As I’ve kindly been asked by Carl to publish some test shots with my new lens, here they come:

I got a new lens today. Finally something that covers the range of my kit lens and at a decent f-stop. The 2.8 aperture on the Tamron 17-50mm is just waiting for long and intense testing for some HD video and a lot of pictures.

This will definitely have a spot in my camera bag at all times

Until the 12th of August you should definitely visit Trapholt and attend their Kontroversielt! exhibition. It consists of 100 controversial photographies through time, background information is given in Danish, English and German.

The experience is shaking and everybody who even owns a camera in their phone or above should share it. Taking pictures as a provocative or journalistic matter and what impact it can have is presented radically there. Pictures of Abu ghraib, catastrophes and nude children gather in one room, I don’t recommend to visit it before having to present a project or holding a motivational speech.

The last two days I’ve been wandering the streets a little and I got some pictures to illustrate what Mission and Downtown look like a little.

I like to get close to my subjects sometimes, taken in Mission.

Talk to Jesus brothers and sisters! Talk to Jesus!

a small audience is too little to keep going, but too much to stop playing

A little diptych test of a stranger, close and as she leaves me and my camera again.

As mentioned earlier, this guy bought a new camera. He’s pretty eager to practice all the functionality of it and I’m pretty happy that I get to be around and try to pass on the technical skills that I have in our spare time.

The other night we were out looking for a harddrive, which we couldn’t get, but we got some nice shots of castro and I of Mikkel.

Oh and when we were on the way home today I got a nice pre sunset
