The Nordic World Championships in Holmenkollen Oslo Norway 2011 are over. I`ve been lucky to be a apart of this event up close, taking pictures for skiforeningen.no. It has been a great event, and a good experience for me as a photographer. These are my pick outs:

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.

Oslo´s pride and joy, Holmekollen ski jumping hill is being rebuild for the 2011 Nordic Ski World Championship. Last week I was up there with NXC for a guided tour, and I took some pictures

This old lady is one of many nice neighbors that I have. She waters our flower beds, and has been doing so for 35 years. She is also often seen sitting outside on one of our beaches. On my way out today, I took a picture of her ( ask asked for permission after..)

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.

Meeting an old friend

After hocking up on Facebook almost a year ago, I finally managed to meet be old army college buddy, Anders. I had not seen Anders since we graduated 11 years ago, so I was pretty excited. After living in different part of northern Norway, Anders and he´s family moved back to were he and his wife Tone grew up, Senja. This is Norways second biggest island, and is the northern part of Norway, a 2 hour flight from Oslo.

On saturday, Anders took me around the island, and it has some pretty stunning nature.
The weather was not all that great though, something I really felt on our mountain trip, 30 knots and snow. Not exactly a walk in the park. But all in all we had a great weekend with catching up, good food, FIFA 09, mountain trip and I got to meet Anders and Tone´s kids, Erik and Frida and Anders parents.
