- [Blue morning](https://www.photobymaren.com/blue-morning-2/) - This photo was actually taken after the blue hour, but with a 590nm filter on and after some postprocessing the result can still be like this...
- [In the woods](https://www.photobymaren.com/along-the-footpath/) - Here is a quick photo I took on my way to (or perhaps from) work with my phone. I like the vibrant green tones and that the forest is brighter further along the footpath.
- [On the shore](https://www.photobymaren.com/on-the-shore/) - This seems like a lifetime ago. In some ways I guess it was, because life was different then. Well, at least the view was rather nice...
- [Behind the clouds](https://www.photobymaren.com/behind-the-clouds/) - It seems something is building up behind the clouds. I'm not sure if there is a storm coming or if an alien invasion is about to hit us.
- [Pink and blue](https://www.photobymaren.com/pink-and-blue/) - I was on a little photo walk with my infrared converted camera and figured it would be nice with some pink trees in the middle of the street.
- [Like a walk on the beach](https://www.photobymaren.com/like-a-walk-on-the-beach/) - I can almost feel this picture in the soles of my feet. And it's a very nice feeling...
- [Morning by the lake](https://www.photobymaren.com/morning-by-the-lake-2/) - I like visiting this place before dawn, waiting for the sun to rise above the horizon. I have to get up quite early, but with this view it is so worth it!
- [Is it spring yet?](https://www.photobymaren.com/is-it-spring-yet/) - I'm guessing it will be another month or two, but then we will see the trees come back to life again. I can't wait! :)
- [The way forward is up](https://www.photobymaren.com/the-way-forward-is-up/) - Just a random shot on a photo walk in... Hm, was this in Stockholm? I'm not sure. It is in Sweden somewhere. At least I think so...
- [A quiet evening by the lake](https://www.photobymaren.com/a-quiet-evening-by-the-lake/) - This is not my first photo of the sunset on this spot. And I can pretty much guarantee that it won't be the last. A good time and place for the soul.
- [White as snow](https://www.photobymaren.com/white-as-snow/) - This is one of my early shots with my converted camera. This time I used a 720nm filter (and some post-processing) to turn the green leaves white as snow.
- [A pastel evening](https://www.photobymaren.com/a-pastel-evening/) - I have a few photos of the Uddevalla bridge. Here is another one, dressed in some pastel evening colors.

- [Reflection of a morning](https://www.photobymaren.com/reflection-of-a-morning-2/) - I was just back from a morning walk and saw this rather nice view. I took this photo with my iPhone 11 Pro, which I think did a pretty good job.
- [A rest in the sand](https://www.photobymaren.com/a-rest-in-the-sand/) - I saw this little crab having a rest in the sand. Even though I came pretty close, it was completely still, so I'm guessing it was its final rest.
- [Landscape in pastel](https://www.photobymaren.com/landscape-in-pastel/) - This is one of my first infrared exposures. Since I didn't have a converted camera yet, the exposure time needed to be quite long (30 sec).
- [Shadow on the beach](https://www.photobymaren.com/shadow-on-the-beach/) - Just a photo of a palm-tree on a beach in Thailand. Well, at least its shadow having a rest on the beach.

- [Up and down](https://www.photobymaren.com/up-and-down/) - Sometimes life is upside down and sometimes you don't know what is up and what is down. Here are two shots from an autumn morning, merged to a single photo.
- [Favorite moments](https://www.photobymaren.com/favorite-moments/) - To say I'm a morning person is almost an understatement. Moments like this are my favorites. The moments when the world wakes up to meet a new day.
- [A bird for breakfast](https://www.photobymaren.com/a-bird-for-breakfast/) - The title might suggest that I ate this winged animal for breakfast. That, in fact, I did not.
- [Turn the lights down](https://www.photobymaren.com/turn-the-lights-down/) - Who wants artificial light when the sun can give such lovely colors to the sky..? At this time the spotlights where turned off and backlit by the colorful sky.
- [Colorful morning](https://www.photobymaren.com/colorful-morning/) - This is a quick photo I took with my iPhone a few years back. I was out for a morning walk and saw this skyline beyond an open field.
- [Pink is the new green](https://www.photobymaren.com/pink-is-the-new-green/) - This tree actually had green leaves, but I captured this with a full-spectrum converted camera equipped with a 590nm filter.
- [After the rain](https://www.photobymaren.com/after-the-rain-2/) - I went out for a walk after the rain and found this little fellow. I guess it also wanted to get some fresh air and went for a walk...or a creep...or whatever..

