I’ve bought a 400 mm!
March 10th, 2009 Peter Korkala
Yesterday I recieved my new Tokina 400 mm! Yay! I’ve always wanted to have a good zoom lens! Although this one is without zoom (always 400 mm) I’m very glad to have it. To bad though that I haven’t tried it out yet – the weather is so bad outside (snowing heavily) and this lens is certainly not a very good one for indoor use… Keep your finger crossed for sunshine tomorrow! :)

Skåne
March 5th, 2009 Peter Korkala
The small harbour in Kåseberga, Skåne, at february 7th. Foggy and windy but no snow or ice.
The famous Ale’s Stones in Kåseberga.
The photos were shot with the 50 mm lense.
Today I bought a new (used) lense – a Tokina RMC 400 mm! I’m sure I’m going to love that one! I’m really looking forward to get it! :) :)

A January sunset in Sundet
January 9th, 2009 Peter Korkala
I’m a bit late with my Sky Watch Friday-post this week too, but I didn’t have the time to make the post yesterday. That was good though, because today I hade the chance to get this beautiful sunset captured on (digital) film.
Sundet is a tiny, tiny village between the tiny village Ställdalen and the large village Kopparberg. Sundet means The Strait in Swedish.
The first photo was taken to the east:
And the second photo is to the west:

Plans of today
January 6th, 2009 Peter Korkala
Salty roads
This is what a road in the winter should look like! I really hate the salt they’re spreading out on the roads as soon as they can. One of the really good things with the cold weather (below -6 C) is that the salt is useless, and we get this nice winter roads instead of the wet, ugly, salty ones.
A day off
Today it’s a bit warmer, around -8 C, so maybe it’s a good day for a trip somewhere? As this day is a holiday (January 6th, Epiphany), at least here in Sweden, I’m not at work today.
Work
Hmm… did I mention that I’m back at the brewery? Due to the recession I lost my job as a Diamond Core Driller (they’ve dismissed 49 out of 85 men), but luckily I could begin at the brewery (Kopparbergs Brewery) again, just two weeks later. I’ve been working as a supervisor at the filling lines at the brewery for six years before I started as a Core Driller.
Five weeks of education in Denmark
On Saturday I’m going to a five weeks education at Scandinavian School of Brewing (Bryggerhøjskolen) in Copenhagen, Denmark. It will be a tough challenge, but also a lot of fun. I’m going to live in Svedala, Skåne and take the train over the Öresund Bridge, every day. I hope there will be time for some photographing during the five weeks stay there!

Monday morning, it’s still snowing
December 8th, 2008 Peter Korkala
It’s been snowing on and off this morning, but as I write this the temperature is climbing towards zero.
One better enjoy this while it lasts:
It’s snowing quite heavily in all the photos – I stood under an umbrella while taking them! It must have been quite a sight for the people passing by! :)

It’s been snowing since Friday afternoon… Today I started my day shovelling snow. We’ve recieved at least 20 cm (8″). It looks like a cristmas card wherever you look! Amazing!

It’s snowing
December 6th, 2008 Peter Korkala
It’s been snowing since yesterday evening, and it’s sooo beautiful outside! But as it’s still snowing I don’t want to go out with the camera – I don’t want it covered with snow…
Here are two photos from my bedroom window:

Gray snow clouds – Sky Watch Friday
December 4th, 2008 Peter Korkala
This is what it looks like here today. No blue sky in sight for miles… Not a very good photo for SWF, but I love the snow covered trees!
Update: The photo is not in B/W, it’s in full color…
