Advantages of the rain...

...is easy to find when photographing in the forest. The wet vegetation gives the landscape a natural "Velvia" look :) Here is a shot made this afternoon, and again it´s nothing fancy-schmancy.... Just mother nature.

Beautiful summernights

It has been raining all day, but suddenly the skies breaks up and the sun appears. Giving us a fantastic light. When this happens, just being present is enough. No fancy-schmancy editing and no blurry black and white. Just Mother Nature and her beauty. Sharp and in colour :) Enjoy!

Insects in flight

One of most irritating, yet most beautiful creatures of the summer: Insects :)

Having quite some experience over the past years in photographing birds in flight, catching the insects in flight have been todays challenge.

Faces of the forest

I do a lot of photography in the forest. The forest is MY favorite place, and it´s very special to me. Almost magic. It keeps so many secrets and unveils so many surprises... every time I am there. It is the only place I know where I can seek complete peace-of-mind one day, to find it exploding in action the next. It is the perfect home for extremely many species, many of them unfortunately found on various Red-Lists.

I bet very few of you know/remember the fact that 2011 is the international year of the forest. To honor this I will use this blog to present MY forest and the life within. Enjoy :)

PS1: The "species" does not include the empty cans, bags, broken glass and toilet paper YOU leave behind in nature. Please don´t leave them behind.  

PS2: Why is this blog suddenly written in English? Well... It turns out that I have english speaking friends actually checking in here from time to time, encouraging me to do it in English. So there you go.... :)

PS3: You should view this full size :)

Sommertid...

....er tid til overs som kan benyttes til fotografering. Og denne sommeren har jeg lyst til å fotografere. Denne øyenstikkeren, som sikkert heter Blå Libelle-et-eller-annet, fant jeg ved et lite tjern i Uppsala traktene. Ikke noe ekstraordinært, men passe sommerlig :)

Endelig sommer!

...og denne sommeren skal bli preget av avslappning og fotografering!

Glade sommerhilsener!