- [Autumn reflection](https://www.photobymaren.com/autumn-reflection/) - I'm not sure if fall is an especially good season for reflection. Maybe it is.
- [Hunting Mushrooms](https://www.photobymaren.com/hunting-mushrooms/) - I am a really bad mushroom picker. Firstly, I hardly know which mushrooms are edible and secondly, I rather crawl around in the moss and take pictures of them.
- [Life on the beach](https://www.photobymaren.com/life-on-the-beach/) - Life on the beach can be tough and I'm not sure that this hut can withstand the forces of the weather. It was quite warm though, so it might possibly be enough.
- [To climb or not to climb](https://www.photobymaren.com/to-climb-or-not-to-climb/) - I wonder how animals think. Do they think in words or in pictures or perhaps in feelings..?
- [Pink pines](https://www.photobymaren.com/pink-pines/) - Playing around with my full spectrum converted camera and a 590nm filter. But I think I prefer original green color of the pines...
- [Warm my soul](https://www.photobymaren.com/warm-my-soul/) - I went out quite early to be ready when the sun began its rise above the horizon. Despite the cold, the color of the sky warmed my soul.
- [Bokehlicious](https://www.photobymaren.com/bokehlicious/) - It's old news that I like these kind of shots, so here's another one. Taken on a business trip to Stockholm.
- [Nasty mushroom](https://www.photobymaren.com/nasty-mushroom/) - This one is not very healthy at the best of times, but I thought I'd make it even a bit more nasty.
- [Pink morning](https://www.photobymaren.com/pink-morning/) - This photo was taken with a 720nm filter on the lens. To allow enough light in, the exposure time is 58 seconds.
- [Portrait of a cool guy](https://www.photobymaren.com/portrait-of-a-cool-guy/) - I just thought that this guy looked so cool. I love his hair. So cool! I hoped that he wouldn't see me taking his picture, but it seems he did...

- [Evening bokeh](https://www.photobymaren.com/evening-bokeh/) - I'm not sure why, but I kinda like these bokeh shots. Especially if there is some water to reflect the light in.
- [Sunset in the city](https://www.photobymaren.com/sunset-in-the-city/) - When I'm on a business trip i often bring my camera and try to get some time exploring the city. This was such a trip and I'm glad I had my Sony with me.
- [Swedish safari](https://www.photobymaren.com/swedish-safari/) - We met 3390 on our trip to the farm and we came pretty close. (We didn't pat it though...)

