Good news everyone!

One of my photos will be at an exhibition in September!

"The exhibition consists of three modules / parts that are right next to each other. Your photo is thought to be "top picture" of all this, that is, it probably must be trimmed slightly to be more" panoramic " and it must be divided into three parts."

"the 2nd of Setpember is the international wetlands day that we mark, with activities and talks, and with the official opening of the new exhibition."

For anyone who is interested in seeing it, the exhibition it will be at:

Fetsund Lenser
Lundveien 3
1900 Fetsund
Norway

A motherload of motifs!

There's not going to be much philosophy going on in this post, since I've been pretty preoccupied lately. Just some nice photos for you to look at :) 

I had been feeling sick for a few days, but when Sondre and Magnus asked me to come along on a short trip out to where Magnus' family has a cabin, I couldn't refuse :) and I found a lot of nice things to photograph.. this tiny flower for instance. 

After a bit of climbing and rummaging around in bushes I found this old tree :) and standing knee deep in tick-infested underbrush was definitely worth it x)

Forcing a New View

After months of pneumonias and colds, and moving etc, I've finally started to feel a little better and I've even been out a couple of times with my camera. However, after I got a wide angle lens for xmas I've been thinking about how I usually only go around looking for the same kind of views and motifs whenever I go out. So with a couple of new lenses I decided to try to force myself to start looking for new things. By limiting myself to only one lens each time I go out, I have to force myself to look at the world from a new perspective. I've gotten so used to the macro-oriented style that it can feel a little uninspiring. So the first time I went out, I decided to only use my wide angle lens, and this was one of the results:

There are more photos from that trip, but I haven't gotten around to editing them yet.

I liked the way this made me think and made me search for new views, so I did it again only this time with my telezoom. I was extremely lucky with the light too.. there was a very, very thin mist hanging over the entire landscape, and if not for the bright sunlight it would have been easy to miss.

These are some of the results:

The last set of photos can also be viewed here: Google + Album: A New View :)

So in conclusion: experimentation is important, and above all else; fun.
