Houses dressed in autumn colors

At last the beautiful autumn colors came to Sweden, if so for just some days.

I have gathered a couple of houses, small rural cottages in the in Sweden so common red color, surrounded by autumn leaves.

Very nice. That last shot is stunning!
I saw a lot of these cottages from the train from Stockholm the other day, but alas, had no colour flm. They look so nice!

    Yes, I went there for a weekend. It was the first time I spent more than a couple of hours in Stockholm, and it certainly won’t be the last. We talked about the red cottages on our way home; why are they all painted red, I wonder.

Beautiful photos! I can almost hear the leaves crunching under foot.

  Yes, they are still a bit crunchy. 🙂 But that will soon been gone too I’m afraid.
  Thank you very much Madelin!

Beautiful colours, and the homes have great character. I think one would have to be happy if one lived in a red house!

  They are quite charming, but a lot of work too… Really good to photograph though.
  Thank you very much Sue!

Now that is what I call Autumn. I really love the third and last images because of their composition and depth of field. Have a great weekend Marie!

  Yes, finally we got some nice colors here, at one point I didn’t think we would, it was just raining and raining, and the green-brownish leaves were just falling off. But at last the maples and beeches came around quite nice.
  Thank you very much James, and have a great weekend you too!

    Many thanks and having looked at your photos I do hope we see a drier Autumn here in the south of England. Hope the weekend weather is better for you..

    Thank you very much! Yes, they are really nice, lots of work with wooden houses though, but very very charming!
    I recognize that … Think it is due to stress, for me it is so in all cases.
    Take it easy, the weekend is almost here!
    Have a great weekend Steve, and thank you for your kind comment!

I was so enchanted by these photos that I found myself brought to tears. It is true I am a bit of a sap, but I must say the phenomenal beauty of these images is absolutely riveting. I am in awe. Well done! Oh how I pictured actually being there…what an experience. Thank you! Many good cheers to you,

Autumn Jade

    Not sure yet how I’ll scan the 6 x 6 negatives. My film scanner is a dedicated 35mm. I do have (another) flat bed scanner but I don’t think the quality will be that good. On a different note I’ve bought an enlarger and intend to start making my own darkroom prints very soon!

      About scanning, check this accessory, it makes true wonder, easy to use and no Newton rings, I use it all the time with my flatbed. http://shop.lomography.com/accessories/accessory-best-sellers/lomography-digitaliza-120
      Isn’t that strange, though absolutely great, I very recently bought an used enlarger too! It was a real catch, just couldn’t resist, so I’m hoping to get a darkroom in order soon too! Haven’t done that since 1995 or so. Feels great!

        Sorry for the late comment; I’ve been overloaded with work. Lovely images Marie and those autumn colours don’t need any velvia-risation do they? – I bet they were just as the Portra shows them. The tip about the digitaliza is great because I’m having big problems with flatness of my negs, but does it work for 6mm x 9mm do you know? – I suppose two 6 x 9s should fit into the length of three 6x6s.

        Thank you very much!
        Oh no, it’s Portra as is, and one is Fuji Pro 160, also unedited.
        About your negatives, I have no clue, sorry… Is that 110 film? “Digtaliza” is also in one smaller version for 35mm film, but I have no idea if it fits your negatives. Mail to Lomo and ask them, they brought the 110 film back, maybe they also have tips to help you with the scanning. They have great tipsters in their Magazine too. http://www.lomography.com
        Good luck! 🙂

        They also have 120 digitaliza, so it should work for 69

As always, great ones! Makes me consider to go out and shoot the colors with an ovecast sky. Well, as soon as the mix of rain and snow stops falling from the sky that is…

Say, do you use a UV filter for shooting film? I noticed on my last landscape shots quite a bit more haze than I remember being there when I took them and I wonder, if a UV filter would help with that?

  Thank you very much!
  I can’t give you a proper answer to that, sorry. I sometime use filter and sometime not. I am not entirely consistent with filters, sorry.
