I could definitely retire here.
Music to come if I find the free time and motivation to write some entries. Soundcloud has been ALIVE with incredible music lately.

See you space cowboy.
the sky picture— you took a landscape for once! awesome!
ReplyDeleteyou were also able to negotiate the exposure so that the land and the sky were both exposed properly— is this an HDR shot or is it a morning/evening shot with the sun behind you?
moving up, those waterspouts, i like the shutter speed you used on that— i don't know if you intended it this way but it looks like ice at first glance. you might be interested in this blog i read the other day:
http://ronbigelow.com/articles/waterfalls-2/waterfalls-2.htm
although it discusses waterfalls, it can apply to water in many different circumstances.
for the coke bottle shot, i have a question that isn't related to photography— does the coke over there have real sugar in it? over here the US the only time you can get real sugar in coke is during passover, and then you also have the option of mexican coke— but mexican coke is bootleg coke, it's not really made by the coke company and since mexico has super low health standards i avoid it.
back to the bottle, i like your mis en scène (do you call it that when it's a still picture? maybe it's composition?) where you put so many icons of industry, the metal rail, the coke bottle and the factory lights in the background, and then you have the flower sprouting out of it all in the centre, it's nice symbolism— although next time it would be cool if the flower was more centred in the shot, but then again it might be too far zoomed out to really make it pop? i don't know, something to think about.
i really like the two fall pictures. i've always thought fall in new york city would be romantic or something, but i've never been that far north. i bet the fall in sweden is much like it is in NYC, here in the south we don't have an extended fall. it's still indian summer here, and fall is pretty much "it gets really cold one day and all the leaves turn brown". nice contrast between the blue park bench and the red leaf.
i have to say the wine picture doesn't do anything for me. maybe i'm missing something but it just seems rather boring. maybe it's because i've spilled so many wine glasses in my house i see that all the time.
the graffiti pictures are also cool. was that person actually doing that at the time you took it or was it staged? if they were really doing that at the time it shows how much more open sweden is to that kind of thing. i've heard there are some graffiti artists out there that work in the US but stay anon and work at night so they don't get in trouble.
