Reflections from the Canal in Nyhavn, Copenhagen



Summer or Spring

The calendar says that it might just be Spring, the weather outside tells me that it actually is Summer. Global Warming ladies and gentlemen.

Black & White

This one is from last year. He had a hard time climbing the steps but seemed very patient and was actually busy too, shoelaces needed attention, cigaret to be lit too. The climb took a long time but apparently he had all the time in the world.
I don't do much converting from colour to black & white, but I always thought this one would turn out ok in b&w, just never got around to it, until now that is.

Friluftsmuseet has Opened for the Season.

Spring is here really early this year and last week we went to Friluftsmuseet that opened for the Summer. A wonderful place to stroll and take photographs. The weather was beautiful and a lot of children looking for clues in a game the museum had planned for them - it was all about finding Easter eggs.
I used this shot for a challenge on dpc, the subject was Anachronism. That fire extinguisher sticks out like a sore thumb.

Hard to Focus

It is terribly difficult to focus on a spiderweb. There was almost no wind, but it moved all the time. I used the macro-lens and was up very close and personal. To make it worth putting on my blog, I used a lot on contrast in photoshop and usm too (unsharp mask). I love the colours. If you look closely that is our car there in the backgrounds, you can just make out one of the wheels.This is how it looked with less contrast and only a little usm.
