Welcome to my blog!

My name is Mikael Johansson and I am an amateur photographer from Sweden. This is my photo blog.  I mainly present pictures of wildlife, especially birds. I started to photograph birds 2008 and the main purpose with this blog is to show some of the pictures, get criticism and develop my photographic skills.

I work a lot with sportfishing (travel agency and magazine). Now and then I will post pictures from some of my travels. Eventually I will collect them all in an archive.

Every new bird species I photograph can be found in the archive. Click on Birds in the menu above. There are lots of documentation pictures, but also som good ones.

Please leave a comment!

Enjoy your stay!

Mikael

Addicted to Mullets


It´s been over a month since I updated my blog. Sorry. I have been busy chasing mullets on the westcoast of Sweden. This mysterious fish has taken over my mind and I must admit that I´ve become addicted to these powerful creatures. I have not given up on the bird photography, but until I find out how to catch the biggest mullet – no blogging :)

A Buzzard and a Peregrine Falcon (and a wish for summer)


I live close to a nature photographers paradise. No doubt about it. The pics above was taken during a walk the other day and though I was mad about the grey weather I must admit – I love this town. A Buzzard and a Peregrine Falcon. Just like that. I am not proud of the quality of the pics, but this is a photo blog. Some days I succeed taking the pictures I long for. Some days I end up in a mist. But I can always try again, when the light is right. I have these birds in my backyard :) Until I get my shots I will keep on trying to hide and blend in. Just like these birds, in their daily search of food.

But I long for times like this…

Varberg Landscapes
During a couple of hours last Saturday the coast of Varberg, Sweden, looked like this. Winter sceneries at its best. Say no more. Nudge nudge!
