Hur man gör en gif – Varma bilder från ett fält

När längtan blir för stor efter värme och sol beger sig många mot värmen. Min vän Annika har precis varit ett par dagar i Kambodja och är nu på väg till Thailand för att övervintra, min kusin med familj spenderar vintern och föräldreledigheten på Kanarieöarna och i facebookgruppen ”Vi som gillar att resa” postas mer eller mindre bara varma exotiska och drömmiga bilder från asien nu. Fantastiska blå oceaner, vidsträckta och magnifika retar oss  som lever i den kalla verkligheten Sverige. När jag kollade ut genom fönstret idag och möttes av ännu en grå vit hinna kände jag bara ”näe, nu får det vara nog”. Mer snö, mer kyla. Jag står inte ut! Men snabbt kastades jag tillbaka till verkligheten och då jag inte har någon varmare resa planerad scrollade jag genom mina bilder och fann några snapshots jag och Martin tog på ett fält på väg hem mot Småland i September. Tänkte att en liten varm gif kunde pigga upp här i brist på asiatiska stränder. Såhär är det, min varma gif. Jag på ett fält …

Shoot better travel photographs- editing with your iPhone – the apps

This post is a indept on editing tools when abroad- for my overall guide check out ”Shoot better travel photographs” which have short tips for editing in the end. I think we can agree that when abroad we are fighting the clock and don´t have much time during the day to edit so we have to take shortcuts to be able to enjoy our stay as much as possible even though we like to update our social media forums on a regular basis. I spend as much time editing my photos abroad as other do reading the newspaper. I do it when I am back at the hotel, when others sleep. Since I am as tired as my traveling partners the editing can only take around 10 minutes tops. When abroad I bring my computer, which make editing quick and easy. I import the photos into folders and then into Lightroom. Next step is to develop one photo and copy the same settings to the rest and then export the photos and upload them to my …

Shoot better travel photographs – early morning shooting

See my first guide ”Shoot better travel photographs” for the basics of both shooting photos and shooting better travel photographs, including basic tips, preparing going out shooting, settings and for editing when abroad. This post is a continuation of that post and won´t go into basics. When in Borgå, me and Konsta Punkka, an amazing 20 year old photographer went out taking photos. It was his travel concept, when going abroad, he is an early bird, getting out of bed before the sun rises to get the most amazing shots. When 5-6 o´clock early morning Why There are several advantages of getting up early. – The early morning light is surely the best light, I think you agree, especially in combination with fog and long shutterspeed. But there are also other advantages, – as in cities: no traffic at five o´clock in the morning – some animals are early morning persons as well so you probably get more lucky catching them on camera. – you get a head. If you shoot from 5 o´clock until aroun …

Shoot better travel photographs.

For a long time I have been wanting to write something about photos. My Canon 5D Mark iii is my life, as you may know and I rarely write a post on the blog where I don´t add some photos relevant to what I am writing about. I´ve been in Peru for a while and reflected a lot on how to shoot better travel pics and wan´t to share my finds in an easy and understandable guide. Lets call it Shoot better travel photographs. It is of course useable for other stuff as well. Since this is a guide on how to shot better photographs, I assume that you already know your manual settings on your camera and where to find them, since i only know Canon models I won´t be to much help on where to find the different settings in your camera. If this becomes a problem in this guide, look at this ground course on aperture (bländare), shutterspead (slutartid), ISO-value and white balance (vit balans). Or just Google. There are thousands of …
