HK personal delivery!
Today it was like second Christmas! =)
Finally got my hands on the Nikon Nikkor AF-S 300mm f/4D IF-ED and a Nikon AF-S Teleconverter TC-14E II
Can't wait for some daylight to be able to really test the combo! Thanks Kirsi, Patrik and Mum for helping out and making this possible! =)
Focus seems spot on and it's sharp wide open!
Now, sleep....

One ring to flash them all!
Had a slight Internet mishap last week, was browsing the net after information about a ring flash and ended up on Amazon's web site.
I put the ring flash in the shopping basket and to really check if the shipping was free as they promised I pressed the "One-click" payment-button, still free shipping and when I clicked again I apparently bought the flash! =)
I was a bit tired and thought I would get another screen where I would have to make a final approval. Well, today the flash was delivered (the packet was outside of my apartment door!)
Thankfully it was relatively cheap, it was exactly the same as the more expensive flash I first saw on Cyberphoto.se and that initiated my search of info on it on the web.
It's a Marumi DRF 14 Macro Ring Flash for Nikon with full TTL functionality, also included was four adaptor rings for different lens diameters, the native diameter on the flash is 52mm. I would like to use this on my Tamron 180mm macro but I need a 72mm to 52mm step down ring. Bought one really cheap on eBay, remains to see it the ring will obscure the view too much or if it's usable.
The subject usually is in the middle of the shot anyway...
Few first test shots of stuff that was convenient to shoot.
As can be seen the flash not a full ring but I can live with that.
Guess this last one. :)
Slightly over 1000:- sek including shipping to Sweden is in my mind a fair price, I just hope it won't breake down at once!

4x4 Track Wehicle
On Sunday there was a meeting at Björnhyttan for the local 4x4 terrain club, a friend of mine had managed to get hold of a Bandvagn 206 made by Hägglunds, now a part of BAE System. This one is used in civil services.
A college picked me up in Sunnansjö, we got to the site a bit later than the true enthusiasts so there had already been some terrain driving done.
As can be seen...
The steering is done by hydraulics between the front and rear part of the vehicle.
BV206 is amphibious so some water or dirt is no problem at all. =)
There were of course regular 4x4 vehicles out on the track.
Some of them parked here.
Time to get a ride inside the BV206.
Trying to go uphill, a VERY steep part!
Some times even the best get stuck.
There was a large log that got stuck in the rear part of the vehicle.
The passengers look on when the log gets removed using a chainsaw.
The journey continues!
It's going slowly but it's still a bumpy ride despite the suspension in the tracks.
View out from the rear passenger wagon.
Terrängbil 11.
Out to another excursion.
Good thing it's a slim vehicle, not muck room between the trees some times!
Looking out of the side window.
I'm getting out before a large mud track.
Pushing through the mud!
The mud is pushed in front of the vehicle.
Looks like brown porridge! :)
Nice squishy sound as the mud flows back in to the tracks made by the BV206.
Managed to take a self portrait with the fisheye.
Glad to know we had a low center of gravity, it's was leaning in every direction now and then!
Terrängbil 13.
The light weight 4x4.
A nice day out in the forest, slightly less vehicles than last year let's hope there will be many more next year! :)

Recent random photos...
Some tone mapped HDR:s I made recently, I hope they don't look too "over cooked", trying to keep them fairly neutral but it's so easy to go overboard with the settings in Photomatix. =)
View from Lekomberga view spot.
Almost same spot but down at the lake.
Skuthamn by evening.
Playing with long time exposures and head lamp.
