  • Infrared insect

    Infrared insect

    I was out for a short walk in the neighborhood exploring my newly bought full-spectrum converted camera. On my way back I saw this nice flower with its little guest. To my surprise the insect didn't move when I approached, but allowed me to take this photo.

  • Moody morning

    Moody morning

    I realize that the title "Moody morning" makes it sound as if I were in a bad mood. But that was not the case at all. My daughter and I were just visiting this beach to see if it would be a good place to enjoy the sunrise. The sky, however, looked quite moody...

  • Evening view

    Evening view

    After a long car trip it felt good to stand outside on the porch for a while enjoying the sunset over a winter landscape.

  • Time for a winter bath

    Time for a winter bath

    On my way home I passed this little frozen oasis. I almost considered taking a winter bath, but I hadn't brought my towel. Next time perhaps... :)

  • Sunset over the mountains

    Sunset over the mountains

    I have captured this view before, during summer. That time I was eaten alive by about two million mosquitoes. This time, however, I was alone on the mountain.

  • Together on the top

    Together on the top

    While cross-country skiing on the mountain I passed this couple. They seemed pretty weathered, but at least they had each other.

  • Alone in the afternoon light

    Alone in the afternoon light

    I was out walking in the snow enjoying the afternoon light, when I saw this tree backlit by the sunset. It was freezing cold, but I took off my warm gloves to capture a photo anyway. (Well, this picture is actually made up out of three photos using HDR technique.)

  • Behind the mountain

    Behind the mountain

    The sunsets in Sälen are often quite nice. In winter, they also arrive quite early. I took this photo at about half past three in the afternoon and the sun was already down behind the mountain.

  • In the afternoon light

    In the afternoon light

    Perhaps it wasn't a very good idea to bring the camera on the ski tour. Well, it was a good idea if the plan was to go on a photo tour. My plan, however, was to go cross-country skiing and exercise a bit. This afternoon I think I got more photos than training though.

  • Some morning drama

    Some morning drama

    As my wife drove me to the train station, we passed this field with a view of the morning sun under a dramatic cloudscape. Naturally we had to stop, so that I could run out on the field with my camera to capture some morning drama.

  • Keep cool!

    Keep cool!

    I'm quite new to cross-country skiing, so I am not sure. But I think this is a sign and I imagine that there is some kind of message on it that is intended for me. Being new to this, I found it quite difficult to read. Maybe it just said "It's winter, keep cool!" In that case, I got the message.

  • Infrared morning

    Infrared morning

    I spent the first hours of the day looking out over the water. My plan was to capture the sunrise over the lake. I also wanted to experiment a bit so I brought my converted camera as well. This is one of the photos I took with it.

  • Crazy and colorful

    Crazy and colorful

    I usually try not to get too crazy when editing my photos. I want the pictures to be (at least somewhat) realistic. That rule, however, goes out the window when I use my full-spectrum converted camera. Then I like it to be a little bit crazy and a lot colorful. Like this photo for example. It's shot in the early morning light after an hour or so of capturing the sunrise.

  • Evening walk

    Evening walk

    I titled this photo "Evening walk", but actually it's only afternoon. During winter in Sweden, the sun sets pretty early in the day. This day I was actually a bit nervous that it would go down too fast, so that I wouldn't find my way back. The snow was pretty deep and I wasn't really in the mood for wandering around in the snow in the dark.

  • End of a day in the snow

    End of a day in the snow

    The snow was about 50-60cm deep and it was not very easy to make a path through it. Needless to say, we were quite tired after a day full of playing and having fun in the snow under a bright blue sky. The sunset was rather enjoyable too.

  • Weight of winter

    Weight of winter

    The trees are sparse on the mountain. This one was one of the tallest close to the top, but it seemed to struggle a bit with the weight of winter. I almost felt a little sorry for it.

  • Hostile and beautiful

    Hostile and beautiful

    When zooming in on the frost from last night, I can't really decide if it looks intimidating and hostile, or fragile and beautiful. Perhaps it's both hostile and beautiful...

  • Pink between the tops

    Pink between the tops

    Due to climate changes, the trees are spreading higher and higher up on the mountain tops. It was difficult to find a clear view of the setting sun, but at least I saw some nice colors between the tops.

  • Winter tree in the sunset

    Winter tree in the sunset

    The depth of the snow varied from 30-60 cm, it was cold and windy and not very pleasant at all. The view was rather nice though and I saw this winter tree watching the sun set behind the moutain tops. So it was a quite nice experience anyway.

  • Blue winter

    Blue winter

    Finally we got to see a real winter landscape. And the light... Oh, I really do like this blue light in the sky. I took this photo with my iPhone 11 Pro and I think the phone did a pretty good job.

  • Pale day by the lake

    Pale day by the lake

    It was in the middle of summer. That much I know. But I don't remember where this photo was taken. It seems to be a rather pale day anyway and perhaps not worth remembering. Anyhow, I quite like the photo.

  • Late summer light

    Late summer light

    I captured this photo on my way to pick up the kids from school. Trying to see the neighborhood in a different light, I used my full-spectrum converted camera and a 720nm filter.

  • Colorful Pines

    Colorful Pines

    After having been enjoying the blue and golden hour and watching the sun rise above the horizon, I turned around to capture this scene. The pines were lit by the early morning sun and got a bit extra colorful thanks to the 590nm filter on my full-spectrum converted Sony a6000.

  • Time for reflection

    Time for reflection

    I was just arriving at the hotel, returning from my morning walk. It was still too early for the first bathers, so the water was almost completely still. It was enough to make a rather nice reflection of the morning sky at least. This is shot with an iPhone by the way.
