I really like dark forest pictures that tries to give the viewer the feeling of standing in a thick forest. This was a quick picture I took while I was going to a lake with my family and as such I did not take the time to setup a shot. I feel I could have made a so much better shot, even though I think this shot was ok.

Oliver was playing with a stick in the water and loving the water. I got a few other shots off, but I think this was the one I liked best in B&W.

Either it is just me since I remember the atmosphere around the lake, but I like the feeling in the picture.

Together with my family we went out to a small lake the past weekend, it was beautiful weather and we had some nice summer sights during our stroll there. I’ll put these pictures up now, since autumn is around the corner and we can all use some nice summer photos to go back to

Took this picture in a hotel last year. The guys over at vfxy had a theme this week called Abandoned, I thought this picture would classify as that.
Also added some blood spatter, but I do not know if it was better or worse But as usually I am in a hurry to be somewhere with my family

I have not had the time to dig into photoshop for the last couple of months, so I decided to do that now. I usually crawl around the internet to get some inspiration and I found these 2 tutorials:
Grunge Type
How to create a splattered photomontage

And the end result you can see above.

Not much to say, sometimes I wish I were a bumble bee. That had time for more photoblogging

I took this picture using my zoom lens since I do not have any macro objective at the moment. As such I think the picture is ok.

This shot was taken at the dinner table and after going through a number of lightroom filters the output was to me very nice. So I opened up Photoshop and started to remove some artififacts and fix the background some.
I would like to have added some gradient background or so, but the issue with that is too little time. To fix a background I need to fix the body/shoulder/arm lines since they are gone now, and then hope that it will look good in the end. Perhaps another month ;p

I was out yesterday and the day before that to snap a few shots of our very nice winter.

The upside is that everything is white, there have been some humidity and above freezing temperature and then it quickly went to subzero and that really painted everything white. The downside is that the hard part of shooting just white, is to find the not white. On my walk yesterday I did find some nice shots, but not a lot

Anyway, starting the year with a picture! (or 4, depending on how you see it..)

Some more pressuring matters needed my attention, namely my lovely family.
Of course I have had some spare time, that however have been given to some programming.
I am working on a Horse reduction system for betting stuff, if it goes well I will be able to spend more time photographing.

I won’t make any promises this year (I didn’t last year either, except that I would kiss my family more.), but I will take more time for the photo and digital darkrooming.

Happy New Year everyone.
