Søndagsaktivitet
Hva skal man finne på en søndag formiddag? Noe av det beste for meg er å gjøre noe som involverer et kamera, enten det nå er ute eller inne. Denne gangen ble det inne. Fint lys gjennom vinduet, kjøkkenbordet ryddet og to brød står til heving. I fotoklubben har vi drevet litt med stilleben og produktfoto, så jeg har litt inspirasjon derfra. Jeg har også diverse grønnsaker i kjøleskapet, noen epler…

Det er på høy tid å blåse liv i denne bloggen igjen. Det er nå over fire år siden siste innlegg og mye har skjedd, så vi får ta en liten oppsummering av fotolivet de siste årene. Continue reading Lenge siden sist

The joys of local nature
The joys of local nature
I am lucky enough to live close to nature. A choir of birds wake me up way too early every morning at this time of the year, and if I go out for a walk, I can be surrounded by trees in no time.
So yesterday evening I grabbed my camera and my long lens and went for a little walk to see if I could get some bird photos. The sun was low and would go down in an hour or so, so I hoped for some good…

Rediscovering old images
I’ve been using cameras for more than forty years now, since I was eleven years old. For almost thirty years, I shot only on film. I never had access to a darkroom, so I always had to send the exposed films to a lab of some sort and get back the film and prints. At first 9×9 cm prints from my Kodak Instamatic. Later I switched to 35 mm cameras that gave 10×15 prints.
I captured many memories,…

Finally getting out again
Finally getting out again
I haven’t been out taking pictures much lately, and even less showing new images to the world. Yesterday I finally pulled myself together, got up early on a Saturday and headed to a local woodland. It felt great. When I returned home after a few hours, I was refreshed and exited like I hadn’t been in months. I have had too much other stuff on my mind, so there just hasn’t been time. Or rather, I…

Digitizing film negatives with darktable
Digitizing film negatives with darktable
Many of us who have lived for a while have lots of old negatives lying around in drawers and boxes in the back corner of a closet. And many of the younger generation have recently discovered a “new” kind of photography: Film photography, or analog photography as they tend to call it. Digging out their parents’ old cameras and loading them up with a very limited amount of “memory”, and no chance…

A night in the mountains. Part 2/2, Sunrise
A night in the mountains. Part 2/2, Sunrise
If you haven’t read Part 1, please go ahead and do so here.
When I packed up and left the location of my sunset shoot, I had this idea that I might get the chance to do some star photography during the darkest hours of the night. But as the night progressed and I was awake quite a lot of times (if I ever really slept in the first place), I saw that it never became dark enough. At the most I could…

A summer night in the mountains
A summer night in the mountains
This summer I had a few days to my self at our cabin in Valdres, Norway. One day I decided to drive to Valdresflya, which is a mountain area just outside Jotunheimen National Park. I wanted to spend the night there, so I could get both the sunset and the following sunrise. I also wanted to sleep in my car. That was not very comfortable, but it made it easy to get up for sunrise.
So I drove north…

Print med blomster
Er du på utkikk etter et nytt bilde til å ha på veggen? Kanskje du pusser opp stua eller har nylig flyttet til nytt hus eller ny leilighet? Da ønsker du deg kanskje noe nytt til å ha på veggen, noe som vil ta seg godt ut i et moderne interiør dominert av dempede, nøytrale farger.
Jeg har nylig plukket ut noen av mine beste nærbilder av blomster og redigert dem på nytt for å lage en serie bilder i…

Flower print series
Are you on the lookout for a new picture to have on your wall? Maybe you are redecorating your living room or you have moved recently to a new house or apartment. Then you may want something new to have on your walls, something that will look good in a modern environment dominated by subdued neutral colours.
I have recently picked some of my best flower closeups and edited them again to create a…

Darktable map view
Darktable map view
For many, it is important to keep track of where their images are taken. Darktable makes this easy for everyone, regardless of whether a given camera has built in GPS or not. The easiest is of course to have a camera with GPS, but unless you take your pictures with your phone, this is not guaranteed. Most of us do have a mobile phone with GPS, though, and this can be a valuable…

Darktable preferences, part 2
In part 1 of the preferences videos I went through the GUI options tab of the preferences dialog in darktable. If you haven’t watched it, I recommend you take a look here.
In part 2 of the series I go through the rest of the options, divided into four more tabs: Core options, Session options, Shortcuts and Presets.
Core options
These options are all about controlling…

Darktable preferences, part 1
An important part of any software is the preferences, or settings dialog. In here you can to a varying degree customize your experience to suit you tastes or needs. Some applications let you change just about anything, others are more restrictive, but there are almost always things you can do to feel more at home. Darktable is no exception.
Darktable works very well right out of the box, but…

What’s new in Darktable 2.6
Like the last few Christmases haved done, this one too gave us a brand new version of my favourite image processing software, Darktable. This time we got a whole lot of new toys to play with. A whopping three new modules, significant updates to several others and lots of smaller tweaks all around makes this one a really great release.
New module: duplicate manager

Presets and styles in Darktable
Presets and styles in Darktable
A massive time saver in photo editing is the ability to save settings for reuse on other images. This may apply to both complete or partial edits and individual settings for the different tools. In Darktable, there are two ways of storing these settings, called presets and styles, respectively.
Presets
Presets are stored in each module, containing settings from that module only. Most modules in…
