Nowadays I participate in a photoclub. Every month we hand in a couple of pictures for the monthly competition. Some months have themes and this had ”sports”. Well, must say that it wasn´t easy. In the end, this is what I dug up deep in my archive. Please give me your opinion on everything. Katarina ps. check out shoes.. Canon 5D Mark iii, 24-105 mm Canon lens, editing in Lightroom
It took me a little longer than expected but here are my tips for a good TIME (with camera) in Lima using the TIME-list and adding my own tips. 1-4. Activities worth doing 1. Go to a fruitmarket. Close to where we lived in the area Los Olivos we had a market, I called it a fruit market but they sold both fruit, meat and fish. I went to this market several times and the photo possibilities are endless. So much fruit, so much color and so much fun. You get to the market in Los Olivos by first taking the Metropolitano (the fast transfer bus system with few lines in Lima) and then a cab or the local bus. The local bus system is special and you need to ask the locals about which number or bus to take. Besides the photo possibilities you also find an amazing range of fruit and vegetables. A lot of the fruit I was not familiar to before and not all of us know them. Fruits/vegetables like Maracuya …
Went for a walk in the forest today. The weather is all greyish and boring for being early October but I guess thats how life is like sometimes. Was invited to go have tacos and tequila at six by a friend, so I guess that is a plus for this greyish Saturday. That and the horse I met in the forest, what a beautiful one.

Isn´t it always extremely fun when you get some new photo equip delivered after hours and hours of surfing the net to find the perfect piece for you and your camera bag? For me the newest thing in the camerabag is a polarizing filter- at last! Wrote about ND – filters during the summer (something I definitively will go back online shopping for) but decided to go for a polarizing first. Not a moment to late! Will do a post about the differenced between not having a filter and having one later. But first! Enjoy my new equip and take a look at my first photo with the filter down below. What does this filter do? – It reduces reflections – It saves the color and contrast of the sky during sunnier days or other stuff in the image that tend to get overexposed or erased by excessive light. You can adjust the intensity of the filter through rotating the filter Katarina Canon 5D Mark iii, 24-105 mm Canon lens. The first photo I took with …
This morning I made my coworker pull over the car when passing this great lake. Just had to shoot some photos of the sunrise during this foggy September. It seems that I can´t get enough of the fog! This week I had my seminar of the ongoing photoproject I am doing. Discussed my project idea. Won´t share to much of my project yet since it still is evolving in different direction and I have ended up in some sort of creative mess that I have to sort out through reading and ”just do it” by taking more photos. Photography isn´t that easy for me, at the moment, but I guess that happens to all of us.. //Oh my God. I just realized that it is the 1st of October!// Katarina Canon 5D Mark iii, 24-105 mm Canon lens, edited in lightroom.
The proof that the level of alcohol and the ability to shoot photos with some sort of focus are directly related. Yes, we had fun. Katarina Canon 5D Mark iii, 24-105 mm Canon lens.
For two days I have been kind of off-line. That because I have been to a work conference in Lundsbrunn. Didn´t shoot so many photos but got some early autumn photos I want to share. Now I am recharging my and my camera batterias preparing for my friend Lindas 30 year party in the evening. Katarina Photo on me by Emma Söderberg, the rest is taken by me and all is taken with my Canon 5D Mark iii, 24-105 mm Canon lens.
I´ve been a blogger for a while now and a post about some of my favorites would be in place. Maybe you don´t notice but, yes I read a lot of blogs and post a lot of comments. I like some because you feel like my friends and I can publicly argue with you and I like some due to the fact that you take amazing photography’s or that I can learn something else from you. I will start with only a couple, no relevans in order. My idea is to create a list that I will update on a regular basis. Will put the list somewhere.. Writes about a little of everything M- R. Margarete Rose Stringer. She lives in Australia, a country I never visited, yet it feels like I know her. She have written a book I´m reading at the moment, the memoirs of her life.

