ENGLISH: Vacation time is here - I am going to take a break for the update schedule and will return on August 3rd - have a great summer everyone :)//
DK: Så er ferietiden her - jeg tager en pause fra opdateringerne og vender tilbage igen 3. august - hav en skøn sommer allesammen :)

Never Look Too Closely || EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 10:30 +0200

The Daily Photo July 10th, 2009 // Det Daglige Foto 10. Juli, 2009

ENGLISH: Returning once again to my box of Bassetts Liquorice Allsorts - this time with a serious macro shot. I think this servers as a good example of why it's not good to look too closely at the food or candy you enjoy :D At this distance, that delicious candy just reveals itself as crystalized sugar and fat crompressed into cubes :D //
DK: Vender lige tilbage til min kasse med Bassetts Liquorice Allsorts - denne gang med et seriøst makro billede. Jeg tror dette tjener som et glimrende eksempel for hvorfor det ikke er en god ide at kigge alt for grundigt på det mad og slik vi nyder :D På denne afstand afslører det lækre slik sig som krystalliseret sukker og fedt komprimeret i terningeform :D

The Daily Photo July 9th, 2009 // Det Daglige Foto 9. Juli, 2009

ENGLISH: Returning once again to Cloud Gate, in Chicago's Millennium Park. I took a number of shots from this angle, with my back to the city core - in Black/White and at high contrast like here, it looks like there is a strange anomaly in the air, bending it :) //
DK: Endnu engang tilbage til Cloud Gate, i Chicagos Millenium Park. Jeg tog et antal billeder fra denne vinkel, med ryggen til bykernen - i Sort/Hvid og i høj kontrast some her, så ser det ud som om der er en besynderlig anomali i luften, der bøjer den :)

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 10:30 +0200

The Daily Photo July 8th, 2009 // Det Daglige Foto 08. Juli, 2009

ENGLISH: Captured in Odense Zoo. I actually took this shot to get the not-so-happy-looking Pelican and only post-shot did I spot that the Pelican to the left was fooling around, and unfortunately had moved on so I couldn't get them both fully in the frame. Afterwards it just struck me that it looked exactly like the Pelican to the right was angry at the Pelican to the left and determined not to talk to it :) //
DK: Taget i Odense Zoo. Jeg tog faktisk dette billede for at indfange den ikke-helt-så-glad-udseende pelikan og først bagefter så jeg, at pelikanen til venstre fjollede rundt, og da var den desværre hoppet videre så jeg ikke kunne få dem begge fuldt i billedet. Efterfølgende slog det mig, at det fuldstændigt så ud som om pelikanen til højre var sur på den til venstre og fast besluttet på ikke at tale med den :)

Do the Flamingo || EF-L 70-200mm f/4 IS USM

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 10:30 +0200

The Daily Photo July 7th, 2009 // Det Daglige Foto 07. Juli, 2009

ENGLISH: Captured in Odense Zoo. I think Flamingos are great birds - they are a variety of pink colours according to what their diet consists off, they are always moving around in flocks and they have that very flexible neck, simply put LOTS of photo ops. I tried to capture two that formed a heart-shape with their necks, but they were just never at the right angle :) //
DK: Taget i Odense Zoo. Jeg synes Flamingoer er fantastiske fugle - de er alle mulige varianter af pink alt efter hvad de spiser, de bevæger sig altid rundt i flokke og de har de utroligt fleksible halse, kort sagt MASSER af foto muligheder. Jeg forsøgte at fange to der lavede hjerte-formen med deres halse, men de var bare aldrig i den rigtige vinkel :)

My Toy!!! || EF 28mm f/1,8 USM

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 10:30 +0200

The Daily Photo July 6th, 2009 // Det Daglige Foto 06. Juli, 2009

ENGLISH: The bulldog of a near and dear friend - I just like this captured moment, where he stopped playing with his chewtoy and gave me a really suspicious look as if he was wondering if I might be plotting to steal his toy :D //
DK: En bulldog der tilhører en nær ven - jeg kan rigtigt godt lide dette indfangne øjeblik, hvor han stoppede med at lege med hans bidetov og gav mig et rigtigt mistænksomt blik som om han spekulerede over om jeg mon planlage at stjæle hans legetøj :D

