Image of the Week 45 – 2013
A new week, and that means? Yes, a new image. Also this image features one of my favorite subjects, lighthouses. This time it a small automated one. Since most of the lighthouses in Norway have been depopulated, they’ve all been automated. The buildings are still standing, but many of the old lighthouses have now been converted into something new, like museum, art gallery or vacationhome that is possible to rent in the summer season. This lighthouse here is found at Nærland, a stone throw away from Obrestad fyr (lighthouse) and Hå Gamle Prestegård (the old vicarage at Hå).

Image of the week 43 – 2013
I know that my weekly blogpost have been away, but this week it’s back, and this week we’re off to Fjøløy. A favorite site I love to shoot. With this image I’ve taken inspiration from one of mine heroes in photography; Joe Cornish and his shot of Elgol at the Isle of Skye. I just loves how Joe Cornish shows the magic of nature and landscape, and I’ve tried here to also capture some of that magic. Fjøløy can be a place of tranquill relax, but also a place of high wind and roar. This image shows one of those sides. Nikon D800, Nikon AF 28mm f2.8D, Formatt Hitech ND…

Here is an interview I did with my self based on a blog post of what questions you should often ask a photographer. It's not ment as a serious post in any sense, just as more in depth part of my About Section.

Magic or just another tool…
A post commenting on the purist thoughts that one should not edit or manipulate ones images. I try here to show that what we think of as image manipulation is not to degrade photography, but an integral part of the process of what photography is.

A blustery day at Jæren
Yesterday gave the promise of a cloudy day with high winds. Perfect for some action at the coastline of Jæren. A bit photographic “hung-over” from my trip last week to Hardanger and Telemark but still I wanted to shoot. I packed up my gear and drove down the coastline of fair Jæren. The weather at Jæren this day was promising. It could be a good “hair of the dog that bit me” to get me back into shooting. This type of weather is just what gives real drama to landscapes. Driving wind made it a bit hard to find stable conditions to get really sharp images. The windforce was up…
