A Photographic Journal
One of the many beautiful costumes from this years International Carnival Parade at Aalborg Carnival.
The British Carnival group Mandinga Arts had teamed up with Hasseris Gymnasium to create the most amazing and well-executed themes of the entire parade, a Mexican Day of the Dead tribute.
Back in 2015 I released a collection of images with only one thing in common: they were all taken with a smartphone and processed in Snapseed. Other than that they didn’t really have much in common.
Since then I have continued to take pictures with my smartphone and process them in Snapseed, but this time trying to make them all kinda “fit” as part of a collection, being more “gritty” and “Lo-Fi
By the end of November 2016 I were finally so close to being satisfied that I decided that I would release this collection.
It is a bit different from what I usually do, but I think I needed to try something else for a while.
This is the 20th and final picture in my collection “The Lo-Fi Collection Vol. II: Gritty and grungy.

Blue
Rope on Boat
One of the old pubs in Aalborg. I think it has been there all my life, at least as far as I recall.
I came by on a rainy evening where the lights were reflected in the wet streets and the city really seemed to be alive somehow.
Alone in the Dark
Another picture from the annual Christmas fair in Aalborg.
Being quite introvert, I find it easier to do street photography in situations like this, as there are a lot of people with cameras (mostly phone cameras) taking pictures, so you really doesn’t stand out when you are taking pictures.
From the annual Christmas fair in Aalborg.
In relative dark situations like this, the 6D really shines, and combining it with a 35mm stabilized prime yields great results.
A fishing boat moored at the small harbour in Hou on a very rainy and windy autumn day.
Come Sail Away
I took this earlier this year, during the Wolf MCs (MC Ulvene) yearly gathering, where bikers from near and far shows up with their bikes.
Dark clouds coming in from behind me as the sun were setting.
This must be the smallest fishing boat I have ever come across.
An old worn-out bridge I found while exploring Frederikshavn.
Some of the houses from Sorthøj, Aalborg, beneath the open skies.
I am considering returning on a day with a more dramatic sky.
Dead, but still standing…
Facade
Winter Preparations
Dash
Beach Party Leftovers
I wonder how it would be like to live that close to the sea. Watch the weather shift, the seasons change and just sit there and enjoy every moment.
Details from a very well customized Harley Davidson.
After switching to full frame i needed something that could give me a field of view that were pretty close to the one I got from my EF-S 24mm f/2.8, so I bought a 35mm f/2 IS which is a totally overlooked lens. It is sharp and fast to focus, has a stabilizer and has a very usable focal length. Nothing beats 35mm.
One of the old monoculars looking out over Copenhagen from the top of Rundetårn (The Round Tower)
Taken at the Viking fair at Lindholm høje.
This Church, which is actually Called Frederiks church, is located in Copenhagen and has the largest church dome in Scandinavia. The picture here is taken from the royal palace Amalienborg.
Taken on a winter’s morning, just as the sun rose and painted everything orange.
A picture I took at the Danish Airshow at Flyvestation Aalborg back in 2012, but never really got around to doing anything about. It were raining like crazy that day and many of the flying displays were cancelled. This plane is a Lockheed Martin F-16AM Fighting Falcon from the Belgian Air Force (FA-121)
I visited a Viking Fair last weekend. Amazing to see the involvement from most of the people who, at least while the fair lasted, lived like the Vikings did a long time ago here in Denmark.
Expecting Rain
Another of the cool LEGO Star Wars Buildable figures.
I think a lot can be learned about posing and lighting, when trying to take pictures of these figures (or other poseable figures, I guess)
