Snow finally came

Snow finally came so I went out a second time to chase down some piccies. And here's one.

Invisible grey

Middle of January. Cold, grey and foggy. You can barely see Denmark across the sound. One lonely grey swan looking for some company. Not a great day for taking a walk but I did anyway.

Looking for snow

 

It started to snow while I was out walking the other day. I decided to take snow pictures but when I got out yesterday with my camera, the snow was gone. All I found was a budding star magnolia.

Light in the dark

Sometimes I feel the need to take pictures when it's too dark to go outside with the camera. So here's another piccie taken inside my apartment because my clickfinger was itching. It's a macro closeup of a candlelight holder made of transparent glass with leaf decorations. No flash was used, just the light from the candle inside. I'm experimenting with the camera to see what it can do and the result turn out good every now and then.

Falling water

Two pictures in one. The reflection of the trees in the pond and the colored fall leaves in the water fall. When I see something like this my hand will whip out the camera before I even think about taking a picture.

Don't do that

Every book about photography will tell you to not point your camera into the sun. Whenever I read this particular piece of advice regarding taking pictures I ask myself "Why the hell not?" My camera, my decision, my picture.

So I've stuck my camera lens in the suns face a few times and this is the one of the pictures that came out of it. I guess the sun does always shine above the clouds even though we doubt it sometimes.

And boom...

Since the Danes have been testing different payloads for the Kronborg Castle cannons several days this week I dug out this picture from June this year.

On the birthdays of the Danish Royal family and when the Danish Royal ship passes by Kronborg Castle, the Danes shoot salute with the castles cannons. The above picture was taken on the Danish Queens husbands birthday. I was sitting in a sailboat on my way to Denmark to have lunch with my workmates when we heard several loud bangs. It took a while before I saw the smoke from the castle, we were not exactly close. I was lucky to be able to take a picture despite the distance.
