Month: May 2024
A favorite photographer: Alexey Titarenko
I first came across Titarenko, like many others I guess, when I read about his project “City of shadows”.
Service in Kumla church
Today I attended the service in the church in Kumla. It was, as it always is, a nice service.
Tamron SP 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di VC USD
Although I have the Nikon 18-200mm, I’ve been wanting something with more reach. And without spending a small fortune, a 70-300mm is about as good as it’s going to get.
Samyang 8mm f/3.5 fisheye
This is my first fisheye lens and it’s a lot of fun.
Water, lots of water
Last summer, there was first a drought, then came the rain, so much rain. Many areas close to where I live stood under water, farmers and others were badly affected. Today I visited some farmers with land still under water.
Nikon AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/1.8G
This is a very nice lens, which works both as a 60mm lens (35mm equivalent) and a true 1:1 macro lens.
Another day in Uppsala
We had a day at the office i Uppsala again today, so I brought the camera.
Cost of analog photography
I wrote a while back about the temptation of analog photography, and I struggle every day with the urge to get back into it. So far I’ve resisted, primarily because of the cost.
Nikon D3300
My latest purchase, and replacement for the D3000, is the D3300. I traded up primarily so that it matches better with my main camera, the D5500.
