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.

Lion in Venice

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

This is a picture I took in Venice this fall. Since Venice’s patron is St. Mark the Evangelist the city is virtually littered in statues of lions. This was an ageing stone lion protruding from a wall. As I walked past I had to take a few shots, and I’m pleased with the result.

Bleriot XI

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

To keep up with the aircraft theme I’m posting a picture I took of a Bleriot XI. This is the same kind of plane that the norwegian Tryggve Gran used when he became the first person to fly across the North Sea. I am quite satisfied with the dark colors of this picture, and the play between the dark colors and the sunlight.

NH90

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

This is the cockpit of a NH90 helicopter belonging to the Norwegian coastguard. I’m really happy with this picture, because I like things that fly (planes and helicopters and such). And I also really like how I composed this image, following “the rule of thirds” with the joystick lit up by the sun and everything else blurred and in the shade further back.

Finally

Saturday, January 19th, 2008

Yay, after months of thinking, procrastination, codewriting, and more procrastination I’m finally satisfied enough to start using the site. I’m mostly going to post my pictures here. This site is made mostly for me.
I made it because I like making websites, and because the web is a great place to display photographs for everyone to see.
