04:54 pm: Yesterday my new lens Tamron 60/2 arrived
And two hours later was I out shooting with it :).
All of the shown pictures, are taken with the lens fully open at f/2. As I wanted to see, how the lens behaved at that point, and also necessary when shooting at night, as I don't like the picture quality of my camera after iso 800.

09:28 pm: The garden house

Taken in Gamle Estrup Museum

I have a fondness music videos, who tries to be a little more than half naked people who dances. For me they can be an interesting mix of commercialism and art. Probably also the same reason for why I like fan vids.

The Danish music group Nephew. Invited a group of different artist to make a vid over one of their song, to their new album. I liked the results even if they are low budget productions.
Link to two of them.
Focus on the sound (mostly in English)
and
Det her sker bare ikk ( This can not be happening) (in danish but it's more instrumental)

Tomorrow of to the yearly family hunt.

10:13 am: Quote from a Guardian article about cannibal galaxies and the vastness of space.

I feel like a sprite in an outdated platform game desperately straining to comprehend the machine code that put me there, even though that isn't my job: my job is to jump between two moving clouds and land feet-first on a mushroom without ever questioning why

03:10 pm: Job is still hard / stressing but that is how it is, when you work in the tourist sector. So I don’t have had much time to shoot photos, and I have also not commented on so many of your posts, as I would have liked to.

But anyway some landscape/plant photos taken the last fourteens days, in walking distance from where I live. I have tried to post proces the colors to emulate somewhat the Kodak-chrome colours.

07:42 pm: Skagen pictures
Skagen is a village at the top of Denmark. Where my family at my father side comes. It's now popular holiday area with, but the main trade fishing is still important.

I was with my parents on little day trip to Skagen and Skagens museum and the areas around it. It was somewhat strange for me to look at the paintings there, and think that it's only three generations time ago, that it was a dirt poor a fishing village.


( larger and more pictures from the area around it )

07:37 pm: Happy Birthday ladystarlightsj, or tillykke med fødselsdagen

12:51 am: Iceland
Iceland is a country, that most Danes feel some kind familiarity with, and generally have a positive view of the country. People was a little mystified when the Icelanders, in Iceland's boom years, could year after year get a growth that surpassed our own. And it became a show case example, for liberal politicians here, when they argued for liberating the Danish economy to the same extent as the Icelandic.

Up to the crack there came more analysis from Denmark, and other places outside Iceland. Who questioned the sustainability of the Icelandic banking, but perhaps because of colonial past it seems, that there was a mistrust of foreign motives, for these reports.

Vanity Fair have an interestin article here "Wall Street on the Tundra" Even if it's horrible sterotypical in its description of the Icelanders.
