October in the City
Today's post is images from a photowalk I did at the end of October in Malmö, Sweden with a local photography group on Facebook. It was fun to do, and it's always cool to do those with new people, to enjoy the social aspect of photography.
Fall Colors in the Park
It's that time of the year again, when pretty much everything green in nature is turning yellow, red or brown and it's pretty much a photographer's "duty" to be out there to take pictures of the abundance of colors! I've certainly done my fair share of fall colors photos in the past, but there's always room for a bit more.
These pictures are from one of the parks (and cemetery) in Malmö, Sweden where the colors certainly were pretty and people were out enjoying the scenery!
November is coming!
It is late Sunday evening as I type this, with one week to go before November 1st kicks in. For most people that is nothing special. A new month begins, and we’re ever closer to the holidays. But for me, and many others who are perfectly aware of what the acronym NaNoWriMo stands for it is the beginning of what could be a great adventure.
More Copenhagen pictures
I had the privilege of visiting the Danish capital across the water two Saturdays in a row, so I got quite a few pictures, both during the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk (which I've written about in an entry two weeks ago) as well as an outing there with my fellow board members of my photo club. So I'm sharing some street scenes from the latter trip today.
Faces in the Crowd
Street photography is fun when you can land expressions on people's faces! In a crowded city like Copenhagen on a Saturday afternoon/evening it isn't always so easy. You tend to get a lot of shots where people "interfere" with your composition by sticking an arm, leg or a head into your frame, but that's all part of the experience. You'll get a lot of "duds" among your keepers, and that is nothing to be too upset about. It's easier to just shoot more and look for the expression instead. If Joe Public (or whatever the Danish equivalent might be called) ends up in half your frame...no biggie!
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.
