This basket is part of an exhibition at Aalborg Zoo. I took this picture on a winters day, when the sun were still pretty low on the sky.

The Green Door
I had a brief opportunity to play tourist in Copenhagen. I had my “old” EOS 1000D and kit lens with me because I didn’t want to carry around to much gear. As we crossed Langebro, I fell upon this old door to the control tower of the bridge.
A bird in the hand
When it get really cold outside, the local pigeons seem to put all fear of humans aside in exchange for something to eat.
Tiny Sports Car
This initially started as part of a test setup, as I were trying different settings with my Sigma 30mm lens. I really liked the details, and ended up giving it the complete treatment.
In the middle of nowhere…
Actually it is somewhere in Tuscany. We were hiking, and close to the spot where we were all supposed to meet up, I took this picture of the beautiful landscape.

Christmas 2013
Merry Christmas everyone.
This id a rather old shot, taken with the Nifty fifty on a EOS 1000D. (using tripod)
Veggie store
A picture I took last week when I went for a walk, of a small ethnic shop in Aalborg.
Taken with my favorite lens, the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 mounted on a EOS 60D.

Lanterns
December in Denmark means trees with lights and lanterns everywhere. It’s a good thing though as it makes it easier to see where you are. After all we have less than 7 hours of light every day in December, so some extra light is needed.
Taken with my EOS 60D and the amazing Sigma 30mm f/1.4

Focus on the water
I took this earlier this year on a small ferry.
No points for guessing what car I drive 😀

Lamb in evening light
A picture I took on a beautiful evening this summer, just as the sun was setting.
The juicy green grass combined with a white lamb in the warm tones of the setting sun works really well I think.
Taken with my EOS 60D and 55-250mm lens.

At the beach
This summer we I went for a very brief trip to Egholm, a tiny island in Limfjorden, on the edge of Aalborg.
The heat was extreme that day, so I didn’t really feel like taking a lot of pictures. I did take this shot though.

Goliath
I took this picture this summer, but it didn’t really appeal to me, so I decided to use it to experiment with the Lomo presets in Topaz Labs Adjust 5. I started with the preset ‘Lomo III’ and then started tweaking until i got this result. I think it turned out pretty decent, although I still prefer a more natural colour range, or monochrome of course.

A crooked little place
I like how the owner of this little spot has used whatever he/she had laying around as stands for the flower pots.

Mountains in the backyard
For me, the fact that some people have mountains right in their backyard is simply amazing. I just love the nature in Tuscany.
I took this while driving from Barga to Castelnuovo di Garfagnana. If you can help me figure out where this place is, please let me know 🙂

Dead flowers
Well.. it seems like the summer is gone for good. Now there’s a long dark winter ahead of us.
This picture was taken with my EOS 60D and 40mm pancake lens.

Nihil Ardui Volentia
While hiking in Tuscany we saw a lot of small shelters along the path, that were made of rocks and had been used to stay in overnight back when rock were brought down from the mountain quarries on mules or hauled by men. Many of the small shelters had a relic like this inside.