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:30 +0200

The Daily Photo July 3rd, 2009 // Det Daglige Foto 03. Juli, 2009

ENGLISH: Captured in Odense Zoo. An old land tortoise just waking up from a nap - I've always been fascinated by these creatures, the rough texture of the skin, the expressive faces, the fact that they can get incredibly old and that sense of wisdom they seem to have - wonder what they could tell us if we could understand them? :) //
DK: Taget i Odense Zoo. En gammel land skilpadde der lige var ved at vågne fra en lur - jeg har altid været fascineret af disse væsener, den grove tekstur i deres hud, de udtryksfulde ansigter, det faktum at de kan blive vildt gamle og så den fornemmelse af visdom de synes at have - gad vide hvad de ville fortælle os hvis vi kunne forstå dem? :)

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:30 +0200

The Daily Photo July 2nd, 2009 // Det Daglige Foto 02. Juli, 2009

ENGLISH: For once I actually know what I have been shooting (I hope) - this is supposedly a Bullfinch, which I was fortunate enough to be able to capture from a few meters away when visiting one of my aunts - a rare opportunity to get this close to a small bird with my 200mm lens :) //
DK: For en gangs skyld ved jeg faktisk (håber jeg) hvad det er jeg har taget et billede af - dette burde være en Dompap, som jeg var heldig nok at kunne indfange på et par meters afstand under et besøg hos en af mine mostre - en sjælden lejlighed til at komme så tæt på med mit 200mm objektiv :)

Yellow Crunchy Heaven || EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 10:30 +0200

The Daily Photo July 1st, 2009 // Det Daglige Foto 01. Juli, 2009

ENGLISH: To me - summer is at least partially made from the taste of fresh corn on the cob, boiled and served with just a bit of butter - that crunchy, sweet taste just brings back memories of childhood and less complicated times :) //
DK: For mig - der er sommeren i hvert fald til dels bygget af smagen af frisk majs på kolbe, kogt og serveret med bare en lille smile smør - den sprøde, sød smag bringer minder tilbage om barndom og mindre komplicerede tider :)

From the Steel and Concrete Heights || EF-L 17-40mm f/4,0 USM

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 10:30 +0200

The Daily Photo June 30th, 2009 // Det Daglige Foto 30. Juni, 2009

ENGLISH: Captured in Chicago, from the John Hancock Center observatation deck. I consider this my first, real "skyscraper shot", which I tried to keep in that classic look that I have seen on so many posters over the years - great to finally be able to capture my own version of it :) //
DK: Taget i Chicago, fra John Hancock Center udkigs etagen. Jeg anser dette for at være mit første, rigtige "skyskraber billede" som jeg har forsøgt, at holde i den klassiske stil jeg har set på så mange plakater i årenes løb - fantastisk endeligt at kunne indfange min egen version :)

The Daily Photo June 29th, 2009 // Det Daglige Foto 29. Juni, 2009

ENGLISH: Just a macroshot of a snail making it's way in the world - I've always thought there was something fascinating about those little guys, with the retracting eyes, own house on their back and ability to draw completely back from the world :) //
DK: Bare et makroskud af en snegl der er ved at finde dens vej gennem verden - jeg har altid synes der var noget fascinerende over disse små fyrer, med deres øjne der kan trækkes ind, deres eget hus på ryggen og evne til at trække sig totalt tilbage fra verden :)

Twin Towers || EF-L 17-40mm f/4,0 USM

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 10:30 +0200

The Daily Photo June 26th, 2009 // Det Daglige Foto 26. Juni, 2009

ENGLISH: Captured in downtown Chicago. Skyscrapers + wide-angle lens = massive perspective distortion :D These mammoths are Sears Tower (left) and 311 South Wacker Drive (right) and even though they seem equally tall, Sears Tower with it's 442 meters/1,450 feet towers above 311 Wacker at a still impressive 293 meters / 961 feet. And apparently I was fortunate enough to see Sears Tower while that is still the place's name, as it apparently is going to change name this summer. //
DK: Taget i Chicago midtby. Skyskrabere + vidvinkel objektiv = massiv perspektiv forvrængelse :D Disse massive bygninger er Sears Tower (venstre) og 311 South Wacker Drive (right) og selv om de måske ser ud til, at være nogenlunde lige høke, så er Sears Tower med sine 442 meter klart kongen af bakken, da 311 Wacker "kun" klarer sig i mål med sine 293 meter. Og åbenbart var jeg heldig nok at se Sears Tower mens det stadigvæk er stedets navn, da det åbenbart ændrer navn denne sommer.

