Porcelain jug

 I keep trying different ways to use my new studio lightning equipment. This time I knew what I wanted and to be honest it turned out pretty much as I had hoped. 

Christmas tree ball

 Been for a walk in the forest today and brought some Christmas decorations. Kind of like how this photo turned out. 

Saffron cookies

 Made some cookies today that I felt a need to photograph. 

Back to summer

 Found this photo in the archive and had to edit it a bit. A memory from this summer. 

Broken

 On my holiday this summer I visited a car graveyard not far from were I live. I have lots and lots of photos to edit from that visit and this morning I needed one with something broken in it for a competition. This is the result. It's definitely broken...

Is it Christmas soon?

 I really start to long for Christmas, bought this Christmas calendar with one parcel to open each of the four Advent Sundays. It consist with decorating details and is bought from Fyra årstider på Evedal. 

Pumpkin Season

 It's pumpkin season and I couldn't resist doing a still life with some autumn leaves and pumpkins. 

Autumn tree alley

 We have this tree alley outside my workplace that I've longing to take a nice photo of for a long time. This Sunday it finally happened. Looks so great with the autumn colors. 

Elk

 I live very near the forest with fields surrounding our house and yet I rarely see any elks. I know they are here because I can see the signs down at our pond that they visit there and drink. So imagine the joy when I here that there is an elk walking in a field very close to us and it's still there when I arrive. These animals are just incredible powerful and handsome when you get to see them so close and in there real habitat. 

Oak leaf

 I had a day off yesterday and on my walk I found these beautiful acorns, just had to take som photos with them. 

365 project all over again!

 I have started a mission! I did managed to get myself through the project 365 a couple of years ago. Since then I have learned so much more about taking photos and most of all how to edit photos that might not came out the way you had planed. So I have started to re-edit all of those photos taken during that year. Today I thought I would show you how much a different editing can do to a photo. 

This photo was from day 34 and it was called green moss, pretty accurate since it shows green moss. There is nothing wrong with the original day 34, but not a very interesting photo. So what I have done is to crop in another way, I have enhanced the texture and clarity on the actual moss not the surrounding tree. 

So what do you think? Is the original or the new edited version the better one?

Original day 34

New version of day 34

Red Currant Cake

 If you have picked red currants for a photo you also need to use them for something, so I made a red currant cake. And of course you need to take photos of that too.

Flowers (again..)

 Today I've been to a garden in my village where you could self-pick flowers, so this beautiful bouquet is picked by me, but arranged by Anna the owner of the garden. 

Zebra finch

 We went to an elk park the other day and outside of that facility there were an aviary with Budgies and Zebra finch. Took this portrait. 

Fox

 This fox seems to visit the fields just outside our house almost every evening. 

Swedish summer!

 We have been away on a mini vaccation. We visited a place called Stensjö By and I took this photo that for med is so much Swedish summer. The red houses, the blue sky and the hay that is hunged up fro drying. 

Dried flowers

 A couple of weeks ago me and my husband went to Huseby to see an exhibition called flowers and weeds with arrangements of dried flowers. This photo is taken at that exhibition. I edited it too look a little vintage. 

Baby Magpie

 Right outside our bedroom window a Magpie couple have their nest and the other day this little Magpie was sitting under the bush.

Rhubarb pie

Is there anything better than a pie made from fresh rhubarbs? Not many things in my opinion. 

Wood Anemones

 For me spring and autumn is the best photo seasons. Right now I love all the flowers and buds out in the nature. But I also love taking some of them in and make pretty still life photos of them. 

Grapes

 I'm still very much into still life photography and today I took some photos of green grapes. Hope you like it just as much as I do. 

At the train station

 I brought the camera when I went to pick up my son at the trainstation Good Friday. I do need to practice on taking photos of moving things, but I like this one. 

Macro Mondays - Rust

 Rust is something that I really like taking photos of, so I decided that I should join this weeks Macro Mondays with rust as the theme. 

Walnuts

 I'm still very into still life photography maybe because that doens't take as much energy as walking out to the woods and find nice things to take photos of. This time it's walnuts in a glass bowl that is the motive. 

Rabbit

I found this photo from April 2016 today and are really not sure why I haven't edited it before. I think it's a really good photo of a rabbit in our garden. 

Fotosöndag - Shrove Tuesday

In Sweden Shrove Tuesday is called Fettisdagen that could be translated into Fat Tuesday. And that is this weeks theme in Fotosöndag and who can resist a Semla.

Tea Time

 Been playing around a bit with still life photography again and will continue today. I kind of like this one with my new Mumincup. 

Nail Polish

 One of my favorite hobbies is painting my nails and I do like to combine that hobby with my photography. 

Valentines Day

 Happy Valentines Day to all of you! 

Macro Mondays - Vibrant Minimalism

 This weeks theme is fun and sounds simple, but minimalism aint always easy to achive. I think this turned out pretty good. 

Winter

 There is so much beautiful things to take photos of outdoors right now. I think this turned out a bit artistic. 

Tulip

 I've started to enjoy taking still life photos more and more and this one with the white tulip is one of my newest that I'm very happy with. 

Snow

 We did have snow for a few days, but it's all gone now. Got some nice photos before it melted away. 

Icicles

 What a wonderful weather it has been today. Unfortunally I'm still not totaly recovered from Covid-19, but I have managed to take a walk with my camera today. 

When I started editing this my intention was to make a colorful photo, but instead it turned out black and white and I love it. 

Some candy anyone?

 We got this very colorful candy at Christmas and I just knew I had to take some photos of it. I like this one a lot. 

Macro Mondays - Gift

 This weeks theme in Macro Mondays is gift. I had to think hard to come up with an idea of what kind of gift I could take a photo of. Most of the gifts I have recieved is to big for macro photo, but when I graduated last year I got a beautiful necklace from my mother that worked great for the theme. The necklace comes from Elk Market Metal.
