Photowalking in Copenhagen
Last weekend I took a stroll in Copenhagen with almost 40 other photographers during the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk and it was a lot of fun. I got to try out night photography as well as practicing my language skills all while hanging out with fellow photographers!
At a Fashion show?
This week’s blog post is one of those “the things you do for family” moments. My dad had said yes to be one of the “runway models” for a local group of senior citizens’ fashion show, so for rather obvious reasons he couldn't be the photographer...so I (was) volunteered. I also learned a few things, since I don't do event photography that often.
Park Life
It's almost the middle of September and fall is definitely upon us. With cold mornings and that almost crisp air when the skies are clear. I don't mind, although I wish we'd had one of those long-lasting heatwaves that just settles for awhile this summer. But then again, it's Sweden we're talking about, so heatwaves are not too common!
Still...park life happens at all times of the year, fall, winter, spring OR summer, and the images in this blog post are all taken in and around Pildammsparken on a late afternoon in September 2015.
Summer in the City
Last Sunday I felt It was time to do another stroll in the city of Malmö to capture whatever struck my fancy and while it wasn't the most well-populated streets I think I found a few interesting things to take pictures of; among tourists, bicycles, pedal boats in the canal and wall murals, to name a few.
People At Museums
During the week since my last posting I've been at three museums: The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebaek, Denmark, The Malmöhus Castle Museum and the Museum of Sketches in Lund. That's definitely not my normal dosage, but this week that's how it lined up. Out of these museums the one in Denmark was definitely the biggest, both in floor space, exhibition size as well as crowd sizes. It is interesting to see people reacting to artworks at exhibitions, what moves people to respond in different ways, so this week's post is mostly people in those three museums, with a shot of the great hall at Malmöhus Castle thrown in just to share some scenery.
Life in the Viking town
Every year for the last twenty years there has been a Viking market during the last week of June at Foteviken Viking Museum a few miles south of Malmö in Sweden. Hundreds of "Vikings" as well as visitors and curious onlookers come together to live as or look at Vikings in many ways. There are lots of market stalls and artisans show their skills as well as their wares. There are also reenactments of late Viking/early Medieval age fighting which always draw large crowds.
Photowalking an empty beach
This summer has been really crappy weather wise, but this weekend it worked to my favor as I took part in a photowalk at the Ribersborg beach. Had it been a "normal" summer this area would have been so full of swimmers and sunbathers that it'd be difficult to walk around without risking stepping on someone's towel...or face!
Copenhagen in black and white
The weather has not been especially good for photography in the last week. Great for gardens and farmers in need of irrigation, but not so much for those of us with itchy photography fingers! And it is still pouring down as I write these words, so this week's post is from a day trip to Copenhagen from a few weekends ago.
