Mit bidrag til Nov-Dec sektionen af konkurrencen "2006 Nikonians Photographers of the Year"

Mit næste foto til konkurrencen "Årets Nikonians Fotografer 2006". 

Jeg har valgt at deltage i sektionen "Arkitektur". Det var det første foto i den sektion. 

Jeg synes fotografiet udtrykker de enorme muligheder, et åbent sind har (havet & himlen), så snart du forstår, hvordan du låser op for sindet (porten).

  1. Veeeery nice shot too, Lars. The sky also symbolises 'no limit'. I like it... a lot.

    A few points of criticism (positively meant):

    1) The photo seems a bit "flat" (but just a bit). I would have made a bigger contrast. When I see you next time, I'll bring a book that shows how to do b/w photos the "Ansel" way.

    2) The horizon is tilting (1.5 degrees). It should be rotated clockwise slightly.

    3) The reflections from the sun in the sea is a bit offset from the centre of the gate. I would have stepped left a bit.

    The 2 first can be done in Photoshop and are "accepted" changes (subject to the rules of the contest, I guess) as these are things you can do in a traditional darkroom.

    Well, just my 2 Euro Cents. Where was it taken? Gotland?

  2. Hi Joachim,

    Thx for the constructive comments. I've experimented a bit with the Dodge and Burn tool in Photoshop Elements. This you will see on one of my next photos.

    Regards

Blue Cloth Ornament - Day 131

While visiting some our good friends Christina & Morten I had the opportunity to demonstrate some photo apps on my iPhone to nice person who still was unaware of all the bliss appearance on social media can bring you. The subject is the table cloth captured and post processed with the iPhone app "Camera+".

Two Paths - Day 64

Days are going by - time is flying - we are getting older - the world is moving. Tic Tac Tic Tac. My professional career has come to a halt and it's time to reflect about the possibilities that opens up in such a situation. It's been a month since I stopped at Strålfors and all days (and some nights) has been used to reflect upon this situation. I've chosen to follow the obvious path - find a new job - and all my network is being activated. But another path has slowly emerged - and to no ones surprise - this path evolves around photography. I'm not talking about becoming a photographer, but to become part of the industry. Tomorrow I'll fly to Stockholm to meet some interesting people who successfully has opened a photography museum in Stockholm - Fotografiska.eu - and I'm going to here about their project and journey. The photo that I shot this afternoon in the woods nearby my home symbolise the break from Strålfors and the two new paths that I've ch...

Press photographer has to face a lot of moral issues

Every year we hear about press photographers being killed while trying to capture a decisive photo and document the truth. They also have to face a bunch of moral issues while being close to death and people in need of help. In my opinion it is vital to capture a photo that can influence decisions on a large scale. But when faced with the choice of either keep taking pictures or trying to change the course of a situation by personal interaction (and maybe risk your own life), I can only imaging the moral issues a press photographer must deal with in a few decisive seconds.
