Norway is amongst many this, the land of tunnels. Long unlit tunnels that is. They are a bit unnerving for someone that is not used to drive trough tunnels at all. It best to let someone else to drive and photograph them from the passenger seat instead.

In case you are wondering, the "lights" are reflector.

It looks like last years flowers managed to spread a few seeds. A few Jasmine tobacco plants and what looks like a sunflower are growing nicely right under my balcony.

Edit: Before this post got published, the flowers got weeded out. It's a little sad that I won't get to see the Sunflower bloom.

Our second stop in Norway was the small village named Mandal. It is a nice place on the south coast filled with small white houses. It was a nice place to visit and walk around in for a day.

The first stop on our vacation in Norway was Oslo. A stop we made because we wanted to visit a few museums there. One of them was the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History. It's an open air museum that contains many old building of various age and the one I was most interested in seeing was the Gol stave church. It is a type of church that, I far as I know, doesn't exist in Sweden. I wanted to see it because I probably won't see another one again. I like the design of the church, kinda medieval looking.

This is a photo on Halmstad I shoot from a beach south of Halmstad. This shoot was done in the middle of the night and the exposure time was about 2 minutes. I want to go back to that beach another night. I believe I can make an even better photo if I try some more.

One of the few tall building in Halmstad. It has 22 stories and it looks like a skyscraper compared to the buildings around it. I have been wanting to photograph the building for a long time, but didn't get the time to do so until recently. This photo was shot on a warm summer evening.

This is the oldest bridge in Halmstad. It was built in 1879 and is still used by both pedestrians and cars. I shoot these photos using two new filters I bought for my camera. One ND-filter [Länk] specifically bought for long exposure during the day and one Polarizing filter because the ND-filter wasn't enough. I wanted as long exposures as I could get. The longest I got on the bridge and river was 0.4 second.

I've found two pictures on my hard drive that are from two old photos I took in New York 1997. I remember scanning them in the same of or so. So they have been collection dust for many years on my hard drive. I thought it would be fun to share them with internet on my blog.

The famous pre-2001 New York silhouette.

The view from Empire state building.

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.

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.
