Photography course

Today I held my first photography course. I have to say that it went pretty well, and I hade some very nice people as "pupils", that was eager to learn and had loads of questions which is great.

I held it in the outdoors at Kullaberg Nature Reserve, it was hot and with an intense sun which is not exactly the perfect photography conditions, but still some photos were taken in the shade and I think we all had a nice time and I think and hope that my "pupils" learnt heaps of stuff.

In all it was fun and I think I might do this again.

 

Compact camera

So, I've got this little Canon IXUS 220HS which is for its price a really nice little camera that gives you pretty good images in good light and is very small. It feels rugged and I've dropped it straight down into pavement which it survived but with dents and scratches as a result. Still works perfectly. I like the idea of always having a camera with me (and to be honest, a smartphone does not beat a real camera, not even a compact one. The thing is that since I normally only shoot in RAW format, which gives you that extra control over the finished picture, it lacks something since it doesn't support RAW.

But I've ordered this Sony RX100 for my regular day job (which is not as a photographer, far from it)  and I've taken it home to try it out a little. And so far it's pretty fucking sweet and I am considering eventually getting one myself. I will probably write back when I've tried it out a little bit more.

A new start

This is the first post I'm making here on my new website.

I've been blogging on and off before, now I hope I' can be more consistant with filling it with posts. BUT the frequency will still depend on time and inspiration (like photography).

Anyhow, thanks for stopping by.
