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.

Four meter up on the corner of a house in central Halmstad stands a statue of Duke Knut. It was made in 1985 by local sculptor, painter and printmaker Walter Bengtsson. "Duke Knut" is a real historic knight. His full name is Knut Porse and he was the Duke of Halland during the 14th century. It is said that he's the one that gave Halmstad its name.

This weekend I took the time to take a walk around my home town with my camera and my tripod. The walk was during the mild early summers night and as you can see, the moon was out.

This photo was shot with an exposure time of 15 seconds, but the rest of the photos below was shoot with an exposure time between 2 to 5 seconds. It was a lot darker in the park above than in the rest of the town.
