James Nachtwey breaks a story today

October 3rd, 2008

Does anyone have any idea of what this could be? Luckily I’m going to London today so I will probably already tonight visit the national theater and check this out.

Dusk

September 26th, 2008

I shot this when I drove home after work yesterday. I’m kind of having a HDR period now.

Gas station for boats

September 21st, 2008

This image is also shot today in the evening a few hour ago (it’s midnight now). A HDR that I tried to not get too HDR-ish. I’m not too happy about the leaning “horizon”. The image is in level, it’s just the way the landscape in the background is but it makes the image feel a bit unbalanced. However I composed the image it feelt like the image was leaning to the left. Apart from that I like it and it deserves to be posted here on the blog :-)

To the beach

September 21st, 2008

I shot this a few hours ago when I was down at the beach shooting in the sunset. Some crazy people were actually swimming too. I will post some more images from the evening soon.

Landscape

September 20th, 2008

I’m back! Did you miss me? :-) My inspiration has been really low lately. I don’t know why really but I guess the weather has something to do with it. Anyway, to get the inspiration going again I’m taking a one week vacation to London and Paris. I’m leaving in already two weeks! Really looking forward to that. So stay tuned for some images from London and Paris!

Video from the photo walk in Malmö

Christian Kullander recorded a nice video of the photo walk and as you can see I it was really wet!

Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk: Malmö, Sweden

August 24th, 2008

We had really bad weather. The rain poured down for the whole two hour walk. I had a almost one hour drive to get to the photo walk so I had a really hard time motivating myself to join when I woke up yesterday and read the weather report but I will never let the cruel weather gods in Sweden stop me so I finally decided to join anyway and did not regret it.

I covered myself in Gore-tex and used my 70-200 lens on a D3 (both weather sealed) and had a really good time walking around photographing in the rain. I stayed dry for the whole walk and with a weather sealed camera and lens I didn’t have to protect it from the rain. I had the lens hood on to protect the front lens from the rain. I actually didn’t have to get water of the lens a single time during the whole walk. I kept the camera pointing down when I didn’t shoot and I did not shoot to much upwards so the rain hit the front lens.

I think we were around 15 people in the group. 50 people were registered but considering the bad weather I’m pretty impressed that so many showed up. It was a well organised photo walk by our group leader Amy Archer!

Here are three of my shots from the walk.

Ted Talks: David Griffin

August 23rd, 2008

The photo director for National Geographics David Griffin talks here about how pictures are used to tell stories and no-one does that better than the photo journalists at National Geographics. Great images and really inspirational.

Copenhagen Pride

August 17th, 2008

I was in Copenhagen yesterday (It feels like I start every post with that line :-) ) photographing the Copenhagen Pride Parade. It was a lot of fun! I have some color images too that I will show you in the next post but here are a few in black and white. Every image is shot with a 85 mm f/1.4 lens on a Nikon D3.
