This is a Troll Walker that belong to the "Imperial revenge" theme I introduced earlier. It was designed with LEGO Digital Designer and built after I received the pieces I needed from the Pick-a-brick store. I very happy with the result. If you can't tell, I decided to play with the brightness/contrast curves to make the pictures look like professional product photos.

The Walker is meant to be a quick light weight vehicle used for scouting. It does not offer much protection to the driver because the Trolls believe shielding one-self is cowardly.

After accidentally finding a tunnel that look nice in a long exposure photograph, I looked to see if other tunnels looked cool in long exposure photographs. I failed to find a tunnel that was as cool, but wanted to share my findings anyway. Here are two different tunnels I photographed. In the second one, the lights had been spray-painted red. Which is why they shine pink.

Two pictures taken on an industrial plot. Compared to all the other pictures I think these two pictures look great. The objects I have photographed doesn't suffer by the cameras shortcomings.

My finger got a place in the corner again.

This is my first little LEGO vignette. I choose to build it because I wanted to introduce a LEGO theme of my own creation. I have named the vignette and the theme with the same name: Imperial revenge.

The visually the theme is inspired by the Warhammer 40k universe. Specifically the Imperial Guard and Space Orc armies. I have though thought up a whole backstory to the theme to make it more unique (Yes, I'm that geeky). As you can see, the theme revolves around the conflict between Humans and Space Trolls. I'll probably reveal more about the back story as I post more pieces in this theme (I have several planed).

I did experiment with the brightness in the pictures to see if I could make them look just like professional product shoots, but decided to keep the pictures a little gray and dull. I think the dullness fits with the overall feeling in photos.

On the human figure I choose to use a head with a smart little grin. I wanted to show that the Humans really hate the Trolls.

When I owned and used an APS camera I was still living with my parents and took a lot of photos in the forest around their house. To take these pictures I had turn off the flash (only setting I could change) and used my mothers tripod to stabilizes the camera. I was tempted to crop some of these pictures before posting them, but decided against it. I want to show of the pictures as they look like on paper when developed by a regular photo store.

I haven't posted any pictures of my Kalanchoe cutting for a very long time. It has really grown a lot, I'm amazed by how fast it grow to its current size. To bad I think I'll need to cut it down. It is really just a matter of time before the whole plant tips over.

I recently dug up some old film cartridge and got them developed digitally. I thought it would be nice to have digital copies of my old photos. While looking through them I find a few that I thought it would be fun to post here. Not because they are the best pictures in the world, but because they are how picture look like when shot with a cheap APS camera. Many of the pictures have a lot of noise in them and the colors are pale (and the fact that it was my first camera and I was just starting to photograph does really add to quality either). The pictures were all shoot between 1999 and 2001.

I like this picture. The vignetting (darkness in the corners) is a sign of cheap camera for me, but I think it adds to the picture.

The pale colors reminds me of old post cards.

A lot of stuff has happen since the last update. I have replanted many flowers and have started to cultivate many more new flowers.

A few French marigold have been placed in their final locations. Here is a picture on two of them.

This is the coat of arms for the Swedish province named Halland. It is the province in which the city of Halmstad (and me) is in. This coat of arms I photographed is placed on the building for the province's administrative board, which is called Länstyrelsen.

The colors are, as you can see, very dull. I'm guessing that is because the sign might be at least as old as me (almost 30 years that is). It is not because my camera is bad.

Walking along the beach one Friday evening produced these pictures on sea shells.

My latest LEGO creation, a small mobile park. It is a concept that was inspired by the Mobil pool in a Simpsons episode. At first I only thought about it as a silly thing, but I then though it could have been a part of a dystopian world where people don't have access to green areas. If I had own more bricks, I would have build a gray urban surrounding to place the park in.

The little lilac buds have turned into little lilac flowers. Pretty flowers.
