Near Flåklypa

in

This image if from the same area as one of my previous posts, "Rock face".  Different part of the stream, and I have used a 10 stop ND filter to blur the water.

The name Flåklypa has a special ring to it for most Norwegians my age. It is closely linked with the stop motion-animated feature film "Flåklypa Grand Prix", or as it is know in English, "Pinchcliffe Grand Prix" (see the Wikipedia article for more info) 

Rocks and Mirror Image

in

This is a site I have photographed from different angles several times over the past year. It is the building of the Department of Informatics at the University of Oslo. I like the building and the area surrounding it, and i have often found an image or two when I have been there with my camera. This time it was the contrast between the rocks in the pool and the mirror image of the building that caught my attention.

Long exposure

in

A couple of days ago a friend of mine and I visited a park downtown to do some photography. The light was kind of flat and the autumn colors where not quite as bright as we had hoped. I guess we need a night or two with frost first. So I decided to try to make an image of this artificial waterfall instead. It is a merge of two 30 second exposures, one with the plant in the foreground in focus, and one with the background in focus. A bit tricky to merge the images as there was a slight breeze moving the straws around during the exposures. 

The Black Diamond

in

Last Friday I was in Copenhagen for a one-day workshop with the danish architect and photographer Adam Mørk. The workshop was organized by ALPA and Photografica, and we got to try a range of ALPA cameras. The image here is taken with a 12STC hooked up to the FPS module, a Rodenstock lens (I forgot to make a note of which one, but I guess it was a 40mm focal length) and a PhaseOne IQ180 back. The low quality JPEG here does not convey the image quality, but trust me, the level of detail captured by this package is stunning.

Grand Entrance

in

I find this building quite fascinating. Someone has returned from his travels throughout Europe and has been inspired by grand buildings, perhaps in Paris or London, and have tried to mimic the grandeur of those buildings. This may look like masonry and plaster, but it is all wood.
