Hello, I'm new here so thought i'd introduce myself a bit. Figured, what better way than to show some of my work? The short version would be something like: Scandinavian Objectivist, enforcer, lawyer, photographer and aspiring artiste. My friends would call me a dog. I say i'm wonderful. ;) I have a degree in digital graphics, but never worked with it professionally. I prefer working on my own things, when I need to, and i'm not good enough yet to pick and choose. A few years ago I took up photography as a new, fun, hobby. Bought my dads Nikon D90 and went with it. Got a new D7000 a year later. Sold everything off last summer, to go off and see the world a bit. I also needed to focus more on my drawing and painting skills. Still do. Anyhow... This is my first successful photograph. It was a real bitch to take. Imagine crawling on all fours trying to aim the camera and direct theese tiny little bugs. The don't take direction very well. With a 60mm macro lense you also have to get really, really close. All the while you have gusts of wind ruining every shot. Well, almost every shot... I wanted the lovely golden light juxtaposed with silver. It took quite a while to get the right silver grey.. And here's more of that silver My favorite color. I like how the shadows in the center of the flower adds drama, and danger... It's beautiful, but I wouldn't want to touch it. This flower would be more calm, reflective and introspective...
