Summer has been great so far in Sweden. But right now it’s very warm and humid. Some cooling rain actually comes as a relief. I thought it was a good opportunity to try a different approach to exposure on my photos. I usually go for a light feeling so this felt like a pleasant change of pace.
I started my summer vacation by going on a road trip with Jon and Johan, two stand-up guys that I share my interest in photography with. We went to a place called Gäddede in Jämtland, Sweden. We spent our time fishing and exploring the amazing nature. It really was a proper getaway, and without any cellphone reception it took our minds of the day-to-day routines back home. Check out the awesome video that Johan made at the end of this post.

Hey. These are a great set of photos, tell a really nice story. Especially like the tones. Would love you know how you achieve the vintage matt effect!? Thanks, Leon

@Leaon: Thank you! The effect your referring to is created in Photoshop in this case. It can be done in a lot of different ways. More specifically I used a levels layer and pulled the two black markers towards the the whites. I’m not sure if that’s understandable, let me know otherwise :)
