Can someone please explain to me what the deal is with HDR photos (like this or this). Are they supposed to look like crap, or am I just missing my magic goggles? I must be missing out somehow, as I can’t quite figure out why people are molesting their photos so.
Just uploaded a batch of 16 more photos from Paris. I like this one in particular.
I was lucky enough to pass by the scene of a vandal, which made for a good photo:
This is not an intended pun, I just cannot be bothered with rephrasing the fact that I’ve been spending a lot of time over at Time’s new website. It’s so inviting… Anyway, I came across this neat little photo essay, detailing a few of the high points in Ennio Morricone’s career as a film composer. More of those please.
For our trip to Paris, I booked a room at the Little Palace Hotel.
It was a quite pleasant stay, though a bit on the expensive side for our tastes. The bathroom however almost made up for it. Unfortunately I don’t have any shots of the bathroom itself, but I did manage to cover the rest of the hotel quite well.
Check out the flickr set.
I’ve been smitten with Adobe Lightroom.
Over the weekend I spent a lot of hours working in Aperture, and while I got a lot of work done, I always felt a bit awkward with the whole thing. Like bringing a kitchen sink to a knife fight.
And so I turned to its closest competitor, Lightroom. And literally in minutes I was sold.
It’s faster, easier and out of my way in just about all respects. The cropping tool alone beats Aperture to a pulp, while laughing manically.
Anyway, hop on over and check out the first batch of photos from our Paris trip, most of which has been through Lightroom.
Rikke and I are off to Paris in a short while. Thank you so much for all your advice on where to go and what to see (and thank you Google Earth for letting us explore Paris well before we even get there).
Our stay there will be rather short, so we’ve decided not make any appointments while we’re there. But, I doubt this will be our last stay in Paris.
We’ve got wireless at the hotel, so depending on how late we get in and how tired we are, maybe I’ll drop some shots from my new camera on flickr.
Yes, new camera. The old trusty Canon Ixus 500 has been left in the drawer, and my brand-spanking-new Sony A100 is joining us in its place. I was planning on buying a Canon EOS 400D, but then the guy in the shop managed to convince me otherwise (the Sony comes with a better stock lense as well as anti-shake for the same price).
So far I’m very impressed, and lovin’ it. It takes some damn nice shots even when its quite dark.
Anyhoo, must be off, take care now.
I took a stroll through the HC Ørsteds park a few hundred meters from where I live, yesterday.
I would normally seperate something like this onto the sidebar, however since I am very very much looking forward to this DVD set, I figured it could do with some primetime.
There is a new 6 minute preview of the Return of the King Extended Edition up.
I don’t think it had really hit home with me, just how much I really am looking forward to this, the final reunion and goodbye with the greatest trilogy of all time. As I was watching the preview, I could feel it welling up in me once again.
My fingers will be numb for a week when I am done penning my homage…
PS: I have finally flickrized the best of the photos from the Return of the King Premiere, here in Copenhagen last christmas.
Yesterday, Rikke and I took a trip to a wildlife preserve of a kind; Dyrehaven. Here’s a taste of the photos we took out there. As soon as I get the time (these were quickly adjusted and uploaded literally minutes before I fell asleep yesterday), I’ll see if I can’t get a photo of one of the deer bulls up.
The chicken figuring in the kitchen photo in this series is still fresh on the cutting board – revealing the non-vegetarian habits of the people inhabiting the apartment; the aroma of the spice lingering deliciously in the air and the gas stove is grindig happily away at heating the butter on the pan (at least it isn’t complaining about anything, so I assume it’s happpy).
Here are, as promised a little while ago, photos of our home.
Also I will just take the time to here, bid Bjørn a good journey over the next few days, weeks and months as he settles into his new place of residence, working for Rare in the UK. Best of luck bro, our thoughts are with you.
