Yet another test, where does it end up

One more test

Short test to see if this post ends up in the correct place. Will be deleted

I just want to tell people that this summer I’ve mostly experienced temperatures between 8-18 degrees, warmest has been 23-24 degrees. I prefer this much much MUCH more than the temperatures in southern Europe.

Traveling light: In 2025, I went to the UK (London, York, and Yorkshire in general) and when the trip first came up, I thought that I would bring my Z6 III with two or three lenses. But a week before leaving, I decided ”Nope, I’m just going to bring my Ricoh GR IIIx”. Since I’m not going back there anytime soon, I …

Photos of the week — 8-14 June: Here are two sketch photos for an idea I have, I'm not sure how I will set up this photo. See these two as test shots to see if my idea will work. I need to make a few more attempts this week. First idea Second idea I've also spent some lunches walking around work trying to find something but …

Photos of the week — 1-7 June: Photos were taken this week, but they were mostly for others. Our department had its graduation ceremony and I was asked to take a few photos for posting to LinkedIn etc. My instructions were to make it hard to identify individuals but show the ceremony. The room where the ceremony takes place isn't …

Photos of the week — 25-31 May: I was definitely in a B&W mood last week. I mainly walked around without a plan, snapping photos of anything in sight. The vast majority was deleted at once. As you can see I used a "hard B&W" look, I do like when black is actually black, it also works well in the middle of the day. Later …

Photos of the week — 18–24 May: The week started with a portrait session. There were 10–15 people who needed headshots of themselves. One that came out really well, is of a young boy. He got really surprised when the flash went off, and I managed to catch him with his eyes wide open and a very surprised expression. I made a print …

Photos of the week — 10-17 may: I'm happy to say that I've been out with a camera several times this week, and as usual it has been a mixture of different kinds of photos. The first photo is from work, my task here was to capture some photos from a small event involving mainly Ph.D. students. The events are usually quite boring …

Mundane forest photos?: Lately, I’ve been interested in "mundane photos" – at least that is what I call them. These are photos that are taken of everyday things, things that all of us see every day, but at the same time we don’t see them. It could be a wastebasket, a fork, a person walking along a street, a lawn mover, or …

Photos for different purposes: Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of "assignment photography", i.e., not photographing for myself, and it has been a learning experience — as usual. This type of photography, except for portrait sessions, usually means that someone wants me to document something. It can be sports, a visit by someone, …

Today's dessert: Busy hands are preparing today's dessert: fruit salad. It was served with vanilla ice cream. A very simple dessert, but still quite tasty. And, of course, you feel quite healthy because of the fruit 😋

Väntar på studenterna: Det är inte ofta detta bord står tomt, vanligtvis så brukar det sitta studenter här som sitter och jobbar med ... nånting. Detta är en av de smartaste sakerna en student kan göra för att förbättra sina studieresultat. Tyvärr så är det inte alla studenter som insett detta.

Winter at work: I took a quick afternoon walk around the university before sitting down in front of the computer again.

Photographing Ju-jutsu: A month ago, I got the question if I could come to IKSU and take a few photos during their competition "Norrländska Ju-jutsuligan", I think they said it was the 19th time. I've been a photographer at 2-4 previous occasions, but it was a few years back. Anyway, it was an excellent opportunity for …

Train to London: I should have written this for a long time ago, but life happened. Well, I travelled to the UK in Juli 2025. And as an experiment, I decided to take the train. Based on many, many previous experiences I expected all kinds of problems, but everything went very smoothly. Here are some snapshots of the …

Knowledge transfer: It looks like some kind of knowledge transfer is going on, I have no idea what is being said, but everybody looked engaged.

Saknar min kamera: Ick, jag har skickat in min GR IIIx för service och jag känner mig redan lite nervös över att inte ha någon liten kamera att ha fickan. Men så kom jag på att jag borde ha en gammal PowerShot Sxxx, jag kom inte ihåg om det var 90, 95 eller 100, liggande någonstans. Efter en stunds letande så hittade …

Länge sedan: Oj, det var länge sedan jag skrev nåt här. Men det har varit några rätt intensiva månader så jag har helt enkelt inte riktigt haft ork att göra något annat än att jobba. Några saker har hänt sedan i oktober, t.ex. så var jag och fotade mitt livs första Roller Derby i november - skam till sägandes så …

Fåglar: Detta var lite oväntat, jag var inte alls ute för att fota fåglar - jag har inte rätt utrustning för detta - utan jag bara hörde hur svanarna levde om. Och det hade ju varit dumt att inte prova att ta några bilder. Som tur var så hade jag många megapixlar i kameran jag använde så jag kunde beskära …

Miniskog: Det lite som att flyga runt med en drönare och fota, det ser ju faktiskt ut som en skog som man svävar över.

Första frosten: Igår var det dags för den första frosten för hösten, eller i alla fall den första som jag fotat i höst. Det är egentligen ganska fint ute i naturen, bra färger, friskt, ingen mygg och allmän lugn & ro. Synd bara att jag inte hinner med att vara ute mer.

