Fika at Öhrmans Cafe
Yesterday it was time for fika at Öhrmans Cafe.
It was grey and rainy out by the jetties when I got there, and inside there was a bit of small talk about all sorts of things.
Looking back, I don’t have the faintest idea what we talked about.
Guy talk isn’t always that terribly interesting, and I don’t think we solved any major events either.

A damn cold
After fika I drove home.
I’ve been dragging around a damn cold for x number of weeks now, and the damned thing is that I never get my cancer injection Teclistamab.
We have now postponed it four times, and one can only hope that the M-protein doesn’t start showing up.

Six kilometres at Silos
Today I drove to the Silos car park and managed 6 kilometres, which I think is good of me.
The weather was nice, and just strolling along taking the odd picture with the Leica or my new Hubbo Foto app is quite fun.
The graffiti along the wall at the silos area became a few pictures with the Leica.

D-Day for Hubbo Foto
I have now caught up on most of what needed to be done for the firm and Hubbo Foto before the day I plan to release the app on the App Store.
The 10th of December is D-Day, and I have to admit it’s a bit exciting.
Will people buy it?
I have a few test users who are thrilled with it, and for me it’s so damn fun to hear.
That’s the kind of thing that makes you want to keep going.

Features I like
Features I like
There are some good features in the app.
The latest is a graduated filter in three steps, which makes the sky darker with each step.
I also like zone focus when shooting street.
There are three different distances.
You decide beforehand at what distance it should be sharp close up, and the other two are a bit further away.
Then you just walk and shoot with those distances, and you get perfect sharpness.
I also use the colour filters often.
If you have a setting you often come back to, you can save it, a bit like the profiles in the Leica M cameras or C1, C2 and C3.
And it doesn’t jump out of the profile the way the outrageously expensive Leica cameras do.
Here I got it right.
More tips and tricks
More tips and tricks
A tip if you want a darker sky is to use the yellow-green filter together with the graduated filter.
That’s how I took several of the pictures here, and the clouds come out really well.
The settings line is saved with every picture, so afterwards you can see which film, which filter and how much grain you used.
That’s the line I write under my pictures here on the blog.
It is also saved in video clips.
You see the picture in black and white already in the viewfinder, so you don’t have to guess how it will turn out.
When you use zone focus, the picture also shows what is sharp.
If you want to keep working on the pictures on the computer, you can save in RAW.
You can also film, and the video is saved the way you hold the phone when you start recording.
The app costs 149 kr when it comes out on the App Store on 10 December.
If you want to follow what I and others shoot with it, it’s on Instagram as hubbophoto.
