Bouldering @ Tjörn

2012-01-15T23:02:00.000+01:00

Today I went out with some friends to boulder at Tjörn. Great weather for being mid January. In a few days Pontus will probably put up some more pictures at Happyboulder and West coast bouldering, and you might get a glimpse of me climbing.

Equipment used was Canon 7D with my new 50mm 1.4. For the night shots a 17-35 2.8 L was used. I also got a chance to try out my new Westcott Apollo Orb that I won on a self portrait competition at fstoppers.

Schiphol airport

2012-01-09T15:34:00.001+01:00

Had a few hours to kill at Schiphol airport in amsterdam while waiting on a connecting flight. Started playing around with my new Canon 50mm 1.4.

Ok, it was some weeks ago but here's some pics from my friend at Bullitt Leather and his (the shop)six years anniversary.

Battle of Hisingen

2011-09-19T21:40:00.000+02:00

This last weekend there were a viking battle not far from where I live. Some friends of mine organized this great event, Battle of Hisingen.

While I was not fighting I ran around with my 7D and a 70-200 2.8l IS. In the afternoon I also put up my newly bought octabox from kaffebrus. Newer used these things before and didn't even have the right equipment for it. I hanged it on a tripod and laid my speedlite inside it, balancing on the umbrella mechanic.

Here's a taste from the weekend

The setup looked like this. The sky had thick clouds and created an even light. Again, first try...

Last picture is me, camera was held by my brother (he's on the picture above)

See all photos here.

Hornbore ting

2011-09-02T14:48:00.000+02:00

I was invited to Hornbore ting, a viking market outside Hamburgssund here in Sweden. The surrounding nature is beautiful here and a very nice place for a market like this. It was a commissioned work for Hornbore.

Malta full moon party

2011-09-02T14:35:00.000+02:00

While in Malta we went to a Full moon party down the beach with some Maltese friends and One Fire. Nice people that entertained us with a magical fire show and great music.

Swim Through Malta

2011-08-31T23:00:00.000+02:00

In my vacation I went free diving in Malta with some friends. Me and Daniel brought our Gopro Hero HD cameras and I had my Canon 7D on land. This was my first time with my new glide track. Wasn't easy getting it down to Malta with ryan air regulations but well worth those six seconds off film I could use in this video :)

Night in the forest

2011-07-16T23:28:00.000+02:00

Yesterday I drove out of town for the night just to get some peace. I knew about a shelter about 45min drive from here and arrived at about midnight.

Foteviken 2011

2011-07-16T23:23:00.000+02:00

This year at Foteviken was just as great as previous years. I hardly took any pictures though. During Saturday evening a great storm came by and left us with some great colors and light :)

Airsoft with Leica M6

2011-07-16T23:14:00.000+02:00

I was at an airsoft game a few weeks ago. As usual I had my 7D with me but also a Leica M6 with a 24mm lens. It seemed really suiting bringing a camera like this to an airsoft game.

Customized Magazin

2011-06-16T18:37:00.000+02:00

Got an email from Michael at Customized Magazin. He's doing a really cool magazine in Germany with lots of customized tramp bikes as well as motor bikes, hot rods, pin ups and tattoos. He had seen my pictures from Copenhagen Ink fest and wanted to include some of them.

If you can't pick up the free A6 sized magazine in Germany, browse in to http://customized-magazin.de/Issue13/Customized13.html for the latest number with my pics (page 49-50).

Egg

2011-05-26T21:03:00.000+02:00

When I came home from work today I was not only hungry, I had an urge to film. Five egg sandwiches later and just as many hours I had this.

Filmed with a Canon 7D with a Canon 50mm f/2.5 makro.
edited in Premiere using Magic Bullet Looks.

Music: Dave Brubeck - Take Five

Music video: Marulk - Devils on a stroll

2011-05-23T08:52:00.000+02:00

Here's the music video I've been working on for Marulk. Filmed during their concert in Åland at Pub Bastun.
I used a Canon 5D mkII with a Canon 16-35 f/2.8l on a tripod for the wide shots. And then I had my Canon 7D with a Canon 85mm f/1.2l on my shoulder rig for additional shots. I also used my Canon 28-70 f/2.8l a bit.

Film was edited in Premiere and After effects.

Climbing in Fjällbo

2011-05-21T19:43:00.001+02:00

Today I was out with some friends for climbing in Gothenburg. There are loads of easily accessible rock around Gothenburg.

Marulk @ Åland

2011-05-11T10:03:00.000+02:00

Back home from Åland with Marulk where they played at Pub Bastun in Mariehamn. I was there to film a music video for their song Devils on a stroll. The video is being edited right now and should be ready next week or so. Here's a few photos from the trip.

Bullitt Hay Day

2011-05-09T14:16:00.000+02:00

Last weekend my friend at Bullitt Leather had what he called "Bullitt Hay Day". Extra opening hours with cake and refreshments! A truly great evening with awesome people. I snapped a few pictures between the beers.

Marulk - Devils on a stroll

2011-05-02T11:16:00.000+02:00

Just agreed to make Marulks next music video, Devils on a stroll. I've been working with them earlier doing their cover, cutting their video for Potemkin and taking some concert photos. Great guys and great music so I'm really looking forward to the upcoming weekend. We'll head to Åland and Pub Bastun where they will perform and I'll film both the trip and the performance.

Fotefighting 2011 Helmetcam

2011-04-19T19:51:00.000+02:00

I didn't have all that much film material from last trainings weekend at Foteviken. the few minutes I had was cut together really fast in Adobe Premiere with added effects from Magic bullet.

Fotefighting 2011

2011-04-18T19:24:00.000+02:00

Last weekend there was a big viking training weekend down at the Foteviken viking reserve in Skåne. I was participating in the fighting but managed to snap a few photos while not fighting. I also had my helmet camera on but you'll have to wait a bit longer for me to cut it together.

Copenhagen ink Festival 2011

2011-04-12T09:30:00.001+02:00

Last weekend I attended the Copenhagen Ink Fest. We were six vikings going down there to do a show fight on stage. As usual I brought my camera to capture the event.
My main goal was to make a small film. I used my Canon 7D and had a first try with my new Nikkor 50mm f/1.4. But also used a Canon 70-300 f/2.8L IS. The first song, with Dead Mans Suit, I captured on a Zoom H2, second one, Mean Cat Daddies - Why do I cry, is an mp3.

I also took a few photos. Afterwards I wish I took more and spent less time on filming.

New lens

2011-04-12T09:07:00.000+02:00

Bought my self a new lens to use when filming. It's a Nikkor-S 50mm f/1.4. I used an adapter ring to fit it on my Canon 7D. This lens Nikon was manufacturing these lenses as early as 1969.

The good thing about these old lenses is the soft focus ring and the manual aperture. Although the focus is not as crisp as in modern lenses, it seldom matters when filming due to the moving images and relatively small image size.

New blog
