  • Raindrops

    Raindrops

    Did I mention that it’s been raining rather a lot here recently? Yesterday was no exception. The river rose again and the fishing has been excellent, but I must say that I’m longing for a bit of sunshine.  

  • Sailing into the sunset

    I was lucky enough to be asked to take some pictures for the Canon partner kick off yesterday. The partners were crewing these 37 foot sailing boats and the racing was hard. I got the best deal though. I got to ride on a dinghy that did 50 knots. [twitter style=”horizontal” float=”left”] [fbshare type=”button”] [google_plusone…

    Autumn is definitely upon us. The days are getting shorter (I hate it) and the mornings are getting colder. With that comes the dew and mist that only seem to be really good at this time of year.  

  • Weird weather

    Weird weather

    Rainbow, sun, rain, dark clouds, thunder. We had it all in the space of 1/2 hour today. Made for some cool photos though:)

    It’s been raining here the last few days, and being outside isn’t fun. But hey, rain can leave drops on leaves right?  

  • Gutten med seljefløyten

    Gutten med seljefløyten

    I’ll be the first to admit that this isn’t the best or most outstanding picture I’ve taken, but the picture has historical significance. The painter Christian Skredsvig painted one of the most famous paintings in Norway, “Gutten med Seljefløyten” here. The stamp below shows the original.

    We were out for a walk in the woods today and came across a field of nettles where there were loads of butterflies. I’ll be the first to admit that the peacock butterfly isn’t the rarest, but it’s pretty. This weeks photofriday challenge (www.photofriday.com) is Spot.

    It’s been raining a lot here recently. The camera hasn’t really been out that much, but I’ve managed to get a few shots off. This weeks photofriday challenge is “Sharp Focus”

  • The Opera

    The Opera

    We were at the Opera in Oslo last weekend with my aunt and uncle from the UK. The Opera is a really well designed building and they’ve made sure that you can walk all over it and look at it from every angle. This week’s photofriday challenge is “building”.

  • 3 shady reflections

    In Drammen the other day, I came across a sphere by the riverbank that had a sort of “loudspeaker” look on one side. So there was a convex shape, a concave shape, and a more convex shape, all in the space of about 50cm. A shady day let the same building come throught 3 times.…

  • After the rain

    After the rain

    It’s been a strange few days. The mercury’s been hovering around the 24 degree mark, but it’s been absolutely chucking it down with rain. My 100mm macro f/2.8L really comes in to it’s own in these conditions.
