The few whole bubbles I had the luck to get in focus.

This bubble was quite close to me when photographed. You can see me with the camera in it.

These are a few pictures I captures while my girlfriend was entertain children by blowing bubbles. And yes, she was also doing it to entertain me as well. She knew I wanted to try photograph soap bubbles. I hope I will get the opportunity to photograph bubbles again, because I would like to see if I could improve on the pictures.

A photo I took on the flight home. I was bored and started to photographing the seat in front of me.

I think it is fitting to end my series of Mayrhofen photos with one from the flight home.

While in Mayrhofen I took a few minutes of my time to photo people jumping of the big ramps. I didn't take that many pictures, because felt I like snowboarding than photographing the day I was at the park. These are the three best picture from that quick photo session.

In the beginning of February, I together with 3 friends went on a trip to the the Austrian village Mayrhofen for a week of snowboarding and skiing. The trip and the sickness that fell over me after the trip is the reason this blog wasn't updated that much during February. But that is a small price to pay for a nice skiing trip. Mayrhofen was a fun place to visit and I can't wait for the next skiing trip to take place. As usual I took my camera with me and took a lot photos. Mostly on mountains, but other things were also caught on camera.

Below is three photos from the trip that did fit into any of the other Mayrhofen blog posts I'm planning to write.

Here is the second post with photos from the evening when we played with sparklers [länk]. In this post I'm showing off the photos in which we were also using the flash. The photos were created by using the Bulb mode and setting the flash to fire right before the shutter closes. To explain more thoroughly, my girlfriend presses the trigger and the shutter opens and I start to move around the sparkler. When I'm satisfied with the "drawing", I positioned myself in the pose I want to have on the picture and tell my girlfriend to released the trigger. As soon as the trigger is released, the flash goes off and the shutter closes. Effectively combining a long exposure picture with a quick flash-lit picture.

Me, my girlfriend and a friend went out an evening to a dark small tunnel and played around with our cameras and a few sparklers. Using the sparklers combined with the Bulb mode on my camera, we could draw burning lines in the air. If you are unfamiliar with Bulb mode, I can tell you it's a function that allows you to keep the shutter open for as long you press the trigger. Meaning that we could stop the exposure as soon we were done drawing with the sparklers. The pictures from the evening will be posted in two separate posts. Because on some photos I set the flash to trigger right before the shutter closed and I want to have those photos in a post of their own.

On the photos below, we alternated who held the sparklers and who stood behind the camera. So in some pictures it's me drawing the lines and on others it's my girlfriend.

To commemorate the memory of my departed friend Gullberg, me and a few friends spent the evening after Christmas day sending up lantern into the sky. The act of sending up sky lanterns is always a beautiful event, but hard to photograph because of the low light conditions. Below is my three favorite photos from the event. All photos from the event can be found here (Note that the photos below are all cut)

This is the resulting "constellation" of sky lanterns. We sent up a lot of them, but because of strong winds and cloudy sky most of them vanished from view quite quickly.

While in Hemsedal, I caught a few snowboarders while they were doing jumps in the snowboard park. The weather wasn't optimal (to cloudy) but a few decent photos were shoot.

I have been out bowling and as you can see I brought my camera with me. I think bowling is fun, but not as fun as photographing. Between throws I stood with my camera in my hands. Sadly the bowling hall wasn't so brightly light as one would think. I had to use the highest ISO setting to avoid blurry pictures with my telephoto lens. Many thanks to my girlfriend that was nice enough to provide me with many strikes to photographs.

Photos I took a couple of years ago. I think it was with my first digital camera. I can definitely see a difference in quality compared to my current camera. Nevertheless I like the photos.

On my last day at Chamonix, these glider where everywhere. I have no idea what they are called, where they came from or where they landed. Saw no airplane and didn’t see any good landing spots in the valley. Maybe they just jumped of a cliff and didn’t care very much about where they landed.
