My kitchen is yours!

Kök som ska ner!
I took these shots yesterday for an ad on “blocket” a swedish online market place. I have this kitchen that I have to trow away but it hurts some to just trash it so we are giving it to anyone who takes it away for us. :D not sure anyone wants it but maybe there is someone out there that has a little summerhouse that needs a fully working kitchen. And these colors are details are sooo cool I think. :)

Escort MK1 with 500hp+

Trying out the new Lightroom 2.1, these shots were taken with SD14 + 120-300 and 50mm 1.4. (Sigmas). I did add lots of vignetting, so don’t blame sigma. ;) I’m not satisfied with Lightrooms way of handling the RAW Foveon data BUT I’m VERY happy with Adobes approach with DP1 images. In their latest RAW update for Photoshop and Lightroom there is support and it’s more vibrant and better color separation than Sigmas photo pro. I’ll do some more tests and share later.

I think I’ll redevelop these and see what they could look like using SPP 3.2 + Aperture. Just for fun! :D

Jon and Carolina | Wedding session

SDIM0820

Another really fun wedding session, this time a bit north or everything in a town called Mariestad - more famous for it’s fine beer. It was a bit tricky as Linn is now working down south as a guide on a castle and she couldn’t be my assistant. I really wanted that - so we improvised and used the best man for the job. Lucky for Jon and Carolina, it worked great! You can actually see him on several shots.

Oh, I also improved my car shooting style thingi - fun stuff! Lucky for me we had the time needed to play.

Cameras used was SD14 and DP1 - I had many lenses with me - more or less all but I ended up using the trusty 12-24 the most as I love the cokin filter border effect so much. Second place I think is 30 or 50mm 1.4 not sure as 50 is so new for me I tend to reach for the 30mm. 120-300 does give me joy when needed. It’s not very easy to find good occations or locations for it but when it’s time then it’s great!

I also noticed a slight magenta cast in some of the “just out of the church” shots - just so you know. :D

Sigma 50mm F1.4 | First look!

Sigma 50mm f1.4 first shots.
Just received the new Sigma 50mm F1.4 and due to heavy sunshine I couldn’t really in a fair way try it wide open - but even if the above shot is taken at F4 the bokeh is amazingly sweet.

I was thinking it would be bigger. a whopping 500g piece of glass could have been heavier. It’s pretty short and very fat somehow - gives a very cool impression - big opening that tell you I’M BRIGHT.

Sigma 50mm f1.4 first shots.
Alright, another shot at F2.5 and a shutter speed of 1/3200s. A friend holding a reflector to even out the light a bit. The widest I could go was F2 - so here goes another shot at F2.

Sigma 50mm f1.4 first shots.
(This one is not perfectly focused, it’s kind of hard at F2 - hard training lays ahead)

I will try hard the coming days to find other things to photograph and hopefully I’ll be back with some nice pics.
