Just for the Colour Of It! (1)

Photography is a wonderful thing! Sometimes it can be utilised to document an event, or a newsworthy happening, it can bring home a message about a situation halfway around the world, or it can be used to convey emotion through an artistic rendition of a beautiful natural phenomenon, or something beautifully contrived. But sometimes it is just for fun, for our own benefit, simply because we like to take certain pictures that tickle our fancy. Sometimes I just take pictures for the colour of it! For fun! Just because it's what I like to do. :-)

A beautiful summers day in Mölle Sweden. The white blobs in the water are jelly fish.

Lomma, Sweden (4)

The interesting building on the right with the mottled lighting on it is the Lomma Biblioteket (Library).

A Rust Coloured Sun Rises in a Blue Sky!

...or a bit of rust on blue paint... either way it is one of those little details I always look for!
... eller lite rost på blå färg ... hursomhelst är det en av de små detaljer jag alltid leta efter!

More little details HERE and HERE.

Night Walk in Malmö 4

Looking down the canal towards the harbour, enduring a light sprinkling of rain at this point! ;-)

Sometimes photohraphy has less to do with documentary content and more to do with composition, shapes, texture, colour and imagination. I often like to look for art in everyday objects and scenes, which requires really looking and seeing beyond the obvious and useing the old imagination to find what the French call a certain "I don't know what". A lot of people just think I'm strange... this includes members of my own family! ;-)

More "strange" stuff here, here, here, here, and here.

Malmö Turning Torso Building (four)

The Nikkor 35mm f1.8G DX lens is a great mobile light weight solution that is super cheap as well. Being an AFS lens it focuses fast and silently. On a crop sensor camera it gives roughly the same field of view as a 50mm lens would give on an FX camera, and this is often referred to as a "normal" lens. There is a misconception that it gives the same field of view as the human eye, but that is not true, we can see somewhat wider than a 50mm lens. They are, however, relatively distortion free, just like our eyes, so this might be where the rumour originated.

Malmö Turning Torso Building (three)

In the top left hand corner you can see the sun reflected, and at this time of the day it was blinding! But with the circular polarising filter it was a simple matter to reduce the glare to what is now a simple highlight that enhances the photo instead of ruining it. CPL's are the only filters I ever use on a lens by the way... but perhaps that is a debate for another time! ;-)

The craziest building I've ever seen, I really like it!
- More coming over the next few days.

Harbour in Lomma, Sweden.

3 second exposure with camera propped firmly down onto a jetty while I am lying flat on my stomach.

I tore a strip off the skin of my little finger getting down on the old worn wood of the jetty, I console myself with the knowledge that at last I am suffering for my art! ;-)

Esrum Lake, Fredensborg, Denmark.

Ferries arriving - Helsingør Harbour

These ferries shuttle people, cars, buses and trucks back and forth all day long from Helsingborg in Sweden to Helsingør in Denmark, linking the two "Helsings". Normally you can see Helsingborg quite clearly from Helsingør harbour, but the mist is shrouding it almost completely in this shot. Just to the left of this picture (out of picture) is the castle that Hamlet was based in from Shakespeare's play.

The Fredensborg Palace in Denmark

The Danish Queens spring and autumn residence in Fredensborg, Denmark. Nice little place, no?

It's in the Details!

There is always something to photograph. Sometimes we just have to look a little closer.
