Second snow…

In Norway you never can be sure that the winter is over. We had bare streets for almost two weeks, and then we woke up to this winter wonderland. It lasted only for one day though.

All prints are with the John S Lens and the AO DLX Film.

Not walking today…

I was planning for a Hipstawalk today, but somebody left the tap open… It is not raining, its pouring down. I have drowned one iPhone in the rain, so today I stay inside…

All prints are the Johan S Lens, and the BlacKeys B+W Film.

Blue, Red and White…

My favorite soccer team, Vålerenga, played their first match in the Norwegian cup yesterday. They beat their opponent, Oldenborg 12-1.

Our colors are Blue, Red and White, and our beautiful flags were set against the blue sky.

Again, I was tricked into being on a picture… :)

One of our players had his debut yesterday, Yssouf Koné. He have been injured for a long time, but finally he has started to play!

Full color prints are the Blanko Noir Film. The rest are the BlacKeys B+W. All prints are the John S Lens.

Much ado about nothing…

Much ado about nothing is a comedy by William Shakespeare, but this title just popped into my head now. There hasn't been much ado about anything today. I walked for almost 8 miles in the fantastic weather. It has been a beautiful day in Oslo today, with temperatures reaching more than 83℉. And that is not bad to be late in april.

Since its easter, the city was calm and quiet today.

These prints are just a collection of some I shot today. I like the harsh lines that shadows and sun creates. The first print is actually a shadow cast by the hard sun on a wall.

And I met some grazing geese, who for a change, didn't mind me at all. I also added a self portrait today. Self portraits into the sun is very flattering I think… Not… :)

All prints are the John S Lens, and BlacKeys B+W Film.

Spring feelings…

The spring is a little hesitant these days. Tuesday it was cold and raining, but on wednesday everything cleared, and the sun came out. Everyday there are more and more signs of spring. One of the best is everything on two wheels are put on the streets again.

The Dandelion flower always amazes me. It is not picky about location, and not even concrete or asphalt are able to stop it.

And I had to take some more pictures of my favorite and local church, Vålerenga Kirke.

All prints are John S lens, the films are BlacKeys B+W and Blanko Noir (full color).

Into the sun…

Sometimes, the effect of the hard sun directly into the lens can be cool. As I have mentioned before, the iPhone 4 lens creates some very distinct patterns. here are some of the prints from one of my Hipstawalks. I like the last shot best, it looks like two big yellow eyes staring.

All prints are John S Lens and Ina's 1935 Film, except for #6 which is the Melodie Lens.

Hipstafashion lV

This is the last part of my Hipstafashion series. I used three iPhones (3G, 3GS, 4). On the iPhone 3G, I have the "old" Hipstamatic 155. And of course that gives an extra challenge. I used John S Lens and the Pistil Film. The camera on this iPhone is to put it mildly, bad. :) Most of the prints are unsharp, or too grainy to use. This again creates "artbyaccident", and I think these are really cool prints.

Hipstafashion part lll

This is the third part of my Hipstafashion series. The iPhone 4 (all prints) are superior to the other iPhones. And it will give you the little extra in difficult light conditions. It still is very grainy, but there are better contrasts, and color rendering. All prints are John S Lens and BlacKeys B+W Film.

Hipstafashion part ll

This is part II of Hipstafashion. First and last prints is iPhone 3GS, 2 middle are iPhone 4. All prints are John S Lens, and BlacKeys B+W Film. With light conditions like this, it gives the prints a "dirty" look. The iPhone 3GS gets a little to fuzzy, because of the lower resolution. Still I like the feel.
