My journey through photography

  • An amateurs attempts at photography in real life.

Black and white line drawing of two heraldic birds with wings spread, holding a circle in their claws, and a spear between them.

It all began back in my early teens. Photo lessons in school, and how to process film.

This however is only what has been going on since 2020. Where I picked up on photography again, after being away from it since the early ´90.

It is for now, strictly a hobby, which help clear the head!

The website is only to show what I have been up to over these past few years.

Its primarily motorcycles, motorcycles in nature… nature, and rc-cars!

Cameras and lenses in use is, Canon EOS RP and EOS 90D with a mix of wide angle and telezoom. For landscape and travel on my bikes, I have been using the EOS RP with a EF16-35 L F2.8 II and EF70-200 F4 L IS . For shooting RC-cars I use the 90D and mostly an EF-S 18-55 F3.5-5.6 IS.

The “new” lens in the collection, is a Canon EF 24-105 F4 L IS II. Which, will be my travel lens from now on. Saves me some space in the backpack while on the bikes. 1 to replace 2!

I Like the motive an RC-car makes.

FOCUS STACKING!

Have been struggling with this concept. Mostly because I´m not an ace with photoshop. This is, the first time, it has provided a result. Where I can say, that I get it!

Besides the object being to close to the camera. Minimum focus distance….. have to remember that! It worked out. And I had some learning out of this.

F4.5, 1/10sec, ISO1600, 6 pictures stacked.

Attempt number 2!

Attempt 2 of Focus Stacking. 8 pictures stacked into 1.

Again, tried to get the entire object in focus, from front to rear. Would a picture or 2 more have done the trick! Definitely yes! But hey! it worked.

A learning process……..

The wilderness of Sweden and Norwegian nature has always fascinated me! Motorcycle trips and vacations mostly go that direction. The further north the better…..

And! They provide way better motives there.

Nature, especially on the motorcycle is a sanctuary!
