› Current situation & photowalks in nature.
Goodmorning pumpkins! I hope you all are doing good this lovely Thursday 🙌🏻
im currently in thr bath, writing this. It’s freaking cold here in Sweden and due to my diabetes, my feelings in feets/toes aren’t the best so before I can put on my warm wool socks I need to warm them up.
Facebook page < link Plans for today? Well I went to the Healthcare clinic two days ago, met with a doctor who said I have no virus so I’m not in risk to get anyone else sick.. so I guess im going to school. WITH CAUTION OFCOURSE! Before school im gonna go buy more supplies of mouth mask/ facemasks. It’s starting to go low at home. And I’ll also sit in the way way back in the class.
What else? Well i got one of my packages with camera equipment! Woho. My tripod, few filters and also the hand holder (instead of the big to hang around your neck) but unfortunately that hand/wrist holder was bad because I tried it while sitting at the table and it “broke” so luckily the camera was mounted on to the screws.
I had a photowalk yesterday while the sun was out. Unfortunately it was harsh sunlight and i do not like that. But I managed to fix some pictures though.
not the best quality online though. I’ll upload more on my Instagram and Facebook page. Through my eyes and camera.
Instagram page < link Photography for me is my kind of relaxation. Unfortunately I went through some things the other day that made me decide to not take pictures in town and around buildings. I will tell you guys more about that later. It was a sad decision for me but I am still scared and haven’t been able to shake off what happened.

the other day I went out for a photowalk (again. But it was my first walk with the camera) and I stumbled across this beauty. An abandoned house. Ofcourse I had to explore it. Unfortunately I didn’t walk in to the house because I saw no signs and in Sweden we ask for permission and to be honest, I don’t know who owns the house so I cant contact and ask either.
All I know now of what I saw through the windows is that it had a lot of things. Books, papers etc.
I asked in our local Facebook group about information of this house and that’s where I found out it used to be a house with family living there but also an office for a big company that is still running today. For me that is so fascinating. I wonder how the life of the family was in that house. and the best part; it’s haunted!
I really want to expand my photography to not only do nature and landscape (which i will forever do because I love it). Expand to visit abandoned buildings, barns etc and document the history and the stories of locations. Kinda like an Urban Explorer but more.. softly and quiet you know.

› Photowalk with thoughts that needed to be clear.
While I was outside for a photo walk alone I had a chance to think of a lot of things. Such as photography thoughts, school, future etc.
Hi everyone! The sickness is still going strong but I felt i had to get out for a bit. I had a gazillion thoughts going on and I remembered that photography used to make me de-stress for a bit. So I grabbed my gear and went out. 3 hours. I got dressed really warm and I was sweating outside. I felt many times to remove jackets but I did not.
My experience about this area where I live (first time photography walk like this); it’s pretty here but it’s not really a lot of taking pictures here. Which is sad.
The thoughts that went on in my head was a lot as you can read above. Why do I really wanna do photography? is it for de-stress? do I have interest in it? etc etc . Yes I questioned myself but the conclusion of my thoughts; photography has always been an interest for me. I love it. And yes it is a de-stressing moment for me. Simple; I just simply love it.
So even thought I am sick I went outside. Ofcourse I didn’t go near people (I didn’t even see one when outside) and I was careful.
now im suffering after the walk because I was lying down on the ground, stood in weird positions, climbing etc just to get THE picture. Unfortunately the sharpness was really bad on most of the pictures but it’s fine. Now I’m suffering with a lot of pain in my back . Was it worth it? Yes! But now my cough and sneezing has escalated so it hurts even more.
●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● NEW FACEBOOK GROUP
I had to delete the photo group I made due to I can not make the group public from private but now with the new group – everyone can join without sending a request and wait for approval.
FIND THE FACEBOOK GROUP HERE < click.
Btw, iam truly sorry how bad the quality of the pictures are here on the blog. I do not know how to make it better.

› Golden hour, flu and a little bit of.. thoughts?
the flu has struck..yes the flu has strucked in my household. Well it has attacked me and my immune..
No school for me today because I had 39.8°C in fever last night (the night til today) so I didn’t want to risk anything. Which ducked because I need to be in school. I can not focus at home, doing math and calculations.
So i decided to get dressed really warm and went out for a walk. I know i know “But Emma, you are sick!” yes I know iam but being inside all the time makes me insane.
so i grabbed my camera stuff and went out in the nature and captured some hidden gems. Unfortunately the sharpness and focus is bad on the camera but it’s fine for now. I only use to so I can re-learn the settings etc.
I wish I was able to make a cute copyright though to add on my pictures
I try the “gallery” function here on WP, let’s see how that works.
●●●●●●●●●
Fever, coughs etc. Luckily no one was out where I was taking pictures so I didn’t risk to get someone else sick. Yay! I have been outside many times (when energy) when sick but avoid areas where people are ofcourse. And now when I have the camera I can go outside for a walk (slow walk) and take pictures. Learn the settings plus working on my passion again.
My passion in photography has always been landscape, nature and macro. I have also always been interested in capturing stories with pictures such as visit an old and abandoned house with things left or something like that.. Unfortunately we do not have those here where I live. But I get to do the best of the situations and focus on the other “niches”.
I hope you all are doing good ! i apologize for being so quiet lately.
