This is an image I shot a couple of years ago. What caught my attention was the way the sun was reflected on to the windowless facade by the windows on the building behind me. I came to think of the image as I walked past the same building a few days ago.
We had freezing fog the other day, and as I got home last night the sky was clear and the trees where all frosted. So I stepped outside with my camera and made a couple of exposures. It was freezing cold, and waiting for the 1 minute 40 seconds exposure to finish I realised I should have put on more warm clothes. But the result was ok.
Appart from a few days now and then, frost has not dominated the first part of this winter season. It has been quite mild for this time of year, and the weather has reminded me of autumn rather than winter. But over the Holidays we had a bit of frost, and out and about with my camera I came across this pond with these ice patterns. And since then we have even had a little snow, so perhaps we will have a bit of winter after all.
2015 is coming to an end, and I just thought i would round off this years posts with this image. Happy New Year.
Downtown Oslo, next to the Oslo Opera House, you will find a group of high-rise buildings called the Barcode Project. Hailed as a good example of modern architecture by many, by others viewed as an obstacle between the city and the fjord. I have to admit that I am not very enthusiastic about these buildings. They are nice from far away, but far away from nice.
This is an image from a few months back. Sunshine and showers had been alternating throughout the day, and when I got home that afternoon I happened to look out the window and decided to get the camera out. After experimenting a bit with the exposure I decided on a longer exposure which transformed the raindrops to streaks of light running across the frame.
