Dag 2: Den gyldne svamp



Dag 2 i mit "Project 365" var spændende. Jeg opdagede denne svamp for et par dage siden og besluttede, at den skulle være stjerne i et af mine kommende fotografier. Jeg fandt et stykke skifer, som jeg bragte hjem fra Norge for mange år siden og monterede svampen omvendt på skiferen. Da jeg også er i gang med at lære min SB-900-flash at kende, prøvede jeg både at kombinere flash og naturligt lys samt kun at bruge flash. Jeg besluttede mig for kun at bruge blitz, da det skabte mere punch til billedet, og det var lettere at vinkle lyset for at skabe forskellige skygger. Efter mange variationer besluttede jeg mig for en let vinklet lysstråle, der kom lige over svampen i en afstand af 30 cm.

På Nikon D300 monterede jeg et AF-S Micro Nikkor 60 mm f/2.8G ED-objektiv og brugte et stativ samt en 2 sekunders selvudløserforsinkelse. Eksponeringen var 1/60 sek ved f/25 for at få en masse skarphed (ISO 200). SB-900 blev styret ved hjælp af den indbyggede flash som kommandør. I Lightroom brugte jeg en farvebehandlingen med det mål, at skabe en kontrast mellem den "kolde" skifer og den "varme" svamp.

  1. I really love the contrast between the background and the fungus. I also like the fine details in the fungus.

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.
