Vikersund Ski jumping

Last weekend I shoot picture during the Ski jumping World Championships trails in Vikersund.
With a World record of 246,5 meter Friday and victory to Norwegian Johan Remen Evensen Saturday and second place Sunday, the atmosphere throughout the weekend was great. Here are some of my favourites, including a sideshow of Johan Remen Evensens 240 meter jump Saturday.

På skitur med Google

Før jul investerte jeg i langrennsski. I barndommen sutret jeg hver gang jeg fikk spent langrennski på beina, nå er jeg i ferd med å få dilla. Å komme seg ut i marka er fint, når man kan i tillegg kan logge hvor man går med app´s som Runkeeper er det en perfekt kombinasjon for en teknologiinteressert og trenings-glad fyr som meg.

Photo assignment

My second wedding photography assignment this year, shooting pictures for Hanne and Lars Morten. Congratulations !
Clouded, and with rain on it´s way, we just managed to shoot before it started pouring down. Using two speed lights, I had two different set ups.

  • Both speed lights 45 degrees on, using reflectors.
  • One on 200 degrees for back light, and one at 0 degrees shooting through a white umbrella

The picture of Hanne and Lars Morten with Lars Morten best man Espen, and Hannes maid of honor Ingunn, is two speed lights 45 degrees on. I´m starting to like flash photography, just wish I had a third speed light..

Wallpaper

I bought a new apartment in February, which I spent quite a lot of time and money in remodeling. With complements from Polen and my friends I have gotten the apartment the way I wanted it. One of the things that I did this week was to put up wallpaper in my bedroom. Being in love with ocean, I thought it would be a good idea to give my bedroom a touch if ocean. I asked photographer and kiteboarder Bryan Elkus to use one of his pictures from Cape Hatteras, and with help from my colleague and friend Kaare Øystein Trædal, I got it the way I wanted. Thanks guys!

Photo library memories

After I got my new Hackintosh up and running, I have so much storage. I decided to add some of my older pictures to my Lightroom library. Running Snow Leopard, I´m also able to run Lightroom in 64 bits mode. I am not sure how much faster it is since I need more time with it, but rendering RAW images is quicker. Anyway, I found this picture from a trip to Haugastøl almost 3 years ago. I was windy, but bad weather, I was in the car almost the entire day. I was bored, and took this picture. I kind of like it.