- [Morning on the balcony](https://www.photobymaren.com/morning-on-the-balcony/) - A lifetime ago I was in Sliema, Malta. I remember it was cold as heck in the room at the hotel. It was probably as cold on the balcony, but try to stop me.
- [More than a pinch](https://www.photobymaren.com/more-than-a-pinch/) - This is an old photo from Sri Lanka. These men were working hard to collect salt from the sea water. It's by far the largest amount of salt I've ever seen.
- [Put some color on](https://www.photobymaren.com/put-some-color-on/) - Just some flowers to put some color on an otherwise gray day...
- [In the frame](https://www.photobymaren.com/in-the-frame/) - Just taking pictures of people taking pictures of people at Årbystock Beer & Music Festival 2018...
- [Tears in the web](https://www.photobymaren.com/tears-in-the-web/) - I've heard that morning dew really is the tears of fairies. I wonder why they are crying. Maybe because dawn has arrived and the peace of night is over.
- [Details](https://www.photobymaren.com/details/) - I find there are so many interesting details on musical instruments. In this photo I play with the depth of field to focus on some of the details.
- [Embrace life](https://www.photobymaren.com/embrace-life/) - When I look at this photo that I took more than a decade ago, I still get the same feeling that I got back then. .
- [Colorize the world](https://www.photobymaren.com/colorize-the-world/) - What would life be without some colors? We need to colorize the world to be vibrant like this red phone booth.
- [Natural beauty](https://www.photobymaren.com/natural-beauty/) - When I still had my macro lens, I used to crawl around on the forest floor trying to capture the beauty of nature.
- [Snapshot of city life](https://www.photobymaren.com/snapshot-of-city-life/) - I was on my way to grab something to eat and took this quick photo just before crossing the street. The picture caught the feeling I had there and then.
- [Ghosts in the city](https://www.photobymaren.com/ghosts-in-the-city/) - It's true, then. There are ghosts. They are quite hard to spot and they are only visible at twilight. Some of them linger in the streets after sunset trying...
- [Colorful end of a good day](https://www.photobymaren.com/colorful-end-of-a-good-day/) - It was the end of a long (but fun) day in the capital. We had been on a photo walk all day and was quite tired, but when this sky turned up we couldn't stop.
- [Misty Mountain](https://www.photobymaren.com/misty-mountain/) - During our visit to Gardens by the Bay, we saw this spectacular greenhouse. To me it almost looks like a spaceship or something from a SciFi movie. Kinda cool!

- [What if](https://www.photobymaren.com/what-if/) - What if life was like a fairytale. One of the good ones, where 'Happily ever after' really did exist.
- [In the brook](https://www.photobymaren.com/in-the-brook/) - I often find myself crouching on the ground or in another somewhat strange position. This time I was halfway out in the little brook with my tripod.
- [Taxi!](https://www.photobymaren.com/taxi/) - I wasn't really looking for a taxi. I think... I just zoomed in on the sign.
- [Feeling a bit moody](https://www.photobymaren.com/feeling-a-bit-moody/) - Not a good day for taking a swim perhaps. But quite good for feeling a bit moody.
- [Flare in the tree](https://www.photobymaren.com/flare-in-the-tree/) - Just a quick snapshot from an evening walk. I kinda liked the way the sunlight flared in the treetop.
- [Longing for some colors](https://www.photobymaren.com/longing-for-some-colors/) - In the middle of winter I'm longing for some colors. At this time of year I'd prefer some spring colors, but today these autumn colors will have to do...

- [On the forest floor](https://www.photobymaren.com/on-the-forest-floor/) - When I still had my macro lens I apparently felt the need to lie down on the forest floor and take pictures of the autumn leaves from underneath.
- [Natural staircase](https://www.photobymaren.com/natural-staircase/) - I'm not sure which animal uses it, but I think this natural staircase is pretty cool. I don't think it could handle my weight otherwise I might have tried it myself...
- [Alone in the cold](https://www.photobymaren.com/alone-in-the-cold/) - Out for a walk in the neighborhood with my camera, I found some rosehip bushes. This fellow was alone on its stem and I felt a bit sorry for it.
- [There's light in the darkness](https://www.photobymaren.com/theres-light-in-the-darkness/) - In dark times it's hard to remember the bright moments of life. Let's light a candle to spread some light in the darkness and make our world a bit brighter.
- [Snapshot of a morning](https://www.photobymaren.com/snapshot-of-a-morning/) - Here is a quick snapshot through the window on a crazy morning. Well, the sky was a bit crazy at least. The rest of the morning was probably quite normal...
- [Portrait of a winter landscape](https://www.photobymaren.com/portrait-of-a-winter-landscape/) - Out for a quick walk in the winter neighborhood. It was a rather cloudy day, but thanks to the snow it was quite bright anyway.
- [Colorful seat](https://www.photobymaren.com/colorful-seat/) - I took this photo on the go through a little park a few years ago. It was actually a quite dull and gray day, but the leaves were colorful enough.
- [One of those blue days](https://www.photobymaren.com/one-of-those-blue-days/) - The water was almost perfectly still and the horizon disappeared in the mist far away. Not a sound. Just me and the blue day.
- [At the graveyard](https://www.photobymaren.com/at-the-graveyard/) - I think this photo turned out quite all right. It's got some kind of dramatic feel to it. It may depend on what mood you are in, of course.

