Mastering Exposure
A comment recently on Social Media about the camera measuring the light correctly lead me to write a little about how it actually works. And what doesn’t rely solely on the camera but on the photographer. Mastering Exposure: The Artistic Use of Light in Photography Exposure is one of the fundamental controls in photography, determining how light or dark an image will appear. While modern cameras…

Café girl - One Photo, One Story
In a series of stories named “One Photo, One Story” I will describe the picture and how it was done. Hopefully, this will inspire you when you are out taking photographs.

The intimacy of a Café is something special to…

15 years with an iconic camera
September 9th 2009 the Leica M9 was released and presented in New York. Only a few digital cameras stand the test of time and are still working and loved by their users. The Leica M9 is such a camera, but why? It is well-built like all Leicas are. But this is not why it is still used. Other cameras have overtaken with more advanced faster features, more pixels, better dynamic range, etc. It’s…

Leica M9 - again
My old Leica M9 was going downhill censor vice. It started corroding the sensor slowly being one of the very old models. As sensor replacement is complicated I began looking for a new M9. Why you may ask? Why not buy a new model with optimized dynamic range, long battery life, fast wake up, large fast memory cards, lots of megapixels and you could go on. Leica M9 with Summilux 50mm f1.4. Ready to…

Photographic themes
Photos tell much more than 1000 words. They mean more than an inscription on a gravestone. A graveyard in Tuscany we walked into on an earlier trip opened up a scenery I hadn’t seen before. Leica M9 with 50mm Summilux50mm f1.4 Photographic themes can be difficult to make up out of nothing. Sometimes you must stumble upon them and then take a series on a specific subject. This ended up as a…

What are you looking at?
I find my inspiration in people and structures. I am the kind of guy who can sit in an outdoor cafe and look at people for hours. Therefore I also find my passion in capturing people and their expression. It is often incorporated into a scenery of interest. That’s my drive. And it’s essential to find that fascination with a subject or a style to find the joy of photography. Forcing yourself to…

What are you looking at?
A book about how you find inspiration for your photography. 108 pages. 114 pictures. If you struggle to find something interesting to photograph, try putting the camera away. Instead, start thinking about what you are looking at when you are not taking pictures. When you walk around the city do you look at buildings and their architectural impact? Are you the one who sits in a cafe and loves to…
