Utnäset

Archipelago northern lake Vättern.

Archipelago northern lake Vättern.

Not far from Tiveden, there is a lovely Nature reserve with the name of Utnäset. Without having a boat this a great possibility to get out and get in a grand experience of the most pristine and scenic part of northern Lake Vätterns island landscape.

I spent some hours there enjoying the amazing nature and beautiful summer weather. I even went swimming in 16 degrees Celsius (well, I fast dip).

Domsand by Lake Vättern

Domsand.

Last Sunday I had 15 minutes to go before celebration for my mother started, so I drove down to the beach / marina Domsand, to take a few photos. Lake Vättern is a large lake in comparison, number 6 in Europe, so for me I often get a feeling of sea when I visit this lake!

Already when I took this photo last week, I published a similar one, taken with my mobile: EyeEm @rune. On the mobile photo I put a filter (EyeEm) to change the light a little bit; affect also the white balance.

When you compare a mobile photo with a photo taken with a DSLR and quality lens, you can of course see some difference (note: click on the photo above to get a bigger version). The white balance can be a little strange, you lose quality as soon as you process the photo, and you do not get the a really crisp photo with a mobile. But many times a mobile phone is a enough for a photo you want to publish on the web with limited size, and foremost you can publish a mobile photo right away if you have Internet connection.

Good Times

Vätterstranden.

Nu känns det gott! Vid 16:30 tiden fick jag ont i magen, för då släppte den anspänning jag haft de senaste dagarna. Just då hade jag laddat upp sista uppgiften för kursen Fotografi – Visuell kommunikation, 7.5hp. Så nu är det “Good Times” för mig, precis som sångaren sjunger (gammalt klassiskt frikyrkouttryck), i detta fall begåvningen Richard Bona.

Till historien hör att jag borde slutfört kursen juni 2010! De sista dagarna har jag blivit överraskad av att flera personer nu också “tagit sig i kragen” för att några dagar innan absolut slutdatum, fredag 20 januari, slutföra kursen. Jag trodde jag var ensam där ute på PingPong, högskolans Intranät.

It’s Good Times! I have finished the University course Photography – Visual Communication!
