New York City, You Make Me Fuzzy

NYC You Make Me FuzzyBuy Print

I got a bit tired of this photo, the Manhattan skyline seen from Brooklyn, course I had seen it so many times before.
So I decided to put it through the FocalPoint 2 grinder and just defocus the whole thing, and this is what came out of it.

It’s a panorama made of 5 photos.

Tokyo by Night

Tokyo ViewBuy Print

This one is made from the top of the World Trade Center in Tokyo, where you have a great view of the city.
It’s made through a window and unfortunately the was some reflections from the window in the sky part of the photo, that I was able to remove, and that’s the reason for the photo being a bit to dark at the top to My liking’s, but I still like the rest of it and there for chose to post it here on the blog anyway.

When the Sun Says Good Night

On my way to work one day, I was crossing Knibbels bridge (a bridge in the middle of Copenhagen) at the same time as the sun was setting over the city, luckily I had my camera in my backpack.

I made a quick stop on the middle of the bridge, went over to the railing, where I sat down my camera to make 7 exposures for a HDR photo. But there where to many cars crossing the bridge, which made the bridge – and the camera – shake every time. So I decided to make some shoots hand-held instead.

I measured the light close to the sun – in spot mode of course – to get the right mood of the sunset. the photo is a stitch of 3 shoots with a 35mm lens. All post work is done in Photoshop and Lightroom.

Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historic Park

Walking around DC is really nice, there are some really cool areas if you take some time out to explorer the city, especially the George Town area is great place to spend some time.

I went to see Watergate – yearh I  know, it’s a real downer, nothing to see there, but I had to go – and after that I walked next to the river and end up in this hideous mall thing, I then walk up Thomas Jefferson st. to get to M st. on My way up there I came across Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historic Park, a canal and towpath trail that extends from Georgetown, D.C.  to Cumberland, Maryland, a distance of 184.5 miles (296.9 km), and which in the period of 1831 – 1924 was used to transport coal from the Allegheny Mountains to Washington D.C.
I decided to walk along the canal and explorer it for a while and then walk the rest of the way to M st. further down the path.

It’s a single RAW HDR photo, conceived from Miss Photomatrix and Mr. Photoshop.
