I really ain’t got the time to catch all those photos I want!

That’s also a summary of my working week. I am an electrician living in the western part of Sweden, with my own little company with hell of jobs and papers to fulfill. So, most pics comes to life on vacations and in summertime when the light is powerful and lasts long in the evenings in Scandinavia.

My interest for photography began on an UN duty in Cyprus 1976. I bought a Minolta SLR with a couple of lenses and began the journey. In the eighties there was first Olympus OM2 and later the classical Nikon FE2 that brought me the pictures. Unfortunately I didn’t get it with the lenses by meaning in quality, which I regarded some year ago scanning all the analogue photos. The digital world started 2003 with Canon S40, a compact with raw file ability, which I didn’t understand the meaning of…then. In 2006 I switched over to Nikon one more time and the D200 was my haul. But hunting in dark church rooms, trying to nail my son playing the trumpet, wasn’t very lucky. Image quality was just too bad. At the same time my daughter began teaming in disco dancing! Why didn’t she stay tuned with football playing as the others??? I tried my best but was in the end beaten when the arrangers took away the common lamp bulbs and brought in led lights to the disco arenas.

…and there was darkness…

The Nikon D800 was my rescue! With some prime lenses and the killer 70-200, 2,8-zoom, I was in the game again. Files are heavy, old computer got funeral, but this camera really works as a piece of action, even if the critics say something else. Cropping is a dream but desires good optics and raw file handling. Enough of the technique for now…

Exept for churches and dancehalls (quite opposing, isn’t it!), I spend a lot of time with my family at the lake Vänern, where there are lot exiting views for a trigger finger. That might be the good contrast to these photos I just uploaded.

Finally, anyone who wishes to use my images, may copy, distribute and display the work. They can make derivatives of the work only if they give the author or licensor the credit. What this means is that you can download a photo off of the internet and use it any way you want as long as you give credit to the photographer or owner of that image.

The above described rule always applies on non-commercial purposes. Others is forbidden on Flickr.

Have a good time in my galleries and sets!