The Daily Photo June 25th, 2009 // Det Daglige Foto 25. Juni, 2009

ENGLISH: Captured in downtown Chicago. The Arts Institute had a magnificent lion guarding the place - and of course I had to snap a shot as I walked by. In retrospect, I wish I had gone back that way and taken a few more shots as this statue makes for a nice and dramatic motif. : )//
DK: Taget i Chicago midtby. Arts Institute havde en fantastisk løve stående som vagt - og jeg var naturligvis nødt til, at snuppe et billede da jeg gik forbi. I bagklogskabes ulideligt klare lys ville jeg ønske jeg var gået forbi igen og havde snuppet et par ekstra billeder da statuen her udgår et ganske smukt og dramatisk motiv. :)

The Daily Photo June 24th, 2009 // Det Daglige Foto 24. Juni, 2009

ENGLISH: Captured at Aalborg Carnival 2009. Cameras are everywhere these days and at events and gatherings I sometimes amuse myself with snapping shots of photographers taking photos - a bit of meta photography if you will. I am considering doing a cropping to display his motif :) //
DK: Taget ved Aalborg Karneval 2009. Der er kameraer allevegne i disse tider og ved events og forsamlinger morer jeg mig undertiden med, at snuppe billeder af andre fotografer der tager billeder - lidt meta-fotografering om man vil. Jeg overvejer at tage en beskæring der viser hans motiv :)

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 10:30 +0200

The Daily Photo June 23rd, 2009 // Det Daglige Foto 23. Juni, 2009

ENGLISH: Revisiting a motiff I shot back in 2007 (link) - more or less because I wanted to submit the shot for stock photo and found that the sharpness wasn't as good as it could be. Once again shooting with my supremely primitive lightbox (cardboard and reflective light) but I actually like the lighting here a lot. //
DK: Gensyn med et motiv jeg skød helt tilbage i 2007 (link) - mere eller mindre fordi jeg gerne ville uploade billedet som stock billedet og fandt ud af, at skarpheden bare ikke var så god som jeg troede. Endnu engang skudt med hjælp af min fantastisk primitive lightbox (pap og reflekteret lys) men jeg kan rent faktisk rigtigt godt lide belysningen her.

Going Up, Up, Up || EF-L 17-40mm f/4,0 USM

Mon, 22 Jun 2009 10:30 +0200

The Daily Photo June 22nd, 2009 // Det Daglige Foto 22. Juni, 2009

ENGLISH: Captured in downtown Chicago. Having been raised with US sitcoms, nothing says "inner city USA" to me than tall buildings with fire escapes like this - might not be the most interesting of motifs, but there is a certain nostalgic feeling about it for me, but I do like the symmetry here as well with all the stairs and windows making it look like an elaborate model set. //
DK: Taget i Chicago midtby. Med en barndom der har inkluderet et hav af amerikanske sitcoms, er der ikke noget der siger "midtby USA" til mig som høje bygninger med brandtrapper som her - det er måske ikke det mest interessante motiv, men der er en vis nostalgi over det for mig, udelt, at jeg godt kan lide symmetrien i billedet hvor alle vinduerne og trapperne får det til, at se ud som et kompliceret byggesæt.

The Daily Photo June 19th, 2009 // Det Daglige Foto 19. Juni, 2009

ENGLISH: Captured at Aalborg Carnival 2009. I just wanted to show off this young lady in all her glory - I think that headdress is magnificent - unfortunately some guy muscled in front of me just as I was shooting, so I had to do some bad cropping on this one :( That is probably the worst part about street photography - if you miss the moment, you miss the shot :( //
DK: Taget ved Aalborg Karneval 2009. Jeg ville sådan set bare gerne vise denne unge dame i al hendes skønhed - jeg synes hovedbeklædningen er fantastisk - uheldigvis var der en gut der moslede ind foran mig lige som jeg var ved at tage billeder, så jeg blev nødt til at foretage noget træls beskæring på dette billede :( Det er sådan set nok det værste ved street photography - misser man øjeblikket, misser man billedet :(

