I’ve made my own little tilt-shift lens out of the front of a regular 50 mm lens and some bicycle inner-tube. I made this silhouette portrait with it, with Uppsala’s grand university library for the backdrop.

Hällingsåfallet is a waterfall in northern Jämtland, falling into a canyon, probably formed by the end of the last ice age. It is a fairly impressive sight.

Managed to get this shot of a healthy looking red fox out of the car window while driving around northern Jämtland yesterday.

I made this photograph by a lake in Jämtland, while waiting for a fish to bite. To make it I stacked two fast 50 mm lenses, one reversed. I’m not an expert, but I think the subject was a soldier which had gotten lost.

Animals — so much like us, yet so different. (They never act unnatural just because you bring out a camera). Who needs extraterrestrials when we still haven’t made first contact with our closest relatives? If you’re not getting it, ask a horse what they dreamt about last night.

Today I was driving north, to Jämtland. I will be staying for about a week, so expect some pictures from here.

Along the way I spotted this preserved classical excavator, posed in its natural environment.

This is the result of an attempt to make a photographic version of Millais’ Ophelia. I have more planned in this vein, so watch this space.

I went to the botanical garden with a friend you have seen before, who lives near it. The intention was to make some pictures with him together with the flowers, which resulted in this portrait. Some of you might want to point out that the pose makes no sense since sunflowers have no smell to speak of. That would be nitpicking.

Tomorrow I’m meant to do another, rather more ambitious, shoot in the same botanical garden, so be prepared.
