Tomorrow’s the day! I’ll be joining the leaders Roger Madsen and Amy Archer for the Malmö edition of Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photowalk. Roger and Amy did some scouting in Malmö on beforehand, which I think is a really good idea. I haven’t had time to do that the last days, but I went through my Flickr stream to find some Malmö photos for inspiration.
I’m a member of the Copenhagen based photo club KFAK (Københavns Fotografiska Amatør Klub). I was so lucky that my photo of an escalator at Copenhagen Central Station won the monthly competition of march 2009. KFAK has a nice habit of using the winning photos in their program brochure, which is now out for the autumn season, and mine made the cover! There are lots of great photos in this brochure, check it out. If you live in or outside Copenhagen you should learn about KFAK. It’s a nice photo club with lots of activities and competitions. It’s got its own dark room too.
And here’s the brochure, with my photo on the cover:
Some of my readers remember my post-process competition “They’re coming!“. I was not sure if anyone would participate, but I am happy to announce that I’ve had 11 participants!
I’ve carefully and closely looked them through in order to give you a final verdict on which picture is the best. I’ve also tried to include a comment on what was good and what can be improved. Here are the results!

This is pretty neat. My photo of the US election followers has been included in a publication* by the organisation “UN Millennium Campaign”. Please see the URL at the bottom of this post.

Me and my girlfriend have just been on the week long “Nordic Fjords” cruise with Costa Cruises. I took lots of pictures (obviously), some are already in my flickr feed in the set Costa Cruise Fjordspotting.
More of that to come, but I wanted to dedicate this post to panorama photography. I shot some panorama material, not much that turned out OK, but this one is pretty neat. The dynamic range was huge, so I shot with bracketing in order to be able to do some HDR cheating afterwards. But back with my laptop on the boat, I found out that I did not need to combine the exposures anyways – the middle one was perfect. I prefer to do my stitching in PTGui, but my PTGui beta version did not wanna run, and just told me that I needed to upgrade – pretty frustrating when you have no Internet access. So the job was given to Adobe Photoshop CS3, which did an amazing job.
8 shots, 18mm, 1/3200 sec, ƒ/5.6. Final result is 13456*3890px.
Post processing: Sharpen, crop and some S-curves with masks on sky and select parts of the snow.
