A ride around the countryside
This is gonna be a short one… I recently got a used car, a giant old boxy Volvo 740. This thing is huge, I mean it’s just shy of a bus and my dog immediately took a liking to it. There’s space enough for him to frolic around in the back so he’s happy. We’ve never really been to the countryside around Kungsängen so we figured we’d go for a short drive. I didn’t really plan to do serious photography but I grabbed my camera, an 18-200mm lens and a flash just in case. Unfortunately there weren’t too many places along the road we could park and take a couple of pictures but in the end we found this little spot right by the road. The sunset was amazing and I’m definately gonna go out there again at some point. There are also a few riding schools with so many really lively, playful horses so just that is a shoot in itself. I ended up trying to make the best of the situation an used the car window to lay my lens on in the hope of getting a sharper picture – makes me wish I planned ahead and brought a tripod, or just kept it in the car in the first place. In the absence of a tripod I’ve seen people use piping insulation draped over a car window to lay their lenses on… apparenly works wonders.
Here are the remaining two sunset shots:
