This a similar shot to the first in this series. This time a little closer and the branch coming in from the left. I’m not sure which I like best so I’ll let you the viewer decide. Leave a comment and let me know.

Midstua
Our starting Point for yesterdays snowshoe trek
The Hunter in Winter
Today I have been out snowshoeing with a mate. Checking traps and generally having a fun time. I thought I’d share a shot I took .
Wheelchair in the corner
Another wheelchair in the same hospital. I took this shot on my first visit here. I love the paint peel in the background.I added a vignette for effect.
Electric Chair
One of my favourite subjects besides people.I love to photograph dereliction and abandoned places and things or Urban exploration as it is better known.
This is one of my favourites from a series I did over two visits to a local abandoned psychiatric hospital. I’ll share some more soon.
Picture wise this was taken with a tripod mounted Leica MP with a 20mm Nikkor 20mm lens via a Novoflex adapter using Ilford XP2 .The negative was scanned on my Epson V700
The Salt Merchant
Just to show that I do take the occasional colour shot I offer you to start one of my favourite casual portrait shots taken at a local Viking market. This wonderful Danish Gentleman was selling smoked salt.I asked if I could take his picture and this was the result. As the market is only every other year I had to wait two years to give him a print.
The Norwegian Tempo Club III
I was asked to take a couple of shots of some colleagues on one of their annual outings with the Norsk Tempo Klubb
The Tempo is a Norwegian moped from around the 60’s.
This shot (my personal favourite from this quick shoot)was taken using my 1958 Yashica-C TLR from the same period as the mopeds (And some of the owners) What supprised me was the amount Of fine detail there is in this shot. The film I used was Kodak T-max 100 asa which I developed in Caffenol -C with a reduced soda recipe using only 40g per litre instead of 54g. for 14mins at 20℃. The negatives were scanned on my Epson V700 using Silverfast SW.
I’m planning a page to explain for beginners how to use Caffenol. There are many fine sites on the web but this will be a basic “How I did it” article. So stay tuned
Emily@f1.4
This was taken two years ago . My daughter has to suffer when I buy a new lens. This is one I took of her by the window in her bedroom with no other lighting.I used my then New Summilux 50mm f1.4 wide open.
Emily Laughs
My Favourite model.
My now 16 year old daughter Emily. This was taken in natural light on Ilford Xp2
The Reader
One of my all time favourite shots Taken a while back while having lunch in Bergen.
I took the shot between the shoulders of the two friends sitting opposite me. I love the way the light fell on her hair and hand.
