Playing around with a frame.

Light it up!

Cat from another dimension!


Veckans Fototriss

Temat i veckans Fototriss är ”Färgglad”. Plockar några bilder från mitt besök ute på Hammarö.

Färgglad solnedgång.

Vindpark Vänern.

Vindpark Vänern (igen)


Hammarö sunset and the Gässlinge windpark.

-1°C and quite windy, fortunately I brought my gloves with me. I got a major brainfart on my way out to Hammarö. My goal was to test my new ND8 filter, i wanted to try the

silky water effect. At home I thought to myself that it should be quite big waves in this windy condition :) WTF… how could I forget that the whole friggin lake has been covered

by ice the last couple of months. Maybe I should get rid of my Iphone and use my own brain to remember things, instead of making notes everytime there is something important to remember :)

HDR

HDR again!

Self portrait :)

This one is not HDR. I merged two pictures to get a lighter foreground.

I got a warm fuzzy feeling.


Light it up!

Snapshot, played around in photoshop…

Used radial blur and fiddled around with hue/saturation and added som vignetting.

Same as above but this time i also played around with the gradient tool as I wanted black and white on top and som colour to show on the bottom part of the picture.


Cats on high alert…

It’s March,our cats are on standby for intrussion attempts from our neighbour cats. Chilli (he is the one on the outside was in a fight last week so we had to take him to the veterinary) is as you can see a little more cocky than Ozzy (who’s on the inside). The thing is that we have a cat door with a magnetic lock. It is supposed to hold other cats outside, this does not work so well, we have a big fat red cat in the neighbourhood called ”Mozart” (I have talked to his owner that is why I know his name) and he seems to push himself through the cat door anyway (Staywell, the lock is not strong enough).

For some peculiar reason our cats seems to guard the door. But I know when Mozart comes they will run away and hide like little chickens. I think we will have to teach them some self-defense.

Ozzy does not even pretend to be a tough guy, best to hide behind the door.

Chilli seems a little bit irritated on Ozzy, help me man!

Ozzy probably remember that Chilli got a real asswhopping last week so he is not interrested to get into a fight himself (note the nice shaved area Chilli has on his back) Hmmmm... is that cat piss stains on the door?


Mariebergsviken tidigt 90-tal.

På väg ner i plurret?

Tomas Ledin spelade i Mariebergskogen. En hel del som snyltade genom att ta båten (inklusive mig själv och polarna). En varmluftsballong i skepnad av ett x2000-tåg flög förbi. Kommer inte ihåg vilket år detta är.

Ballong i antågande...

Det ordnade sig verkar det som.


Tidigt 90-tal. (tror jag)

Hopp och tricktävling på vattenskidor i centrala Karlstad. Kommer inte ihåg vilket årtal detta är ifrån. Tror att det är tidigt 90-tal.

Travintresserad verkar det som :)

Publik.


Veckans Fotriss.

Temat är ”på G” i veckans fototriss.

Här var jag inte "på G" tyckte dock den blev rolig ändå i sitt misslyckande :)

Ankan här var iallafall riktigt "på G" riktigt bra studs i benen.

 

Ozzy är "på G" och sladdar runt i vårsolen så att snön sprutar efter att ha sovit hela jäkla vintern!


Ducks eating,jumping and flying!

Old man feeding bouncing duck.

Yes!

FAIL! but kind of funny, that is what I think at least :)

Air traffic controler!

Flaps out!

Touchdown!


Naturum, Karlstad.

Naturum, Karlstad.


Cats going completely bonkers in the spring sun!

Ozzy going bonkers!

Chilli chilled!

Maybe because of his battle scars.


Full moon over Karlstad.


Sunny Karlstad.


Svinbäcken, Karlstad, Sweden.

Made it to the top of Svinbäcksberget exactly when the sun started to set.

 

Turned around to get the sun behind me. Almost two seconds exposure,zoomed in at the same time.

View west from Svinbäcksberget.

Anybody home?

Skyline cropped.

Skyline original.

Vortex, spinning, fainting...


THIS!

Had one of these when I was a little kid "Bambino".


Fototriss, tema ”öppen”.

Lite småknepigt tema i veckans fototriss  here we go!

Dörren är öppen, can you see the light! :)

Öppen park.

Öppen!

Sopa sopa sooooopa!

Sedärja, så ska det gå till!


Mosserud – Katrineholm, Bandy. Mosserud vann serien.

Kamp...

Bollen syns till vänster om bollkorgen på målet.

"Bollen var inne" skrek Katrineholmarna. Domaren höll inte med. Kolla bollen uppe till höger under ribban.

Bollen är under M:et till höger

Han fick med sig bollen...

Därr satt den. Bollen skymtas vid nr 18:s högra skridsko.

Uppsnurrad på läktaren... :)

Den gick in. Gissa vem som gjorde målet. Bollen skymtas bland nätmaskorna på isen i målet.


Close encounter of the third kind…

or you could just call it ”saggy pants”


Alsterdalen, beaver hunt.

On the hunt for beaver in Alsterdalen,Karlstad ,Sweden.

Did not find any beaver, lots of trees though.

Tree, black and white version.

Maybe the beaver is hiding under the ice.


My backyard…

Rock and reed.