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 10:30 +0200

The Daily Photo June 4th, 2009 // Det Daglige Foto 09. Juni, 2009

ENGLISH: Captured in downtown Chicago, from the John Hancock Center observation deck. Visibility wasn't as great on my second day of braving the heights, with a bit of daze over the city, but when I saw this I just couldn't help think of the classic SimCity covers where you always saw a bunch of skyscrapers huddled together. Other than that, I think it's a fairly good shot of the downtown area, showing how everything is really tall for a number of blocks and then drops away to regular size buildings when looking further out. //
DK: Taget i Chicago midtby, fra John Hancock Center's udkigs etage. Sigtbarheden var ikke så god på denne min anden dag med, at drage op i højderne, med en smule dis over byen, men da jeg så dette syn kunne jeg ikke lade være med at tænle på de klassiske SimCity covers hvor man altid så en bunke skyskrabere der stod klumpet sammen. Derudover, så synes jeg det er et timeligt godt skud af midtbyen, der viser hvordan alting bare rager op i et vist område og så falder til normal højde når blikket søger længere ud .

The Daily Photo June 17th, 2009 // Det Daglige Foto 17. Juni, 2009

ENGLISH: Captured in Millennium Park, Chicago. Returning once again to the "Cloud Gate" statue, this is taken from underneath the statue where people can see their reflection repeated and distorted almost to infinity - and of course I could just engage in a bit of metaphotography here (me shooting the people shooting themselves shooting their reflections shooting themselves in infity). Although I really like the statue for its aestetics, the best part is seeing people react and interact with it - if art is something that provokes reaction, then this is a very successful piece of art. //
DK: Fotograferet i Millennium Park, Chicago. Endnu engang vender jeg tilbage til "Cloud Gate" statuen, dette er taget nedenunder statuen hvor folk kan se deres spejlbillede gentaget og forvrænget nærmest i det unendelige - og så havde jeg naturligvis lige muligheden for, at deltage i lidt meta-fotografering (mog der tager billeder af folk der tager billeder af sig selv hvis reflektioner tager billeder af, etc). Selvom jeg rigtigt godt kan lide statuen for dens æstetik, så er det bedste ved den den måde folk reagerer og interagerer med den - hvis kunst er noget der skal fremprovokere en reaktion, så er dette et stykke meget velfungerende kunst.

The Daily Photo June 4th, 2009 // Det Daglige Foto 09. Juni, 2009

ENGLISH: Captured in downtown Chicago. Two things here: 1) I love the big city, with all the tall buildings and varied architecture it offers me great opportunities to capture wonderful angles and perspectives - and like here, a skyscraper rising in the backdrop of what I would call classic American inner city buildings. 2) I have GOT to get me one of those GPS trackers that can record GPS coordinates which allows you to later link it up with the photos - it annoys me that I never keep track of what I am shooting, because I am too busy capturing it, :) //
DK: Taget i Chicago midtby. To ting: 1) Jeg elsker storbyen, med alle de høje bygninger og varierede arkitektur der giver mig fantastiske muligheder for at indfange vinkler og perspektiver - og som her, en skyskraber der rejser sig i baggrunden af hvad jeg vil kalde klassiske bygninger for en Amerikansk storby. 2) Jeg er NØDT til at anskaffe mig en af de GPS trackere der kan optage GPS koordinater som man senere kan koble sammen med billeder - det irriterer mig, at jeg aldrig har styr på hvad det er jeg tager billeder af fordi jeg har så travlt med at indfange motivet. :)

Making a Big Splash || EF-L 70-200mm f/4 IS USM

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 10:30 +0200

The Daily Photo June 15th, 2009 // Det Daglige Foto 15. Juni, 2009

ENGLISH: Captured in Millennium Park, Chicago. Hard to resist shooting the unbridled joy of a kid splashing his way through the water flowing at the plaza - this kid, however, was just a tad to quick for me as he changed directions just as I took the shot :) Still, I like the splash and the look of joy on his face. //
DK: Fotograferet i Millennium Park, Chicago. Det er svært at modstå at indfange den uhæmmnende glæde når et barn splisker og splasker sig igennem det vand der var på pladsen - dette barn var dog lige en tand for hurtig for mig, da han ændrede retning lige som jeg tog billede. Men jeg kan nu alligevel godt lide vandsprøjtet og udtrykket af ren glæde på hans ansigt.

