After sleeping in the car for the night, I got up really early and headed for Trillium Lake, because I wanted a photo of Mt. Hood’s reflection in it.
And I thought to myself that if I go there early I’ll have it all for myself.

Well I was in for a surprise, first there where quiet a lot of people there, some fishing, another photographer and some just rowing around on the lake. Second was the fog, there where so much fog that I couldn’t even see the other side of the lake.

I was a bit sad, that it where all for nothing, but then I started making photos of the people in the boats, the guys standing on the lake shore fishing. and then the fog added something really cool and unique. And I got away with some awesome photos.

Thanks for some good company, buddy.

Camels for Sale

I happened to come by a live stock market place when I was visiting UAE, There where all kinds of live stock, but the main attraction were camels. I never see some many camels in one place ever in my life.

You could buy camels for racing, eating and all you could imagine. I asked a guy – who was checking out some of the camels – what to look for in a good camel for racing, I’m no expert but to me it sounded pretty much like the same thing you would be looking for in a racing horse, strong legs, good health and then there where something bout the neck that I didn’t get.

I didn’t buy a camel, just had a good time looking around and making a few photos.

The Shepherd

It took me a while to find the right look for this photo. It went from bright colors to black and white, and then back again. The I stopped working on it a week or so, got back to it and still couldn’t find the right look, I even asked my girlfriend what she thought – as far as I remember she liked the black and white version – but I still wasn’t happy.

But then one day I was sitting and fooling around with the photo in Nik’s Color Efex Pro 4, and bam! I hit a look that I liked, which is the one you see here.

It’s funny – and frustrating – how some photos just has a hard time getting to the right place.

Here are a few captures from an evening out, I had to Ørestaden (the new and very moden area of Copenhagen), with my good friend Tobias, about a year ago.
These were made from a building called “bjerget” (the Mountain) and both are made with my old Olympus OM-D E-M5 and the LUMIX G VARIO 100-300mm f4.0-5.6 lens, which I think is a pretty decent lens.

Making Way for the Light

I spend most of this Christmas at my girlfriends parents, in northern Jutland. And as I always do when I’m up there, I “steal” their car and go photo hunting.

This is a HDR that I made with my Olympus E-M1 and my beloved Samyang fisheye lens. Normally I would correct the lens distortion, but I really like it in this photo. It adds to the make way for the light theme.

When I returned from India – back in 2009 – I had a 24 hour transit in Istanbul, Turkey.

Which I actually didn’t mind, because I always wanted to see Istanbul, and this was a great opportunity to do so.
24 hours is far from enough to see this great city, and hopefully I’ll return some day.

Lady in the Sun

20150117_125413On my way to the studio yesterday, I made a stop at a bike repair shop, to get my bike fixed.

I spend the 20 min. it took them to fix my bike, making some photos out on the street. Luckily the sun was shining and made some nice light and dark areas down the street.

I only used my Olympus OM-D E-M1 with my new Olympus 60mm F2.8 Macro (not using it in macro mode), at the time. It’s actually a pretty cool street photography lens.

I post processed the photo in Lightroom and finalized it with a bit of Analog Efex Pro 2 magic.

The TSL Waterfall

TSL WaterfallBuy Print

I spend an extended week in a small town called Tourrettes sur Loup in France, in February 2010.

Right outside the town, I found this little waterfall, which I made a photo of, because back then I found it a bit interesting. Now almost five years later, I found the photo a bit dull.

So I decided to fool around with some textures. I had 3 brackets to play with, So I started out by making a HDR in Nik HDR Efex Pro 2. And then I imported all 4 photos into Photoshop, clean the falling water up, but masking in the brights exposure.
I also clean up a whole lot of garbage laying around the base of the waterfall.

The blur was added through the plugin Topaz Lens Effects – which I don’t use that often, prefer the ones from Nik – I was aiming for a old/plastic camera effect.

Once I was happy with the photo, I started to import textures, I went through a whole lot before I found something I was happy with.

So do I like the photo better now? Well I like it more now then without the textures that’s for sure, the textures and the “old camera” effect really ads something good. But I also have to admit that it’s not the best photo I made, but then again it’s not the worst either.

What do you think?

Waiting for the Meteor Shower

The sky was clear and we where suppose to have a meteor shower, here in Denmark. So me and my friend Tobias, went for a drive. We decided to go to a castle about an hour drive from where we live.

There where suppose to be around 50 shooting stars an hour that night, so we where a little exited. I don’t think the meteor shower ever showed. or at least not where we were. Yes there where a few more shooting stars then normal, but nowhere near 50 an hour.

But I still got some pretty cool photos of the castle. and in this photo you can spot the only shooting star I managed to capture. See the photo in full screen – by clicking it – and right next to the right tower, you can see a shooting star.

I didn’t quiet know what to expect from Tirol,. but man was I in for a surprise, it’s such a beautiful place, and a dream place for a landscape photographer like me.

Vienna is also an awesome place, but more on that in another post.

Two days after Christmas – depending where in the country you where at the time, Copenhagen got it a day or two earlier – we finally got some snow here. I was visiting my girlfriends parents in northern Jutland, for Christmas. We spent a few more days up there, and the 27th we got some snow. I quickly “booked” their car and got out to capture some winter scenes.

This photo is from the day after, when there still was a lot of snow around, today’s later it was all gone again.

On my last days in Beijing, the weather finally got better, I was of course up early – as I was on the not so good days as well – and went in to Jingshan Park, located across the road of the south gate of the Forbidden City. You have a awesome view of the Forbidden City from here. But this photo is made in the opposite direction, where you have a really cool view of Beijing.