- [Breaking through](https://www.photobymaren.com/breaking-through/) - In dark times when you're feeling blue, it's not always easy to remember that there is a sun behind the clouds waiting to break through and brighten your day.
- [The key to good music](https://www.photobymaren.com/the-key-to-good-music/) - What is the key to good music? Is there a single key or are there perhaps many? This looks like good start though...
- [Sunset in the sea](https://www.photobymaren.com/sunset-in-the-sea/) - I really have a soft spot for sunsets. So a daily evening stroll along this beach was a no-brainer for me.
- [Golden Towers](https://www.photobymaren.com/golden-towers/) - Celebrating the Christmas holiday in Kuala Lumpur was an illuminating experience. Literally speaking.
- [When life was good](https://www.photobymaren.com/when-life-was-good/) - It seems like a lifetime ago. Enjoying the sunset on Nai Yang beach. Feeling a warm breeze. Hearing the soft sound of the waves in the sand. Life was good then.
- [Sunrise behind the mountains](https://www.photobymaren.com/sunrise-behind-the-mountains/) - Sneaking out from the hotel room with my camera seems to be a recurring event for me. This morning was not an exception.
- [Reach for the ocean or the sky](https://www.photobymaren.com/reach-for-the-ocean-or-the-sky/) - It seems like this palm tree was starting out reaching for the ocean at the other end of the beach. Maybe it changed its mind after a while and went upwards.
- [Sunset on the beach](https://www.photobymaren.com/sunset-on-the-beach/) - It was the second day of the year and the sun was finally shining through the clouds. What better way to spend the evening than taking a stroll along the beach.
- [Backlit Towers](https://www.photobymaren.com/backlit-towers/) - This is the view from our hotel in Ao Nang. The sun had just started to give the clouds a rather nice tint when I stepped out on the balcony.
- [Late Night Swim](https://www.photobymaren.com/late-night-swim/) - When in Kuala Lumpur, it is hard to miss the KLCC Park. We spent quite a lot of time in the park; during both day and late evening.
- [Urban forest](https://www.photobymaren.com/urban-forest/) - This is what we first saw when we entered Gardens by the Bay. On the left you see Flower Dome and Cloud Forest and on the right is the Supertree Grove.

- [One of many](https://www.photobymaren.com/one-of-many/) - I have many photos of sunsets and quite a few of them were taken on Langkawi. Well, I like sunsets and they were really nice on Langkawi.
- [Panoramic view from the top](https://www.photobymaren.com/panoramic-view-from-the-top/) - I might have mentioned before that I'm not really a big fan of heights. But the panoramic view from the top makes it worth the risk.

- [Under the palm trees](https://www.photobymaren.com/under-the-palm-trees/) - Almost every evening on Langkawi, we walked along the beach under the palm trees watching the sun set in the sea. A rather nice way to spend the evening.

- [Together on the top](https://www.photobymaren.com/together-on-the-top/) - While cross-country skiing on the mountain I passed this couple. They seemed pretty weathered, but at least they had each other.
- [Sunset over the mountain](https://www.photobymaren.com/sunset-over-the-mountain/) - I have captured this view before, during summer. That time I was eaten alive by about two million mosquitoes. This time, however, I was alone on the mountain.

- [Behind the mountain](https://www.photobymaren.com/behind-the-mountain/) - The sunsets in Sälen are often quite nice. In winter, they also arrive quite early.
- [In the afternoon light](https://www.photobymaren.com/in-the-afternoon-light/) - Perhaps it wasn't a very good idea to bring the camera on the ski tour. Well, it was a good idea if the plan was to go on a photo tour.