The Daily Photo June 4th, 2009 // Det Daglige Foto 09. Juni, 2009

ENGLISH: Captured in Millennium Park, Chicago. You can't really go to Chicago these days and NOT see the Cloud Gate (or "The Bean" as I heard it called) or at least that is what the tourist guide books insist upon. But seriously, this is a must-see - 10-tons of polished steel that looks like a big blob of liquid mercury and reflects both the skyline and the people around it. Magnificent! //
DK: Fotograferet i Millennium Park, Chicago. Nu om dage kan man ikke tage til Chicago uden at se Cloud Gate (eller "Bønnen" som den også bliver kaldt) eller det er i hvert fald hvad turist bøgerne insisterer på. Men alvorligt talt, dette er et must! - 10 tons poleret stål der ligner en stor klump kviksølv og reflekterer både skylinen og folkene omkring den. Fantastisk!

The Daily Photo June 11th, 2009 // Det Daglige Foto 11. Juni, 2009

ENGLISH: Captured at Aalborg Carnival 2009. I completely had the wrong lens ready for this shot (demonstrating for the first time to me WHY the pros are running around with several cameras so they don't waste time and opportunities while changing lenses) but it's hard to pass up on a moment where 1) the subject has eye contact making for a better shot, 2) the light is almost perfect and 3) there is just killer mood and fun being had. //
DK: Taget ved Aalborg Karneval 2009. Jeg havde det fundstændigt forkerte objektiv på til dette skud (hvilket for første gang gjorde det klart for mig HVORFOR de professionelle går rundt med adskillige kamerare så de ikke spilder tid eller muligheder mens de skifter objektiv) men det er svært, at fornægte sådan et godt øjeblik hvor 1) der er øjenkontakt med motivet hvilket altid giver et bedre billeder, 2) lyset er næsten perfect og 3) der er bare kanon stemning og god atmosfære.

The Daily Photo June 10th, 2009 // Det Daglige Foto 10. Juni, 2009

ENGLISH: Captured in downtown Chicago. When briefly visiting a city that has sky scrapers, of course I had to get some shots! :D
The John Hancock Center is one of the iconic buildings of the Windy City, with it's distinctive look and weighing in a 100-stories and a height of 1,127 foot/344 m. I did a number of crops on this shot, but decided to bring the original in it's uncropped version, as I think the buildings and tree-line brings a little perspective to the impressive height of the structure when it has to be seen on a photo. //
DK: Taget i Chicago midtby. Når man kortvarigt besøger en by der har skyskrapere, naturligvis skulle jeg da have nogle billeder af det :D
John Hancock Center er en af Chicagos ikoniske bygninger, med dens særegne look and 100 etager fordelt ud på 344 meter. Jeg lavede et antal forskellige beskæringer af skuddet, men besluttede mig endeligt for at bringe den ubeskårne version, da jeg synes bygningerne og træ-kanten i toppen giver lidt perspektiv til denne bygnings imponerende højde når nu den skal ses på et foto.

The Daily Photo June 9th, 2009 // Det Daglige Foto 09. Juni, 2009

ENGLISH: Captured at Aalborg Carnival 2009. Apparently the Orcs of Mordor have found new occupation after the fall of Sauron :) This guy is part of a Dutch carnival group, they have a killer rythm section but strangely enough no dancers - I find it even stranger that no one in the Carnival committee have hooked them up with some dancers, as it seems a shame to waste good rythms.
This shot isn't as sharp as I would have liked it - the black must have fooled the auto-focus - but I just like the way this guy's eyes seem to VERY blue in the midst of all that black. //
DK: Taget ved Aalborg Karneval 2009. Mordors Orker har åbenbart fundet noget nyt at give sig til efter Saurons fald :) Denne gut er en den af en Hollandsk gruppe, de har en dræber slagtøjsektion (faktisk er de bare en stor slagtøjssektion) men underligt nok ingen dansere - jeg finder det dog endnu mere underligt, at ingen fra karnevals kommiteen har sørget for, at få prakket nogle dansere på dem, da det synes som et spild af gode rytmer.
Billedet her er ikke så skarpt som jeg kunne have ønsket det - det sorte må have narret auto-fokuset - men jeg kan rigtigt godt lide hvor UTROLIGT blå fyrens øjne her virker midt i alt det sorte.

