Opening of the new joeriksson.com

Leave a comment

Today I announced the new joeriksson.com. The site is built on Squarespace’s tools and templates, which I have been trying out for a couple of days and really liked. It is very easy to use in my opinion, and you can usually get the results you want in a very short time.

So the new site will contain some of my photography work, music, a blog, some links to find my other photography sites and more. I have some ideas for some more content also, but more about that after I have had the time to think it through a bit more.

Greens Bar

A few days before Christmas last year, I was out walking with my camera. It started to snow quite a bit. Big snow flakes falling from the sky. The ground was still free from snow, as the snow flakes melted as soon as they hit the ground. I came by this bar which was open though it was still early day. Since you are not allowed to smoke inside in public places in Sweden, a bunch of people had gone outside in the snowy weather for a while to get a smoke. That’s when a captured this picture of them and the bar in the background.

The processing is made in both Color Efex and Silver Efex. Some adjustments are also made in Lightroom. It is taken with my FujiFilm XE-1 camera.

Ferry to Djurgården

Leave a comment

This picture was taken during a very cold day in Stockholm. The temperature drop was a bit sudden, and there was still no ice on the water. Probably because the water was so much warmer than the air, there was this smoke on the surface of the water. The boat is a ferry that travels from old town in Stockholm to Djurgården, where in summer time, there is among other things, a big amusement park.

I have used different plugins from Nik Software for the processing, together with Photoshop and Lightroom.

A picture from last year

This evening I was looking through some “old” pictures from late last year. One of those I found is shown in this post. It was taken with a camera that I since have sold. The Nikon Coolpix P7000.

Edited in Photoshop with plugins from Nik Software.

Bryan Adams at Konserthuset, Stockholm

Leave a comment

The other night I went to see Bryan Adams at Konserthuset in Stockholm. It was from his Bare Bones tour, where he’s mostly alone on stage with just an acoustic guitar. On some of the songs he is joined by a guy that plays the piano.

Bryan delivered a fantastic performance in my opinion. With just his guitar and voice he made it a magic evening. A lot of songs that I remember from the 80’s brought a feeling of nostalgia. I thought it was a great concert!
