Well, if it was dry perhaps the mosquitos were less of a distraction? And I like the trees; keep them coming!It's shot in Vietas in northern Sweden, a high altitude pine forest. As the forest is not touched by man all dead wood is left, and in the dry conditions it decays very slowly leaving a large amount.
Yes, actually it was ~0 mosquitos, which is very unusual this time of year, even there. This weekend was midsummer's eve which is a big thing here in Sweden, so I fled to the mountains . I thought it would be packed at the hotel but actually we were the only guests. They had a midsummer's special last year, but then it was snowing so it was a disaster, so they had a bit lower profile this year, and then the weather was fantastic. Well, much too good for photography actually with sunny clear skies.Well, if it was dry perhaps the mosquitos were less of a distraction? And I like the trees; keep them coming!
I find this light very appealing. It makes me want to take a walk there. And the football is an endearing mystery.Although overcast is my preferred state, I don't always avoid the sun. Below is another one from the same forest. I was mighty surprised to find a football in there. A few kilometers into the forest, no trail nearby. Fortunately this was the only trash I found. Shot with the SK35XL, which is my widest lens.

Anders, very nice indeed.I've become a poster boy for Linhof , here's a few images from my "Geometric Chaos" project (a work in progress):

All shot on the Linhof Techno and Schneider-Kreuznach Apo-Digitar lenses, with the digital backs Leaf Aptus 75 and later/current Hasselblad H4D-50. I've used custom DCamProf color profiles for both backs to equalize the color which makes it easier to maintain a consistent look despite different backs.
