Copenhagen

Copenhagen for the first time in 2 years.

So, I took the day off work, needed to do something else and get away for a day.

Also first time testing out my new Fujifilm X-T4 and also my new Samyang 8mm f/2.8 fisheye lens and while I didn’t really get any great shots, it was fun trying them both out.

I’ve never had a fisheye lens before and that thing needs to get used to shooting with, but damn it was a fun thing and well worth its rather low price. I put it on f/11 and ∞ and everything is in focus and I’m impressed of how sharp it actually is. But like I just said, it needs some adjusting and to get used to shooting with it since it’s very easy to get caught in the frame since it’s so wide.

And this was also the first time actually out shooting with the X-T4 which performed flawlessly as expected.

Here are some shots.

Fujifilm X-T4 + Fujinon XF 16mm f/1.4 R WR Took a shot a few years ago pretty much exactly at the same spot with my then Canon 5D mkIII.

More model shoots

This is fun. This week I've been to Copenhagen twice, Monday to shoot with the lovely Sara Scarlet (those shots are live now), and yesterday with the lovely Izabella. 

And in an hour I'm picking up another lovely model named Sigrid, for another shoot. 

The last two will probably be up later in the upcoming week.

Copenhagen Street Photography Part 26

First time in Copenhagen for probably 6 months or so. It nearly felt like there was a little bit of spring in the air and at times the temperature was not even that chilly and the sun was visible. 

I walked around for a few hours before heading back to Sweden again and got to experience what the poor bastards who commute back and forth over the sound everyday have to go through these days, the identity checkpoints at Kastrup (Copenhagen Airport). This sucks big time, BUT they are necessary because of the amount of refugees (actually they’re mostly non refugees) that Sweden has been over run with the last 6 months or so. 

What hit me (since it was a while since I was here last time) is that people don’t do much fun stuff, they mostly check their phones (which can be seen in a few shots) which is not that fun, but still it was nice to spend a few hours this Saturday.

So, I haven't posted any photos from Copenhagen lately, except for the ones from Copenhagen Pride which I have a few more to post, but that will come later.

So, here they are.

Prayers will get you nowhere...

Scientology. Yes, laugh about it, since it's fucking stupid...

Copenhagen Pride Pt 1.

So, this week has been the annual Copenhagen Pride festival in Copenhagen, Denmark (duh, obviously). And yesterday was the big finale and the actual parade and I went there for the first time, the first time at any pride festival actually.

I support the rights for LGBT though never been supporting before in the way that I've been there to see the parade and stuff. But now I did and it was fun and I'll do it again. 

So, as usual there will be posts in a number of parts when I feel like it, starting now.


Copenhagen Street Photography Part 23

So the trip to Copenhagen over easter was pretty okay. The weather was, well, like April weather. It was sunny and you could sense a bit of spring in the air, then minutes after it started snowing and then went back to sunny and a bit warmer again. I mean, wtf weather?!

When it comes to actual photography, it was a bit meh. Or I was a bit meh. But I've got a few to show, so enjoy.

Copenhagen Street Photography Part 20

So, I had been planning on going to Copenhagen today to try out a very much avaited new part of my photography eqipment.. But I've done something to my foot at work so I'm currently half crippled and not able to walk around without being in agony.

So, instead this day is spent planning and making up plans for future trips to for example London. I thought I should post some more shots from Copenhagen and while looking through which to post, I thought "I've been taking quite a few shots of bikes"...

Copenhagen Street Photography Part 18

Yep, more photos from Copenhagen. In this part of the world, the opportunities for doing photography when you have a full time job (plus on call duties) are not that great since the weather is usually shit and the daylight is kinda sparse at this time of the year.

So, that's why I keep on posting shots from Copenhagen, since I have a few of them.
