Minipod Jubilee

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 18:13 +0100

IMAGE INFORMATION An era has ended :) 20 years with the same Bang & Olufsen equipment came to an end, when I moved into my new apartment. It still worked fine but time had made even this Danish icon into a relic. I got rid of it at the local recycling center, throwing it into a dumpster. Not the best feeling I've ever had but it had to be - I had fallen in love with a younger (and more sexy) model :D... Enter a set of Scandyna Minipod Jubilees and a 'Ball 2.1' subwoofer. It's fed with smooth MP3 sounds from my PC. I'm hoping that this new Danish icon will stay with me for the next 20 years...

My neighbourhood

Sat, 20 Dec 2008 15:29 +0100

IMAGE INFORMATION This is my new neighbourhood as of October 2008 - looking out of my bedroom window (away from the street). I used a couple of Cokin filters (sepialight and a graduated ND8). I used some LucisArt and some Virtual Photographer. Nothing major, just felt like playing around with my gadgets... :)| BOOKMARK @ PHOTOBLOGS.ORG | RATE @ COOLPHOTOBLOGS.COM | RATE @ VFXY | EXIF DATA CAPTURE DATE: 20-12-2008 at 15:28 / 03:28 pm CAMERA: Canon EOS 30D LENS: EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM FOCAL LENGTH: 17mm (27mm equiv.)

Caroline Martin from Vimeo.com created this Pixel Viking art as part of her FREE ART give-away. I think she did a great job making me a real viking :)

Bubbles on a wine glass

Sat, 30 Aug 2008 22:51 +0100

IMAGE INFORMATION I've lately purchased a number of new lenses to use with my camcorder / 35mm adapter. This was the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM which is a fun lense for macro shots. It's Saturday evening and I'm relaxing in the dark in front of my PC with streaming TV (US Open - tennis) and a glass of white wine. I liked the bubbles on my glass and did a little abstract thingy... :) | BOOKMARK @ PHOTOBLOGS.ORG | RATE @ COOLPHOTOBLOGS.COM | RATE @ VFXY | EXIF DATA CAPTURE DATE: 30-08-2008 CAMERA: Canon EOS 30D LENS: EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM FOCAL LENGTH: 100mm (160mm equiv.)

Mols in July...

Holga 120CFN in action

Tue, 06 Nov 2007 22:28 +0100

IMAGE INFORMATION So far, I've only shot one roll of film on my Holga and this is some of the results. You might remember the tree, I did a digital version of that too. The right image is a double exposure, where I turned the Holga upside-down for the second exposure. I'll have to find some more uses for this camera. For the price of the camera, it's really good fun.| BOOKMARK @ PHOTOBLOGS.ORG | RATE @ COOLPHOTOBLOGS.COM | RATE @ VFXY | EXIF DATA CAPTURE DATE: 17-02-2007 CAMERA: Holga 120CFN (medium format)ISO: 400 FLASH: No Film: Fujicolor Professional 400H CROPPED: No TRIPOD OR HANDHELD: Handheld

Summer house panorama

Sat, 03 Nov 2007 16:07 +0100

IMAGE INFORMATION Here's another one from my brother's summer house taken back in August. It's a handheld panorama made of 6 vertical 17mm images stitched together using the AUTOSTITCH SOFTWARE. I put together a little 'before and after' page HERE. I used my Speedlite 580EX flash (with Lightsphere II diffuser) off-camera - triggered by my ST-E2 transmitter. The flash helped me light the room and also improved how the garden outside looked in the final image. My LucisArt plug-in was used to improve contrast. This image and the last one I posted, is used on my brother's summer house website. During the summer, a number of Danish and German families rent the house. I might post more images from the summer house next. I'm doing a little 'tour de photoblogs' in the coming days, so you'll all hear from me soon :)| BOOKMARK @ PHOTOBLOGS.ORG | RATE @ COOLPHOTOBLOGS.COM | RATE @ VFXY | EXIF DATA CAPTURE DATE: 25-08-2007 at 15:35 / 03:35 pm CAMERA: Canon EOS 30D LENS: EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM FOCAL LENGTH: 17mm (27mm equiv.)
