If you’re new to shooting in PASM-mode, you probably are interested in getting the right manual values for your shutter-speed, aperture and so on and at the same time learn how these things work together.
With this app you will get a great introduction to all of that and also get som handy tips for different conditions. The app usually costs $1 but is now free.
Börjar mer och mer upptäcka Tomas Tranströmer, årets Nobelpristagare i litteratur. Har tidigare år haft svårt för att uppskatta pristagarna som jag ofta upplevt som alltför pretentiösa; med Tomas Tranströmer är det tvärtom.
Läste det här citat av honom som jag tyckte passade bra med en bild jag tog i Milano i Januari i år.
“Den här kvinnan köper och köper saker för att kasta i gapet på tomrummen som smyger bakom henne.”
Kommer uppdatera med källhänvisningar senare idag.
So, after a great weekend a new week is here again. I’ll continue to try to bring some famous words for each day but I’ll guess it will be harder for each day to find good famous words. Do you have a favourite wording that you’d like to share together with one of my pictures (maybe you also have an idea what the picture should look like), don’t hesitate to send it to me.
Hope you have a great start on this week.
We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.

Did Apple just introduce their “light” model due to the fact that Steve Jobs just had days left? I don’t think that it’s impossible.
Apple is one of the Worlds best companies when it comes to marketing and PR and it wasn’t hard to predict that the sad news about Jobs would outstand the news around the new model. At the same time the new CEO really needs something to “deliver” to get him moving in his new role.
So… I wouldn’t be surprised if we’ll see the new iPhone around Christmas time (or before) when the sad news about Jobs have calmed down a little.
Just a thought…
I’m not sure whether or not I will be able to deliver this every week-day (especially since I’ll try to combine the words with my own pictures), but I’ll try.
Hope you’ll have a great day!

World Press Photo have gathered over 100.000 pictures and now sorted out 160 of them to a show in one of Stockholms Shopping Malls, Gallerian. Among those they have also picked some winners and I must say they are impressive!
After the jump you’ll find the best pictures in each class.
National Geography has put together what they belive to be the best picnic spots in the world. My personal favourite of the listed places… Haleakala National Park, Hawaii. What a sky! Which one is yours?
I’m not sure whether or not I will be able to deliver this every day (especially since I’ll try to combine the words with my own pictures), but I’ll try.
Hope you’ll have a great day!
For the last years I’ve been a true fan of Apple (as I might some of you already figured out…). I often even joking about my home as a live “Apple store”.
I’m really sad to receive the sad news about this inspiring man leaving us. A man with true visions and a clear sense of where we are going.
If you haven’t read the blog post, or seen the video in “one of the most inspirational speeches ever”, today is a good day to watch it.
Rest in peace, Steve Jobs!

I often go back to this article that I think, in it’s simplicity, is really good! Short, and precise tips for better pictures.

If you still haven’t seen Hans Roslings speeches about the world and where we are heading, you might think that this is interesting. It’s a bit long but watchable in bits.
As some of the readers of this blog have found out I’m using my iPhone quite heavily. While yesterdays news about the new iPhone 4S was a big disappointment, it will be interesting to see how the next iPhone’s camera will come out. And if you would like to see some examples already, you don’t have to wait.
I think it looks really promising!
I think we all have seen thousands of clips like this and I almost promised myself to not post things like this on my blog, hmmm but even I had to surrender to these guys! 🙂
Hope you have a great day!
Since today was the big launch day for what many of us thought to be iPhone 5, and we instead got the iPhone 4S where the main feature seems to be, besides better battery and faster processor, a better Camera with 8MP, I thought it might be a good idea to put up a pic with the current cam.
What do you think of the new iPhone? Disappointment or exactly what you were waiting for?

Well this is an invention that’s a little different. A big yellow ball to hide in when things get rough… Would you like to hide in one of those? It looks funny but maybe the idea isn’t so bad? What do you think?
I haven’t tried this myself but I hardly can’t wait to do it! The pictures are really stunning.
After clicking the link, you’ll fly off to inspirationfeed.com (the creator of the article), where you’ll find a really good article on how to achieve Infrared Photos. What really stunned me was the surreality at the same time as things also look natural. Can’t explain it any better, sorry 🙂
Hope you like this introduction to Infrared photography. There are som linkes in the article that also are really good. Have you tried something like this? Would really appreciate to hear/see what you learned.
Last Sunday I promised one of the readers of this blog that I would post another pic over Stockholm from the Södermälar-side.
Have a great tuesday!

Monday morning.The weekend has come to an end and you think it’s hard to get up for work. The weekend have been nice and you just can’t find the strength to get things moving.
Maybe you’re working in a warm cozy office where all material things are there and last thing you’ll think about is your safety. The main problem of the day is whether or not the coffee machine or the Xerox is working or not… and still you think it’s hard to bring the smile up.
If that is the case I think that you just need some perspective. One reader of my blog has done this amazing reportage of workers that would be a great inspiration…
Hope you enjoy it!
As I haven’t really introduced myself on this blog I thought that it might be time to show a little bit. So I start off in a safe way… 😉
This is a picture from outside my home in Sundbyberg, 7 km north of Stockholm City. The picture was taken in spring 2011 during an evening when the light was really special. The sky was totally blue with some small clouds hanging like drapes from the sky.
What I really enjoy with Sundbyberg is the distance to the city center in time, just 7 minutes by commuter train and still it’s so small and quite small-townish in a way. In many ways it sometimes feels even smaller than Piteå…

If you, like me are into downhill skiing and photo, you’ll love this 3-minute video! Absolutely amazing footage aswell as performance on the boards! Hope you enjoy it! (found through feber).
Enjoy!
This is one of my favourite views of Stockholm. Standing at Södermalmsstrand watching towards the city hall and Norrmälarstrand. This picture is from the summer.
