Fun with coffee..

Linn is pretty active in some Chinese photo-forums and they have these missions that they give eachother. This time it’s about coffee and well, I became assistant! Nice. :D These are two of the resulting pictures, the rest can be seen over at Linns blog - put together in a very Chinese fashion with texts etc. We did that i Apple Pages.

Oh, and in a couple of days my USB sound card will arrive and I can do a screener with RD. I’m thinking about making a series. My problem so far has been that I can’t use my Hackintosh because no mic in. there is one but not supported. So a USB sound card will solve this and make everything much more fun.

AND one last thing. Jeff Sickel has begun the hard work with a Quicklook plugin for X3F files and all I can say is WOW! I had a chance to try it and it works better than I thought. Thanks Jeff. It will become public when Jeff is done. Update! Jeff is DONE! :D see http://www.rytterfalk.com/2008/01/22/apple-quicklook-x3f-plugin/

Excet 29/12 | Aveny.se

My first satuday and my second time at this very club. It was not as crowded as last time. I start to become good friend with the Sigma 500DG flash. Together with Sigma 30mm @ F1.6 we’re a great team.

See the rest from this very evening over at www.aveny.se

Locatelli 28/12 | Aveny.se

For the sake of speed I used Lightroom for developing and I’m sure I could squeeze quite some more feeling out of these with Raw Developer or Sigma Photo Pro 2.3.

Tranquilo | Aveny.se

I’ve started to take pictures for Aveny.se as a so called “vimmelfotograf” Not sure about the english translation but you understand the meaning a guess. :) It’s lots of fun. This very session I forgot to use RAW - and all these are more or less straight out from the SD14. I think they look great! (Hi - Fine mode)

Going off line for a while…

I’m taking a small vacation for the internet and computer. Will use it for images and work only but I will try to spend tops two hours a day with it if possible. At least till new year.

Until then you might wanna see this little flash movie that I’ve shown to some of my readers but I decided that maybe everyone could get a little something from it. It’s a “in action” movie showing me working with Lightroom and Raw Developer. A screen cast thing.

Download rd.flv. (you might need a player such as VLC or some flash thingi from adobe)

So if a comment goes unanswered you know why. :) Happy Christmas!

Göteborg - QTVR At sunset

gbgI was visiting Göteborg today and I brought my pano equipment with me and decided to try a HDR (High dynamic range) movie. I set the camera at HI and at tripple exposures. This is the result. Click the image for a closer look. The full is too big, so this is a smaller one. Besides, with three exposures per image in a city that moves - not everything will be perfect. Tree is moving, birds are flying and people isn’t still. Even buses and cars are playing games with me.

Observations about MED resolution..

Here’s three pictures from a wedding I shot this summer. For some reason I don’t remember I had switched to MED resolution (1776×1184) Looking at these makes me think that maybe I would gain something. These are unaltered, just exported from Lightroom. Nothing changed from RAW. For me it looks very much like my old slide-film. I think this feeling is partly due to the use of VPS. (pixels stacked together to gather more light)

Sigma SD14 - ISO100 - Sigma 12-24
RAW Medium resolution (1776 x 1184 x 3)

XiaoGang and Maria wedding pictures


Click above picture to get full size view. Lens: 12-24 @12mm with some plastic in front of the lens.

[edit, text updated #2] We had a great time at the Wedding and I shot something like 700 photos - 83 of them are now published. Their full names was Zeng Xiao Gang and Maria Ådahl - the new name is unknown. [EDIT: Putt Mr and Mrs before, no other changes are made] :D I was too busy taking pictures to listen. Maria, maybe you could add a comment about it?! These pictures will now find its way into a picture book.

click for all 83The black corners a due to a filter thread that I use sometimes with my wide angles. (I got it very recently) It’s something that could be described as a “sky saver” a faded one stop saving plastic. I felt very happy about using it because it gave me the feeling of 6×6 (you can easily see the black left / right frame on some pictures). It’s much more fun to balance the picture this way (and I got more powerful skies at the same time).

I still wonder why there isn’t any 35mm digital SLR’s that has a square image. That would be so nice! You would never have to think in terms of landscape / portrait any longer. Just like in the good old days!
