Boston Terrier in NYC

Monday, January 28th, 2008

This one I dug out of the treasure chest. It is one of the first pictures I ever took with a SLR camera. The camera was of the old non-digital kind, so I had to develop the film and everything. Great fun, but time consuming. I took this picture in NYC when I stayed there for a week in 2007. I think I was trying to find the The Norwegian seamen’s church, when I stumbled over this little Boston Terrier just sitting there. The light was right, so I took a few shots, then walked on. I don’t know why, but I really like this pic. I think it’s the old school charm, mixed with a cute dog, that does it.

I shot this one this fall, the same time as the other airplane pictures. It is one of my favourite airplane pics.
It was a real lucky shot. Though luck is usually a big part of it. I took several pics to increase the chance of getting a good one, but although you can do a lot to get a good picture, luck is the factor that decides it.

Hobo Reloaded

This is a photoshop edit of a picture I posted some days ago. I ‘m still not satisfied though, so I might give it another go later.

Icy Leaves

This is a picture I took just before xmas. We had a period of freezing cold weather, but with no snow, and everything was coated with ice crystals. I spotted this twig when I was walking the dog, and went back the next day with my camera. I didn’t feel particurlary bright standing there, taking pictures of a twig, but I like the result. I must admit I played with it a little in Lightroom to get the right contrast and brightness, but it made it all so much better.

Hobo in London

Monday, January 21st, 2008

I went to London this fall, and brought my camera, hoping to get to snap some pics. Unfortunately, the weather was really bad, and the light wasn’t good at all. But I did stumble upon this man sleeping in a doorway, and thought it was a pretty good motif. I like how it turned out, but the man may be a little hard to spot at first. I did fool around in photoshop to make him stand out a little more, but I should probably spend some more time on it. Not today though.
