Across the water for modern architecture
There’s a certain feeling of excitement when you shoot in a new place, and another when you go to a place you’ve been before. This weekend was a bit of both, since I’d only explored a part of the area the group of photographers from a local FB group heading out went to. I had a clue what to expect, but there was still quite a bit of new stuff to discover and explore.
We traveled across the Bridge (infamous for those who enjoy that crime show) to Örestad, a part of Copenhagen that’s slowly being built with lots of modern buildings and at least in some places innovative architecture. There’s an awful lot of glass, concrete and steel, and that’s not exactly my kind of thing, but I’d say it worked pretty well in several of the buildings. I’m no architecture expert in any way, but it was possible to see how the architects had intended the place to look.
Hello sunshine!
Sometimes feeling good is simple. A slow walk through a forest on the first warm-ish day of spring, basking in glorious sunlight is a very good way towards that. Getting a few pictures in the process is even better. And doing it together with your father who happens to be a photographic mentor is better still.
Such crowds at Sci-Fi World!
I went to the Sci-Fi World event in Malmö, Sweden this weekend with my 12 year old nephew, who is a “nerd-in-training” with a preference for Star Wars, the world of Tolkien and LEGO of all kinds. Of course I brought my camera with the hopes of capturing a few cosplayers there.
Nice to be by the seaside...
I'm slowly getting back to photography after my little break, and this was an impromptu photo outing to the little coastal town Lomma. My dad and I went out there to get a bit of fresh air as the sun was slowly setting after a very nice day of sunshine.
Out on the streets again
The first photowalk of the year for me was a rather windswept and chilly event, but it was also a lot of fun, and a nice way to ease myself back into photography after my hiatus.
I put up a post in a photography related Facebook group that I planned to do an impromptu photowalk in central Malmö on Saturday, and two other photographers from the group showed up and joined me as we slowly moved from the Triangeln train station through the city’s central parts to the Malmö Central station and back again.
Gray month...again!
January is now over and we’re into the shortest month of the year. This month my grand total of photos taken has been the lowest in years, and I am fine with that. I’ve written several blog posts now about how the obsession with shooting I used to have up until the fall of 2014 hasn’t returned. That is okay, because I am still very interested in photography as a subject...or topic. I definitely read books and magazines and watch videos online about photographers’ works and techniques, I’ve just not felt the urge to go out there and apply the skills or ideas presented in these various types of media.
