Ängholmen

So the last days of my holiday and the weather is warm and calm winds. We tried a new spot and landed on the small island Ängholmen. Like many of the small island without people the forest has been untouched for almost a hundred years. I share some pictures of this beautiful spot in the world.

The history of this island links well back to present day and the Covid-19 pandemic. During 1800 this island was a cemetery for cholera victims. Cholera hit hard in periods during almost forty years. As an attempt to protect spreading victims were buried away from communities.

Photos

I wrote a post about how I like to take photos with my Mobile phone camera and I got a lot of likes from other bloggers that like photography. I have checked their blogs and tips with great joy. They have inspired me to look at the possible motives in a new way. So thank you https://wanderingambivert.com/, https://fotosbykarin.blog/ and everybody else. I hope you enjoy these pictures.

Clouds are amazing on a summers day and compact in the storm.

On the islands of the coast the wind is the most magnificent sculptor and since many of the islands are uninhabited and difficult to access there is very little human impact. Look at the pine to the left, it has found a place to grow in very little soil, stubbornly pushing its roots under the rock to find water. The tree to the bottom right is one of my favorites twisting so much it has grown over an old branch of the same tree. Even with many branches dead this tree is still alive standing on the west side of the island, a true survivor.

The right hand side picture is taken with the portrait mode on the phone and the left side is with normal setting.

One of the tips was to use the portrait mode when taking scenic pictures and I have experimented a bit with it. It is a bit more difficult as you need to stand close to the object in foreground but as you see in pictures above the colors gets deeper when taking a picture in a very bright summers day by the ocean. I will keep experimenting and learn more even if my family sighs every time I stop to take a picture laying down or bending over backwards to get that perfect angle.

Photo on the go!

Today it is easy to always bring your camera as one of the benefits is that you can use it to make phone calls, check your E-mails or check some fact on the web. I love this opportunities to take pictures of the nature around me, in fact all pictures you see on this site are my own taken with a mobile phone camera. Not the fanciest or most expensive one, but quite an ordinary model.

Just a sample of the things around us in nature.

My pictures have not been altered in any other way than cropping to get closer. I find it better to take the picture without zooming and then zoom in in a simple editor. Usually you manage better stability and avoid blurring. Instead of working with filters and other effects I try to just use natures own lighting. As I live close to the ocean this comes for free.

Using cropping and the natural light, background and foreground the create interest in the picture.

As you take your walks you will find the motives without looking for them carrying a heavy camera with a large objective, that is another type of photography and I leave that to others. Nature is my main focus as I spend lots of time in the outdoors but lately I have tried also take pictures of man made structures. So like and subscribe and I might share these with you in the future.
