Man in the mirror

On By saarimnerIn D7000, English, Photography4 Comments

This morning I looked through some pictures from this years summer. A summer that was truly amazing. One pic that I’ve forgot that I took during the summer was this self portrait in the front window of a boat on our way out in Stockholm’s Archipelago.

I had never really looked at this picture so close before but it struck me that it’s  almost like two pictures in one. It’s almost hard to see where the reflection starts and finish, and at the same time there are so sharp edges between those two. Do I sound weird? Maybe a little?!

Also like the look on the women’s faces inside the boat, staring at me with a look on their faces “What the xxxx is he doing?!”.

Hope that you can see a little of those things too. 🙂

Since there are quite a lot of details, the image looks best in full size.

I hope that you’ll have a great 3:rd Advent!

The 3 symptoms of killing our dreams

On By saarimnerIn D7000, English, Inspirational, Photography10 Comments

This is the second time I’ll make a post with a reference to Paulo Coelho. The writer that never got The Nobel Prize, but definitely should have got it by now.

The article is from Paulo Coelho’s blog and it’s about how we sometimes just let our dreams vanish instead of keep chasing them.

I hope you find it interesting…

Stockholm getting ready for Christmas

On By saarimnerIn D7000, English, Photography10 Comments

This time of year is always great! The evenings are really dark, and all people start to prepare for the upcoming Christmas. Last weekend I took some pictures of the town getting ready for that same event. Even though there is some parts of the city that’s not ready, there are already many parts that are. This will be part 1 of

“Stockholm getting ready for Christmas”.

A man with two dogs

On By saarimnerIn D7000, Day-to-day, English, Photography16 Comments

Yesterday I had a night out on the town and took some photographs for an album that I will post tomorrow “Stockholm getting ready for Christmas”. During the evening we came across this man buying flowers in an alley in Stockholm Old Town. I immediately thought that it looked like a scene from a movie. The atmosphere, the mans face impressions and the two dogs that looked like they’ve got a million dollar treat!

I took about 10 pictures and I actually think that the man with the two dogs came out the best…

This is my favourite out of the 10. It isn’t by far the most sharp or perfect out of them  but what I like with this picture is the atmosphere. I put the camera ISO really low (200), which is really low for evening time so the camera needed a longer shutter time, which let the image be a bit blurry due to handshaking, but I think that was better for keeping the atmosphere there. Don’t know if I succeeded in capturing the feeling but I thought I’ll share it for further commenting.

Hope you all have a happy weekend!

Short movie/time lapse – Sunrise in Piteå

On By saarimnerIn D7000, Nikon D5000, Photography6 Comments

As the readers of this blog already know, I’ve spent the last weekend in my home town, Piteå. A weekend that promised some, but delivered a lot. Met some old friends, spent time with my family, had a Palt-dinner (local course) and also had an amazing photo session on saturday.

Since we had cloudy weather on friday (and to be honest I also felt terrible due to my cold) I didn’t expect much for saturday, but what a day it turned out to be.

This is my first posting from that day.

Hope you enjoy!

Currently i’m in Pitea, in the northern part of Sweden and today was all about photo. Started off early and headed out to Glantan (a beach close to, in Sweden famous Pitea havsbad).

And what a morning! The colors and the light were all there. During the morning I made a time-lapse of the sun rising with my D7000 and took stills with the Olympus, D5000 and my iPhone. I also tried out my new Sigma 70-300/macro.

Winter is arriving

On By saarimnerIn D7000, English, Photography4 Comments

For the last few days I’ve been staying at home with a terrible cold (second in a month time – guess I’ll better start putting clothes on when I’m going out). Here in Sweden the winter is slowly arriving and in the northern part it’s already there.

On the “other side” of winter you have; spring.

This photo was taken during a short vacation in Spain with some friends. We had played golf in the morning and having lunch before our next round in the afternoon. Suddenly a bird landed on our table and starting eating bread, and since the table was sharp as a mirror I thought it could be a nice photo if I could grab the bird when it flew away.

So I put my camera on “speed-shooting”, set my focus on the table and waited just a few seconds. …And I got him!

Piteå

On By saarimnerIn D7000, Photography4 Comments

In a few weeks time I will visit my home town, Piteå for a family visit. These occasions are always a great get away from my daily business. In Piteå everything goes in half the pace and you take more time to think and reflect while you’re there.

This visit I will also do a photo project with a time lapse of Piteå river. Keep your fingers crossed for great weather.

This is a pic I took in Piteå during my summer holiday.

Hope you have a great finish of your weekend

Summernight

On By saarimnerIn D7000, Photography3 Comments

The last few days this blog has been almost all about iPhone and the new iOS5, and almost nothing about photography so I guess it’s time to go back to normal again.

Winter is soon here in Sweden and today we almost had 0 degrees celsius when I woke up. So I thought a picture from a few months ago would help to keep us warm.

This pic is from an amazing summer night in early August. The night was warm, the sky was blue and the sounds from people cheering and toasting was all there. In short, a perfect summer night.

Hope you’ll have a great day.

Word of the day

On By saarimnerIn D7000, Quotes2 Comments

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.

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!

Stockholm – Riddarholmen

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.

Sundbyberg, Bällsta River

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…

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.

Today we have a beautiful day here in Stockholm – Sweden, 20 degrees celsius and amazing blue skies. Even though the shiny weather, the signs of autumn are all there, the greatest season for nature photography.

Best wishes for the weekend!
