Flame

In Oslo on February 13, 2010.

M7, 35mm Nokton, Tri-X, Rodinal.

The seventh dummy

And the third one from Oslo this week, from the same day again.

Dummy no. five

Here it wasn't the display dummy but rather the TV screen in the shop window that caught my attention, but the photo fits into this small series anyway.  Oslo again, February 13, 2010.

Dummies in Oslo

I decided to do a "theme week" starting today. The next days will all be about display dummies and we'll start with this one from Oslo, taken on February 13, 2010.

Welcome

This is how you are (sometimes) greeted when you're entering Oslo's airport Gardermoen.

Taken on February 17, 2010 with the M7 and the 35mm Nokton. Film was Neopan 400 developed in Rodinal.

Shadows and light

Is this one too abstract? I don't think so. But I know that it came out pretty much the way I expected. It's the wall of the train station below Oslo's airport seen through a glass pane and I wanted to achieve exactly this "painterly" look.

The photo was taken a few minutes before I took this one with the same camera and film.

Also note that there's a nice Joni Mitchell album with the same title.

Five-finger exercise

Waiting for a plane on an airport is boring, especially if you have to do it often. And rarely do I shoot any interesting photos there - if I take photos at all. This view out of a window on a dull and rainy day was the last frame on a roll of XP2 and it turned out to be the best one. Not because it's so good, but because the rest was even worse...

Edit: Well, two months later I actually found another shot that I like. To quote the first chancellor of West Germany: "Was interessiert mich mein Geschwätz von gestern!"

November 20, 2009 with the M4-P and the 50mm Summicron on Oslo's airport Gardermoen.

Crosswalk

This is the first photo on this blog that was cropped, albeit only by two or three percents at the top edge. I usually refrain from cropping and with film photos I'd rather not use a picture instead of taking something away, but in this case it was a digital photo and by cropping away a distracting car tire, the composition became much stronger in my opinion.

Taken on May 2 this year with the digital Leica and the 35mm Summicron in Oslo at ISO 160. Converted with Silver Efex Pro.