ENGLISH: Captured at a fashion event in Aalborg - and that was a show I am happy to have attended, quite a few good shots came out of that :D This particular moment I have looked at a number of times, as I think the dark background and the lovely lady here throwing her hair about makes for a pretty good shot :) //
DK: Taget ved et mode show i Aalborg - og et jeg er temmelig glad for, at have deltaget i, da der er kommet en hel del gode skud ud af det :D Dette specifikke øjeblik har jeg kigget på en hel del gange, da jeg synes den mørke baggrund og den nydelige unge dame der her kaster lidt med håret udgør et ret godt billede :)

The Daily Photo June 5th, 2009 // Det Daglige Foto 05. Juni, 2009

ENGLISH: Bit of symmetry this week - started with it something sweet and ending it with something sweet. Closeup of the contents of a Bassetts Liquorice Allsorts box - some of my very favourite candy, and thus, something I rarely allow myself to indulge since I can go through a box like a whirlwind :D A little miss on the DoF (Depth of Field) here - but I still think it's an ok shot and it always pretty interesting to see food and candy that close. At some point, I am going to get that 5:1 macro lens for some really outstanding macro shots :) //
DK: Der er lidt symmetri i det i denne uge - begyndte den med noget sødt og afslutter den med noget sødt. Nærbillede af indholdet af en Bassetts Liquorice Allsorts box - noget af mit favorit slik, og derfor noget jeg sjældent tillader mig selv at nyde da jeg kan rykke igennem sådan en kasse på ingen tid :D Der er lige en lille misser på DoF (Depth of Field) her - men jeg synes stadigvæk det er et ok billede og det er altid sjovt at se slik og mad så tæt på. På et eller andet tidspunkt vil jeg have mig det 5:1 objektiv så jeg kan tage nogle virkelig fantastiske makro billeder :)

ENGLISH: It's been awhile since I pulled an all-nighter during a weekend that would allow me to be up just before the rising sun in the summertime, but this past weekend I had the opportunity. I decided to wing it, even though I probably should have been mounting the camera on a tripod. At any rate - I just love the colours and variation in the sky here - Mother Nature has a magnifcent touch when it comes to colouration :)
Similar vantage point, several cameras ago - click to see //
DK: Det har været nogen tid siden jeg sidst trak mig igennem en hel nat i en weekend så jeg kunne snuppe et billede lige før solen stiger i sommerperioden, men i den forgange weekend var der lige en mulighed. Jeg besluttede mig for, at tage et "skud fra hoften" udelt jeg sikkert burde have monteret kameraet på en trefod. Men i hvert fald - jeg er vild med farven og variationen på himmelen her - Moder Natur har et fantastisk gefühl når det drejer sig om farvelægning :)

ENGLISH: Captured at Odense Zoo. I don't know if this is a general thing for zoos, but at least in Denmark every respectable zoo has a petting zoo and in that petting zoo, there will be goats. Don't get me wrong - apart from the smell, I think goats are great animals - fun to watch, great for photos and so on - but perhaps goats are simply the most easy-going animal for that sort of thing?
This little guy was part of a 3-goat-gang of youngsters that were jumping around everywhere - and I really liked this shot of him enjoying a bit of close contact with one of the guests. //
DK: Taget i Odense Zoo. Jeg ved ikke om det er en generel thing for zoologiske haver, men i hvert fald i Danmark synes det at være således, at enhver zoo med respekt for sig selv har en børne-afdeling og i denne afdeling er der geder. Misforstå mig nu ikke - bortset fra lugten synes jeg faktisk geder er fantastiske dyr - sjove at se på, super at tage billeder af og så videre - men måske geder bare er de mest medgørelige dyr til den slags?
Denne lille fyr var en del af en 3-geds-bande der hoppede rundt allevegne - jeg kunne rigtigt godt lide øjeblikket her hvor han nyder lidt nærkontakt med en af gæsterne.

ENGLISH: Revisiting the salad I photographed a few weeks back. I just really liked this motif - the tossed salad making an arc and with the sunlight coming in to add a little extra. I'll be the first to admit my studio experience is negligible, so perhaps that is why I like to use natural light whenever I can :) //
DK: Et genbesøg til den salat jeg fotograferede for et par uger siden. Jeg kan bare rigtigt godt lide motivet her - den blandede salat der lige udgør en bue og sollyset der kommer ind og giver det hele lidt ekstra. Jeg skal være den første til at indrømme, at min studio erfaring er minimalistisk, så måske er det derfor jeg foretrækker at bruge naturligt lys når jeg kan :)
