The last day with a bad internet connection (going to Vienna tomorrow and then back home Sunday), damn it’s been a tough one, almost gave up on it, but now I’m glad that I didn’t.
Looking forward to get back home and start posting on G+ and Facebook again, I couldn’t cope post on there as well.
I came by this tree line, just as the sun was about to set behind them. I enhanced the blue and orange colors in Lightroom, to get a bit more contrast between the two colors.
Post no. 900 on the blog….
Made an early morning in Battambang, Cambodia. I got a lot of attention while I was setting up for this photo, I think the people working at the gas station thought I was a little bit crazy, making photos here. But after a few minutes they got back to their jobs, and I could make this photo without been interrupted.
December last year I ordered one of Scott Jarvie photo from his SmugMug site, the shipping time was around 3 weeks (I live in Denmark, and My guess is that the print shop used is in the states) which was fine with me.
Well mid January I found a note from the post office saying that they had a package for me. off I went, but it was too late, the package had already been shipped back to sender.
It might have been My fault – finding the note a bit late – that I didn’t get the print.
I then contacted Smugmug Support Heroes, I told them what happened and asked them what I was suppose to do now. I was ready to pay the shipment cost again, because I kind of felt that it was My own fault that I missed it at the post office.
A few hours later I got a return email, saying that they would look into the matter.
And then a little later on I received an email saying that they would ship the print again without any extra cost for me, I just had to conform that the shipping address was correct.
I did and they ship the print again. I just received it a few days ago.
I’m happy to be a customer at Smugmug but I’m even happier that my customers (I’m selling prints from Smugmug as well) are customers there.
Thank you, Smugmug Support Heroes.
My car got stuck in the gutter, when I pulled over to make this photo, I mean they have the biggest and deepest gutters in the country side in Japan, at first I couldn’t really deal with the problem at hand, I had a photo to make.
Afterwards I tried to get the car free, but it was really stuck, so I had to get some help. I started walking further down the road and ended up at a little house, about 10 min. later. I knocked on the front door, and got to talk to a really old lady (later I found out that it was the grandma), who didn’t understand anything I said, luckily there where some younger people in the house as well, who did. After I had explained my situation, we jump into their car a drove back to mine.
They had a look, and saw that there was nothing they could do, so they called the Japanese triple A, who would be there in a couple of hours. These lovely people then invited me to join them for dinner while I was waiting. I gladly accepted and had a wonderful couple of hours in their company.
When the triple A guy called, we drove back to My car, got it pulled out. I thanked them for their kindness, we said goodbye and I drove on.
Photo was made on a short forest walk in Jutland last year, when I was visiting My girlfriends parents.
A quick photo I made, a day I was out testing and comparing video performances on different cameras and lenses.
I had been driving past this spot a few times, thinking that it would be an awesome place for a sunrise photo.
So one morning I got up very early and drove down here (1 hour drive), sat up My camera and waited for the sun to rise.
And what a sight, the whole valley was covered in fog, there where so much fog that I couldn’t even see the town down there.
I added a behind the action photo, for your enjoyment.
