Dag 42 - En Hvid Rose


I dag fik jeg lyst til at fotografere noget smukt. Valget faldt på denne rose, som kommer fra en stor buket roser jeg købte til min dejlige hustru i sidste week-end. Roserne fik Vivi fordi hun altid er en kærlig og omsorgsfuld mor og en hustru, der støtter op omkring mine vanvittige ambitioner - bl.a. spinning, som jeg nu går til 3 gange om ugen, og hvor Vivi så hænger på de daglige rutiner efter arbejdsdagen.

Fotografisk var fotoet ikke så svært at tage. Rosen er placeret på et stykke hvidt papir og med mit makro objektive har jeg fotograferet i en let opadgående vinkel i forhold til rosen. En ekstern flash (SB-600) udløses direkte på rosen så lys intensiteten i rosen er god, små skygger omkring rosen fjernes og det omkringliggende område bliver mørkt.

I Photoshop er processen mere omfattende. Der er anvendt LAB-color for at tilføje skarphed i Lightness kanalen (gør, at det kun er de kontrastrige overgange der skærpes). Rosen er herefter markeret, og det negative område (alt undtagen rosen) er tilføjet noget Motion Blur for at give indtryk af bevægelse samt blødgøre papirfladen og sløre baggrunden. Herefter er fotoet konverteret til mono, og ved hjælp af Duo Tone har jeg valgt en sammensætning af 4 farver, der giver dette specielle monokrome look. Endelig er Noise Ninja anvendt for at tilføje et rigtigt lække blødt udtryk.

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.
