Monday Night Drinking Club I

Every Monday we go to Dronning Louise and drink beer that our local bartender, Chris, has found for us. November 7th he'd dug up Eku beer from the october fest. After christmas I expect we'll be drinking christmas ale until easter, and after easter I'm looking forward to the easter ale. :-) Shot at f/2.8 with 1600 ISO in 1/60 second at a 75mm distance.

Christmas music

We just had our christmas party at the conservatory. It was a smashing party, and while we were dancing around the tree, our headmaster played the organ

Horn faces

Preben

Fetter Preben decided all the sudden to pose for me so I had to take a shot which turned out quite funny. ;-) Shot with f/2.5 at 100 ISO in 1/80 second

Horn

This is Bjarke in action with Martin at his side. I only brought along the 50mm f/1.4 lens to the concert as I planned on dancing quite a bit. It's always good fun dancing with the camera on my back, but their bug, rock, cha-cha and swing was too excelent not to. Shot with f/1.4 at 1600 ISO in 1/250 second.Update: I submitted this as my entry to the Thursday Challenge: Sound

Søren

For the next 5 days I'll present pictures from the concert with Nosey Joe and the Dirty Boogies. This is Søren, the main vocalist, shot with f/2.0 at 1600 ISO (whoops, but I often start out this way early in the concert and then work my way down to 400 ISO) in 1/250 second

Michael 3

At Truels' thursday café I got this shot of Michael. Taken with f/3.5 (with the adapter that becomes f/4.0) at 3200 ISO (yikes! I always shoot black & white when I shoot at 3200 ISO) in 1/25 second.

Purple II

And this concludes the Rain Dogs concert. As I'm sure you've noticed there's quite a lot of footwork in such a concert. But it was a lot of fun, the audience didn't mind me (but some actually came up to me to suggest some shots), and the band did an occational pose when they saw me. This last picture was taken with f/1.4 at 400 ISO in 1/125 second.

Imperfect horse

I'm sorry for the interruption in my daily posting schedule, but I'm submitting this picture for Photo Friday's Imperfection challenge. I just received the 100mm Promaster Macro lens and had it fitted on my bellows. Finally my manual macro shooting set is complete. My previous try at shooting this horse was with the 58mm M42 lens

Machiatto

Look at the definitions for Macchiato. To make it all more confusing, I've called my coffee Machiatto. It's a single shot of espresso with a little bit of steamed skimmed milk and a bit of foam on top. Here in a Jägermeister shot glass next to my espresso machine. Taken at f/4.5 at 1600 ISO in 1/15 second. PS, my understanding of a macchiato is a shot of espresso with full a little bit of full cream that has been slightly whipped (this is how the coffee bar Fredrik at the University of Oslo makes it). And since I'm not too fond of cream, the Machiatto is a great improvement.

Cloudy

A bit of the halloween spirit. While actually taken late february, I feel it's more related to fall. f/2.8 at 800 ISO in 1 second (and thus quite shaky as it was taken handheld). Despite the shake I like the mood

Pin selfportrait

My first pinhole attempt made a rather blurry selfportrait. It revealed an unacceptable amount of sensor dust, so next thing I did was cleaning the sensor. 30 second exposure at 200 ISO

This is the last picture from Mogens for now. At 1600 ISO in 1/100 second f/2.0, I did a little pose at Sands, one of our favorite bar/restaurants. Not the most charming picture, but I like it a lot anyways

Late

Taken at 1600 ISO in 1/8 second. Kids on holiday tend to run about and never stand still. Being new to this manual-lens-universe I had to play with my nephew all day to make him tired and take photos in the evening (which actually didn't make the job any easyer). Here on the balkony at our hotel

Pool

Mogens was crazy enough to leave his 28-135mm IS lens at home and go on holiday to Turkey with a 35-70mm FD mount Soligor lens. This and the next two posts are by him. This is his nephew in the pool. The image has been cropped a bit to take away the pool-side and lots of water

Marienlyst

This is a picture of NRKs headquarters. NRK is Norways national broadcasting company. This time I went for a greener variant of sepia. The clock you see was a sign of NRK in the 70s and early 80s, so it fits the series on old lenses well. :-) The picture was taken at f/2.8 (as I cannot stop this lens down without modifying it) at ISO 100 in 1/800 second.

Ketil

This image is from this mid-summer when I was out with members from Oslo Domkirkes Ungdomskor at a cozy outdoor pub. This is our conductor. It's taken at ISO 800 in 1/100 second with a f/2.8 aperture. It was set to shutter priority and the -1 stop exposure bias has been corrected for during post-prosessing. Unfortunately, there isn't much open source noise reduction software available and since I was at home I haven't been able to use any. Sorry about that.

Bicycle in autumn

Not the nicest bicycle around, but it caught my eye on my way to the conservatory today. Taken with a 28mm f/2.8 Miranda M42 mount lens at ISO 200 in 1/8000 second at f/2.8, slightly over-exposed.

This picture is taken with my 37mm f/2.8 MIR-1 M42 mount lens without filters at ISO 400 in 1/50 second. I was reminded to take self-portraits when looking through my books, so this was my task for this image and the next. Both are from the same room at Vestjysk Musikkonservatorium in Esbjerg

This image was taken during a wiskey party at my friend Mogens' place. Mogens will help with other interesting lenses later in the show. ISO 1600 in 1/800 seconds, adding a bit exposure to give it extra glow. No cropping

A shot of my nextdoor neighbour during the Good Music festival here in Esbjerg. Again using the 72-162 lens, 1600 ISO in 1/160 seconds, no flash. I've cropped the image slightly to remove an item that just came in the picture on the right-hand side

This is my first picture in my series of pictures taken with a Canon EOS 20D and old manual-focus lenses. My first lens out is a Hanimex 72-162mm f/3.5 FD-mount lens that I use with an adapter that gives 1.26x magnification. This is my defacto concert-lens, the range is just perfect for the matter. This picture was taken at ISO 800 in 1/60 seconds without flash

This is the first picture I put up here taken with my Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens. It's f/2.8 at 75mm with a 2x converter. The 2x converter really takes a lot of the image, so no wonder that Tamron advices against it in their manual.

How do you like the widescreen crop? What I really find fascinating about watching the bees is that they are the small ones. The flowers bully them around with their hairs, overloading them with dust.

My Valentine

I always fall for cellists. I love the sound of the cello. I love the shape of the cello. And look what the cello has to say on the subject. You'll notice that the last string is broken. The poor little thing, I felt like fixing it right away, but it wasn't mine and I'd probably make it worse
