This weekend we had a snowstorm in Sweden, so I needed some poor photographers weather protection. So with a plastic bag and a rubber band wrapped around the lens I challenged the weather gods and took a photowalk with blowing winds and snow up to my waiste. The lens used was Yashica ML 50mm/2.
A walk with a manual lens on the hill. On the other side, a bit firther down, is the village where I live. It’s a beautiful place, but I must admit I’m getting tired of snow and long for spring flowers.
Another picture on the theme “warm and cold”. Shot last sunday (7 feb 2010) in Suttarboda on the hills above my home in Sweden. Not sure about the lens, but it must have been Asahi S-M-C Takumar 55mm/1.8 or Yashica ML 35mm/2.8. I love them both and the picture came out the way I wanted it.

This winter dusk will make the warm and cold part 2 in my series. The deep bue was partly accomplished by linear polarizer (the once we’re often told don’t work well on DSLRs).
Shot with Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 55mm/1.8 on Canon EOS 350D.
Water avens (Geum rivale) is a beautiful flower. Sadly I can’t remember which lens I used here, but I think the Yashinon-DX 50mm/1.7 is a very lightly candidate. It’s nice to digg through the archive sometimes, you find some wonderful pieces forgotten.
In a trip to Granbergsdal with friends I made the images of pidgins with the Asahi Super-Takumar 135mm/3.5. The black and white was converted in Photoshop and the little grain came from a layer with scanned T-Max 400 imported in photoshop and put on this digital image.

Thinking of selling my Super-Takumar 105mm/2.8, but I wanted to give it some photography-time in the woods first and shot this leg of ice the other day. The changing weather between cold and “warm” (well, around 0°C is warm) make some nice iceformations.

In the river nearby, down the hill the water goes but sometimes freezes in time. Caught with Yashica ML 50mm/2 and my Canon. This was before the real cold came, I want to get back there some day soon . now it’s bound to be more ice!
Swedish nature near my home a mild winter, but with some ice. This is Asahi Super-Takumar 135mm/3.5 version. There is a creek making it’s way down the hillside and a small waterfall I go to sometimes.
