Another shot from a walk along the river near my home here in Norway. The sun shone just right on this driftwood log. I darkened the shot a little to focus the attention on the log.

I thought this upturned boat made a nice pointer to the bridge in the distance. It also adds some foreground interest and depth to the shot.

I helps to remember your SD cards when going for a walk. This time I did just that.
This is a hip shot . I left the crazy angle in.I think it lends a little to the dynamic of the shot. I tried to straighten the image it just looked too ordinary.

Drawing Stonehenge, a photo by Davidap2009 on Flickr.

Two years ago I visited Stonehenge. I’ve been there many times. I used to go to school in the local village way back in the 70’s. If you visit during normal hours it’s difficult to get shots without people in them. In this case I decided to make at least one part of the composition. I noticed an Artist drawing the Henge. So with my 20mm Nikkor on my Leica MP I took this

Todays Shot shows that you don’t have to travel any great distance to get a great shot. I took this at the kitchen table. My wife doing the crossword. What makes this shot for me is the light and the slight movement as she raises the mug.
The everyday occurrences become art (If you will excuse the pretentiousness)

Portrait of a Viking

Posted on March 15, 2013March 15, 2013 Posted in Hobbies, PeopleTagged black and white, Monochrome, portrait, viking2 Comments

I’ve been under the weather for some days so I have spent the time looking at some old shots. This one I took of a splendid Viking at a local Viking market in 2006 using a Canon S3 IS. In fact it’s the same market at which my Salt Merchant shot was taken in 2010.
