Last weekend I took a walk and went back to fetch my bicycle and shoot some images during the walk. The first one is shot with Yashica MC Zoom 35-70mm/3.5-4.5 (like the bokeh of this lens, however you must have good light to focus it right), the other one with S-M-C Takumar 55mm/1.8. Edited with GIMP, since I’m using Linux at the moment. Swedish summer is here, and vacations soon. My leg is starting to work again so I can’t wait to get out in nature and make more images!

Shows if these old things have this possibility. Ad did some experimenting at my last photowalk since I forgot some filters I had planned to use. It’s is winter and very cold here in Sweden. Lots, lots of snow. Sometime up to my waistline. But it was worth it. If not for the pictures for the experience. Here is a picture shot with Yashica MC Zoom 35-70 (if I remember correct) into the sun.

Big contrasts for the camera, snow and ice and shadows. Most of the days I work for the few hours we have daylight. If I’m lucky, I’ll get time to shoot some pictures at lunchbreak or in the weekend.

I was out in the sunny weather the other day and since landscapes in harsh light is so hard to do I concentrated on the leftovers people leave in the woods.
