Fall colors and long exposure photography | GFX 100 II Medium format

🌿 In this episode I take you out on a photowalk to an oak tree pasture next to Lake Vänern, with the intent of doing black and white long exposure photography by the water, and also catching some autumn colors. What started out as a cold overcast day, turned out an amazing autumn evening.

I try to explain my thought process going out in the field to do some slow and intentional photography, and show examples of photos straight out of camera (SOOC) and edited.

🎯 WHO AM I?
I'm Jan Malmgren, a Swedish photographer, ecologist, and writer. This channel is my creative outlet where I share a lifetime of photography experience with like-minded people. For me, photography isn't just about gear or award-winning images - it's about being out in nature, experiencing beauty, and capturing those moments.
