One Pro
This is an excellent article about printing images directly from Capture One Pro including some very good tips for soft proofing.
Arvika
This is a view over Arvika at the far end of an icy Kyrkviken. It’s an HDR image (obviously) of five exposures. I didn’t get the natural look I like but the light wasn’t ideal this time.
Kyrkviken
A couple of weeks ago I took some shots of Kyrkviken while taking a walk. It’s a bit soft and the lighting wasn’t the best but I kinda like it still. It’s an HDR image of three exposures.
Reducing Noise With Photo Stacking
In low light situations when the ISO is cranked up to uncomfortable levels there can be quite a bit of noise introduced in the photos. If the scene is reasonable static there is a great technique for reducing the noise in the photo considerably. All you have to do is to take multiple shots of the scene with the same exposure settings and then do some magic in the after processing of the images. Let me show an example.
