A Festival Stroll — Tomas Nilsson Foto

Tomas Nilsson @tomasnilssonfoto.bsky.social · Sep 1

A late update with photos from just under a month ago when I took a walk at the Malmö Festival, a city wide event held first time 40 years ago. I had a great time spending a few hours of photowalking there. :-)

It’s been almost a month since I took these pictures at the annual Malmö Festival, but better late than never…right? ;-) I have been to almost every edition of this festival since it started 40 years ...

Busy market day! — Tomas Nilsson Foto

Tomas Nilsson @tomasnilssonfoto.bsky.social · Jul 23

One popular summer activity in this part of Sweden is local markets and town fairs...so of course I went to photograph at one of them recently. 🙂

Summer is market season in my part of the world and over the years I think I’ve been to almost all of them at one point. One blank spot in my market memory was the one in Sjöbo*, even though it probab...

This year's edition of the Pride Parade in Malmö, Sweden was a bit on the wet side, but the turnout was still much bigger than last year! :-)

At the start of July it was once again time for the Pride parade to make its way through the city of Malmö, and I was there to document the event. I definitely enjoy photographing at Pride, and to be ...

As a Swede I can absolutely relate to this! 😀

Get closer, find more colors! — Tomas Nilsson Foto

Once again I've been to a favorite photo spot of mine - the park at the Alnarp Agricultural University. This time I landed a few good close-ups! 🙂

One of the basic “rules” in photography that I’ve heard over and over in the 25 years or so since I started to explore photography with more than a casual holiday shooter’s interest is to “Get Closer,...

Tomas Nilsson @tomasnilssonfoto.bsky.social · Jun 23

Almost three weeks ago there was a huge car and motorcycle parade through my little south Sweden hometown.
This is an image heavy blogpost from the event. If you're a car person I think you'll enjoy some of the vehicles that drove past me during the parade! 🙂

There is an annual tradition in my small south Swedish hometown of a big motor festival right around June 6th (our national day), or at least a weekend close to that. This year that happened on June 7...

One of the nicer traditions in my photo club here in southernmost Sweden is that we close out the spring season with a gathering outdoors where we cook hot dogs and have a beer or two (non-alcoholic o...

Nerd Parade Time! — Tomas Nilsson Foto

Tomas Nilsson @tomasnilssonfoto.bsky.social · May 31

Last weekend it was time for the annual Nerd Parade in central Malmö, and as usual I was there to take a photo or three (or in my case well over 100 😉). I've since edited that down to a more tolerable amount and present them in this blogpost. :-)

One of the nice traditions I’ve enjoyed in the last decade or so (minus Covid years of course) has been to take photos at the local Nerd Parade, put on by the Sci-Fi Bookstore in Malmö, Sweden, to cel...

One of the annual events in my little south Swedish hometown is the Bonnamarknaden (literally meaning Farmers’ Market, although there’s not much related to farmers these days). I don’t go down there e...

The weather was warm and I needed a bit of a leg stretch...so off to the woods I went - with my camera of course! 😉
www.tomasnilssonfoto.com/blog/2025/3/...

For a few days it was un-seasonly warm and toasty around these parts of the world and sun worshippers came out in droves in parks in the city. I too felt the need to get some fresh air and move my leg...

The light is back! — Tomas Nilsson Foto

Tomas Nilsson @tomasnilssonfoto.bsky.social · Mar 7

I decided to take advantage of the sudden 15+ C temps and sunshine for a stroll in the woods. My usual woodland area at Skryllegården provided some vivid green mosses for my photography. :-)

I went on a little photowalk last Sunday with some friends and I'm happy to report that the light is back! 🙂

Last weekend it was time for some snow and ice at the beach.
#photoblog #sweden #mirrorlessphotography

When the sun shines on a cold winter morning (the thermometer was at -6 C or 21 F) it feels just right to pack oneself and the constant photo partner (a.k.a. Dad) into the car and head down to the coa...
