Photo Club outing to Klagshamn

November 13, 2019 in Photography

One of the benefits of being in a photo club is the different outings we go on, to places you probably wouldn’t have either discovered and/or gone to on your own. This weekend I went to the small village called Klagshamn south of Malmö with a few of the other club members. One of us live there, so he provided a very enjoyable and interesting stream of facts about the place and its industrial history as a place where A LOT of limestone had been quarried and processed into quicklime.

Fall Colors...again...for the last time this year?

Now that November is here and Daylight Savings Time is over it’s definitely moving towards winter and within a few weeks’ time the frost will be here, so it’s probably a good idea to enjoy any sunlight that nature provides. That’s why I grabbed my camera and suggested to my constant photo partner (a.k.a. Dad) that we head out to shoot. He didn’t need much convincing, so we headed to the nearby Höje Å area, just outside of Lund, Sweden, where there are some footpaths along a slow moving creek that provided a few nice shots.

Industrial details in Copenhagen

June 07, 2017 in Photography

I did a day trip to the Copenhagen Photo Festival and while the actual exhibitions weren't exactly to my liking the location of the exhibitions at Photo City, the HQ of the festival provided a few interesting details. It was held in an old power station near some gasworks and the raw industrial feel in the somewhat gloomy rooms was definitely still there.

Örestad Concrete and Colors

Outside my window the snow is falling and the lawns below are slowly getting more and more covered in white, making for a very monotone landscape. The images in today's post (taken at the beginning of the month) are also quite monotone in nature, apart from some very bright color splashes here and there.

Never far from the sea

When you live in Skåne, Sweden like I do you're never really that far away from the ocean. I don't see it every day, but it is a nice feeling to know that it is only a short drive there to get the salty smell in your lungs and getting to see the vast expanse of water in front of you.

Five days, five black and white images

October 29, 2014 in Photography

I don't know how many photographers have been swept up in the whole Five Days, Five Black and White shots challenge thing on either Facebook or Google+, but I've just posted my fifth and final image and I figured I'd post them here as a whole (not that they are a collection or on a common theme).

The more I've done photography through the years the more I tend to do black and white photos (much to the chagrin of my dear mother who just doesn't "like" black and white photos ;-)), so it was a fairly easy process to find five images to post.

Well, actually it was more a process of eliminating shots that I wanted to include but couldn't. As usual my selection process involved having way too many photos to pick from and from there narrowing it down to the final five.

Now I am sure that's nothing unusual for photographers (or any artist making selections for public events, but I find it fascinating that at first I think I don't have any good shots to show, then I go through my stuff and pick the "maybe's" and the "potentials" and I usually end up with twice as many as I have room to show. From there it's a process of elimination, and finding the reasons why an image should either stay or go.

The five images I picked for the five day challenge turned out to be an interesting bunch. I've got two street photos, two details photos and one landscape photo and I think that fairly well reflects the sorts of photography that I tend to do. It wasn't a conscious choice to do this, but I like the way they are "collected" here.
