/I FINALLY DID IT

Alexander — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 20:25:07 +0000

Yes, i finally got around and bought my first Leica lens… The “Summicron 35mm f2 ASPH”. Leica lenses are known to be the best in the class and i have to say that this lens really is something else. It’s extremely well built, the sharpness wide open is the best i’ve ever seen and the colors are nice and true.

Here is an example of the colors this little masterpiece is capable of delivering. (.dng straight out of camera, no post, shot wide open @ f2)

And here’s another example of the colors. This shot was taken on a real cloudy evening. In my eyes the colors are much more realistic then what i’ve got from all my other lenses straight out of camera. (.dng straight out of camera, no post, shot wide open @ f2)

last but not least we have the bokeh (out of focus blur) This lens has maybe the best looking bokeh i’ve ever seen!! It’s creamy and soft with no sign of ghosting, even in the highlights. This was just some boring “test-shots” i’ll post some real world pictures later this week so you all can see how this lens looks when it’s used for normal work. (B/W street photography in my case)

/BACK ON THE STREETS

The summer holiday is over and Im now back in Oslo. I had a fantastic vacation in Indonesia but now Im back…

I didn’t bring my leica to Indo so it felt like meeting an old friend when i picked up the M8 and went for a walk the other day.

/DARK CLOUDS

Alexander — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 17:26:00 +0000

Dark clouds have moved in over the city. On friday July 22 Anders Behring Breivik changed Oslo forever… He placed a bomb in the city center that killed 8 people and later drove out to the island of Utøya and killed another 69.

Oslo in not and will never be the same after this horrible act. There are not words that can explain how people are feeling (myself included). I’ve talked to a lot of people that where close when the bomb went off and their stories are far from pleasant.

Considering the damages caused by the bomb it still amazes me that “only” 8 people lost their lives in Oslo city, but thats still a big number when you thing of the size of the city…

The city of Oslo is now filled with flowers to honor those who lost their lives, this ocean of flowers right outside of the church on Stortorvet here in the city really made me realize the impact of this horrible hate-crime… I cannot think of another time when i have felt luckier to be alive…

/FLARE

Alexander — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 20:28:00 +0000

Got flare? …Well i do! It’s a new and really cool little app for mac that lets you bring some “flare” to your images. It’s a real simple interface with one-click presets or you can create your own look from scratch. It’s not a software you’ll use on a regular basis but can be quite cool at times. You’ll find more about flare here