Martin had been away for a while and when I got home I got a present. He bought be a book from Svenskt Tenn. You who doesn´t know the name might know the name Josef Frank or his fabulous fabric and print designs. Since I am a sucker for Swedish design I am at the moment floating around on clouds. Katarina Canon 5D Mark iii, Martin took the photo of me holding the Svensk Tenn brochure and the rest is mine. Edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.
My newest thing in my photobag, the selfiestick. How cool! From my friend Sofias instagram, me with my selfiestick on the ferry to Finland. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Fantasiresor | Reseblogg ⛵️ (@fantasiresor) What is it then? A selfie stick is basically what it says it is. It is a stick, with bluetooth and a trigger on where you can put your phone in the end of it and take photos of yourself on a longer distance. How odd. Well, you know the concept of Selfie don´t you? What was it now. Tons of tons of photos all over the web that people post of themselves. Found the definition (or the first one appearing on google) and it says ” selfie ˈsɛlfi/ noun informal a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website. ”occasional selfies are acceptable, but posting a new picture of yourself every day isn’t necessary.” ” The selfiestick allow you to take group selfies as well, which …

When in Borgå/Porvoo, one of the evenings where spend, for me and a little group, at a local bloggers house where she prepared dinner for us. She had such an amazing house that I could probably have spend hours and hours photographing it but here are at least some pics. The Menu as follows on the first photo: Starters, Fish from Pellinge; cold smoked salmon, raw spiced fish and smoked trout with caviar. Main course; Fishburgers Dessert: Blueberry pie with ice cream. The food was served on fantastic Arabia china, probably my favorite detail from the entire dinner. Love my Arabia. In the blogpost ”Middag” on the blog lillatildelshem.blogspot.se you can find the fantastic recipes from the dinner. Maybe Sofia (the blogger) should have a regular ”hemma hos” or ”dine with” event for travelers interested in the local cuisine. Who wouldn´t choose that over a local restaurant?! 😉 Katarina
This week I passed the line of one year as a blogger! Lets celebrate! Put together a bunch of photos from my first year. How much I have been doing, I kind of got surprised myself. Read or just look at the photos, it is your choice. My first post was written about Grythyttans Gästgiveri, and well, it only contained photos. My aim, was of course from the beginning that I should only develop my skills of journalism and I started with photos. September 2013 Over time I got better at photography, even though I still found it a bit tricky after a couple of months. This photo was taken at Björkskogsnäs naturreservat in november last year, and well, was probably a lucky shot. October- November 2013 In november I also did a interview with the fashion blogger Modemanifestet. Still remember that with a happy face. I got some very inspiring ideas for my future studies and also my blog. Heidi is a girl with a hands-on grip on environment and actually bought …
This week has been extremely foggy. This photo was taken yesterday when I was walking from the bus to work. Look at the churchtower, the fog lies so thick that the tower barely can be seen even though the photo is taken 9 o´clock in the morning. How odd and how amazing a day.

As you well know by now is that I traveled to the city of Borgå/Porvoo in Finland with a bunch of other bloggers. I thought that I would do a fair presentation of them (hopefully they think so to). Check out their blogs and the hashtag #travelhouseporvoo if you haven´t already to get an idea of the wonderful gang I just spend almost a full week in Borgå with. The photos are edited in lightroom and photoshop. Kpunkka. instagrammer This is Konsta, a instagrammer that among the bloggers participating in the trip probably are the one with the most followers. How about 110 K on insta? Well, if you have to have a letter on the number of followers, you know that you are important. The above photo was taken at the flee market in the morning Saturday Sept. 13th (yesterday), before heading for the archipelago. After the quick stop at the fleemarket in the morning where I also bought a rug, we headed for the archipelago. Before going on the boat, Konsta took this photo …
Today we went to the Artfactory in Borgå. Before we where suppose to send a photo that we wanted to turn into art. This is the photo I sended. The processes where fairly easy. We basically painted acrylic paint on a woodenboard and then a photo printed on normal a4 paper. Then you let it dry and just rub it of. Volia, you have a painting that is very cool. Mine is packed down now but will post it in another post. the artist that helped us and showed how to do it, was named Antti H. Raatikainen and is among the pictures wearing orange (last picture). You find the his page on www.anttiraatikainen.com Just got back from trying to do some northern light night shooting, didn´t go very well.

My body is aching but my soul is at peace. Already made new friends. This is why I love traveling. As told before I am on a “blog-trip” to Finland and to be exact Borgå/Porvoo. Today was the first day and we went started by visiting the Arabia factory in Helsinki. Well, it was the Arabia, Fiskars and Ittala place. I finally bought four Mumin Arabia mugs. I think my soul is at peace and that I don´t have to do anything more on the entire trip, I am now satisfied But waiting for us in Porvoo was a cake which I cannot remember the name of. It is described as the “semla” of Finland and is filled with bitter-almond. Very interesting, I would though have compared it to the Swedish “sockerkaka” rather than the semla. After having an entire cake and saying hello to everyone, (still trying to remember everybodies names), we left for a guided tour of old Porvoo on bikes. I though I came prepared to what was coming for me but …
