Wood Muster - Day 57

The sun was shinning today and I went to a nearby wood to look for a suitable photo subject. When photographing nature you either need to capture the grand view or focus on details - as in this photograph, where I have captured part of a decaying tree lying on the ground among its erect cousins.

I chose to convert to black & white to put focus on the fine structure and pattern in this section of the tree trunk.

For the B&W version I used preset 3.06 Structured Silver from Silver Shadows 2.0. For both photographs I used a preset from Julian Kost - Darken HP -20A 70F - to add a vignette.

The next phase is to see this on print. A monitor and a piece of art paper are really two different types of output medias and I think the best way to judge and appreciate a photo, is when it has been printed in the correct way on a piece of high class art paper.

Please visit my gallery if you want to purchase those photos on fine art paper.

Nikon D300, Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 at 95mm; exposure 1/125 af f/5.0, -1/3 EV, ISO 200

Debatindlæg omkring "det globale marked", entreprenørskab og innovationslysten

Fra velfærd til velstand - kravet er et erhvervsklima, der fremmer entreprenørskab og innovationslysten Globalisering er et vidt begreb. Det viser mange af de artikler der er skrevet omkring dette emne det seneste år. Jeg undres dog over den ofte populistiske tilgang der gennemsyrer mange artikler. Fænomenet kan dog forklares. Globalisering er så vidt et begreb, at konsekvenserne af globaliseringen skal belyses snævert. Det er derfor på tide at globaliseringsdebatten bliver mere kvalificeret og nuanceret. Hvor ofte har vi ikke læst, at ”globaliseringen kræver at vi tør tænke nyt”, at vi skal ”vinde det globale kapløb på viden, kreativitet og godt købmandskab” og at mange danske virksomheder ”ikke ved hvordan man kommer fra overskrifter til en konkret og fremadrettet strategi”? I den forbindelse er det på sin plads at definere ordet strategi. Jeg refererer til Berlingske Nyhedsmagasin nr. 28, der i deres artikel ”I har misforstået hvad strategi er” citerer professor Michael Porter...

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.
