Snowflakes

·66 words·1 min

I have lately been testing macro photography of snow crystals. This has proven more complicated than I have imagined so I will have to try some more.

Snow Crystal

The photo here is actually 12 exposures that have been focus stacked in Photoshop and then imported to Lightroom for some post processing. When I have some more experience with this technique I might post a quick tutorial :)

Sagrada Familia

I was in Barcelona for VMworld last week and managed to squeeze in a short stop at the amazing Sagrada Familia. This building is crazy and wonderful all at the same time. The light in the afternoon is stunning to say the least.

Insects on lavender in Croatia

It is really fun to do macro fotography, even with some dated equipment. These photos were taken in the early afternoon and it was a bit too bright light. If I had waited a few hours the sun would be lower on the skies and the shine would be less bright and intense.

Long Exposure at Barmen island

Last night me and my wife took a walk down to the breakwater to take some midnight long exposure photo. The view is towards stadt seen from the north side of the island Barmen in Selje on the west coast of Norway. I used a polarizing filter to increase the colors and also reduce the light somewhat. We had about 30 seconds exposures and had the lens on maximum aperture. I love the way the ocean gets the smooth blur and the colors of the skies really pop out.
