April 2011, Fair
And then there was a little party in town. I like the less crowded times, since there are more small gems to photograph then. I find it difficult to capture the moments in which the emotion happens so I practice that as much as I can. To be not a part of the photo (that happens when when people interact or ‘notice’ the photographer) I used a tele lens (70-200) that’s capable of producing shallow depths of field. That way I can isolate my subjects from the background. I’m pleased with the results, I think to manage to capture more than a image, what do you think of the photos?

Finally, I have something new to show you all, I hope you like them. My favourite is the beachbike picture. It is not a staged picture and the strange-ness of it appeals to me somehow. Just like the picture with the fallen bikes. The billboards says: ‘We are divorcing’, and two bikes fell each in an other direction; separated. I like these hidden surprises you would miss if you were merely looking instead of seeing. I think all of the pictures ware taken using the Nikon 18-70 kitlens. In my humble opinion this is one of the best ‘cheap’ short focal length zoom lenses around and it’s a bit underrated. It’s the ideal lens for walking around town.
December 2010, The last one of the year
I scraped all the pics of November and December together and put them here. There were only a few opportunities for me to go out and shoot unfortunately. Bad weather and lack of inspiration although I was struck by the chaos created by some snow for the railway company.
October 2010, Oh deer
In October I went to the dunes with a long tele and caught these deers with the camera. It was a cold and windy day, so there were a lot of crappy pictures due to lens shake. Maybe a monopod is just not good enough, but it’s the trade off between being able to go anywhere quick and stability.
September 2010, Fungi
It’s been a while, but there are new pictures. Yeah! These were made with a 105mm macro at full manual. I tried to perfect the ‘flashrooms’ I made in 2009 without adding an extra flash unit. I think it worked out fine!