Ännu en fotosession: Lördagen var skoj, ut i skogen för att fota barnbarnen. Som vanligt så hade de inga hämningar utan det blev en bra samling med foton av charmiga barn.

Förare: Jag har åkt samma väg till jobbet de sista 25 åren och det är då ganska naturligt att observera trafiken. Och jag tycker mig se en förändring i vilka som kör som galningar. Förr var det ofta taxibilarna som susade fram betydligt fortare än hastighetsbegränsningen plus att körstilen var … …

Nolia 2025 är en jättebesvikelse: Årets Nolia Mässa var en besvikelse, på väg in till mässan så sa jag till hustrun att jag skulle köpa något som inte var mat … för att uppfylla detta så var jag tvungen att köpa två stycken underlägg till tekoppen !! Det fanns inget annat av intresse. Uppriktigt sagt så tycker jag det varit ett …

I was wrong, Sean Tucker was right: Yesterday, I started to read Sean Tucker’s Parable 6 which talks about different personas we take on. I came to the sentence. Every London photographer knows Soho George, for example, and we all have shots of him somewhere in our back catalogue. – Ha, I’m not a real London photographer, but I was in …

A surprise: We got invited to spring graduation ceremony for new PhDs yesterday. To my surprise my teacher in statistics was there, it’s around 30-35 years ago since I took that course and last met her. She was invited to celebrate her “jubilee PhD”, in other words it was 50 years ago that she …

Music: A musical interlude from a university ceremony yesterday.

Into the light: 

Nice: I’m not saying that the village where I live looks like this all the time, but occasionally, it does … and it’s quite nice when it does.

Albus: Let’s continue my “photo posts” series with two portraits of Albus who is a German Shepard, which is pretty obvious to most people. Although big, he is a wonderful and very kind dog, who seems to be very fond of children … and cats … but the cats are not fond of him. …

Kime no kata: Jag insåg plötsligt att det är ganska sällan att jag lägger upp några av de bilder jag tar. De hamnar oftast på något annat konto, på nåt ställe där ingen hittar dem eller så laddar jag inte upp dem alls. Det vore nog bra om jag ändrade på detta, så jag börjar med en bild ur dem samling jag sitter …

Datavetenskap 30 år: Under året har Datavetenskap firat 30 år och den 4 december var det lite speciellt. Anställda och före detta anställda bjöds in till ett litet event på eftermiddagen följt av en kombinerad jul- och 30 år middag. Eftermiddagens event var att fyra personer berättade om sina erfarenheter från att ha …

Neglect is expensive: Sigh, just discovered a few things that’s going to cost me some money. I have a couple of flashes that I used to use a lot, this meant that I had a fair number of AA batteries. About 1.5 year ago I bought a Godox flash with a special battery (+ one extra battery) and I’ve been using that …

A glorious Instagram: I logged into Instagram and it was fantastic. I scrolled through photos uploaded by friends or photographers that I followed, there were no ads, no recommendations, nothing, just the photos I wanted to see. And yes, this actually happened. Let me explain, over time, Instagram has become less and …

Students who cheat: Sigh, here we go again. It’s time to look at what some students have done (a possible case of plagiarism), try to decide if I should make an official case of the whole thing and send it to the Disciplinary Board, or just tell them to avoid doing this again. Every so often I get the feeling …

Ledsen blir jag: Det är lite trist att knata runt i skogen, komma fram till en skogsväg och hitta en … f.d. husvagn. Jag förstår inte vitsen med att göra på det här viset.

Going wide: No, I’m not talking about my stomach … although it’s also widening … unfortunately … I’m talking about lenses. It appears that the older I get, the wider I go. When I bought my first SLR as a teenager, I considered a 135 mm a wide lens and preferred a 200 mm or 400 mm. When I …

Completely blown away: I’m a big tea drinker, so I was pretty happy when they bought one of these “fancy water boilers” at work. This makes it much quicker to prepare a cup of tea, and as you can see, I have a pretty big cup to fill. There is only one problem, to fill the cup I need to hold down the …

My new wide-angle lens: Yesterday I got my new wide-angle lens, new and new … it’s an old second-hand lens (14-24/2.8) from MPB, and it’s a giant piece of glass. Compared to my other lenses it’s “silly big”, I’m starting to get a bit worried if I can fit it in my rucksack!! Anyway, I …

Being an idiot: Every so often, I wonder if I need a larger working memory. A couple of days ago, we went on a short trip to visit family, since it was a short family trip, I decided not to bring any serious photo gear. Instead, I would just take the GR IIIx (almost always in my pocket) and the Lumix GM5 with the …

Older computer: This isn’t as much about photography as it’s about post-processing. Some time back, I discovered that Lightroom Classic on my desktop didn’t display all the options that the program has. When I looked closer, I discovered some small text that basically said, “your computer is …
