This is a photo on Halmstad I shoot from a beach south of Halmstad. This shoot was done in the middle of the night and the exposure time was about 2 minutes. I want to go back to that beach another night. I believe I can make an even better photo if I try some more.

One of the few tall building in Halmstad. It has 22 stories and it looks like a skyscraper compared to the buildings around it. I have been wanting to photograph the building for a long time, but didn't get the time to do so until recently. This photo was shot on a warm summer evening.

This is the oldest bridge in Halmstad. It was built in 1879 and is still used by both pedestrians and cars. I shoot these photos using two new filters I bought for my camera. One ND-filter [Länk] specifically bought for long exposure during the day and one Polarizing filter because the ND-filter wasn't enough. I wanted as long exposures as I could get. The longest I got on the bridge and river was 0.4 second.

I've found two pictures on my hard drive that are from two old photos I took in New York 1997. I remember scanning them in the same of or so. So they have been collection dust for many years on my hard drive. I thought it would be fun to share them with internet on my blog.

The famous pre-2001 New York silhouette.

The view from Empire state building.

Two pictures taken on an industrial plot. Compared to all the other pictures I think these two pictures look great. The objects I have photographed doesn't suffer by the cameras shortcomings.

My finger got a place in the corner again.

I recently dug up some old film cartridge and got them developed digitally. I thought it would be nice to have digital copies of my old photos. While looking through them I find a few that I thought it would be fun to post here. Not because they are the best pictures in the world, but because they are how picture look like when shot with a cheap APS camera. Many of the pictures have a lot of noise in them and the colors are pale (and the fact that it was my first camera and I was just starting to photograph does really add to quality either). The pictures were all shoot between 1999 and 2001.

I like this picture. The vignetting (darkness in the corners) is a sign of cheap camera for me, but I think it adds to the picture.

The pale colors reminds me of old post cards.

This is the coat of arms for the Swedish province named Halland. It is the province in which the city of Halmstad (and me) is in. This coat of arms I photographed is placed on the building for the province's administrative board, which is called Länstyrelsen.

The colors are, as you can see, very dull. I'm guessing that is because the sign might be at least as old as me (almost 30 years that is). It is not because my camera is bad.

A quick blog post with a picture on the church in Snöstrop. Someday I want to make a post with more photographs and information about the church.

This is a tunnel in Halmstad that looks quite ordinary during the day.

But during the night, it has a constellation of blue lights glowing from one of its walls.

I never noticed the tunnel had holes in the wall during the day. I would just pass it by quickly on my bicycle. So when I then one dark evening went through the tunnel, I was really surprised to see the blue lights. Since then I have wondered if the lights always were there or if they were added later. I don't think the light pattern fits the mosaic on the wall, so that makes me think they were added later by somebody else. Somebody that wanted to make their own mark on the wall, a sort of light graffiti if you will. But the major flaw in that idea would be how did they put in the electric cables in place without destroying the whole wall?

I have been spending a few hour after work being outside and photographing the streets with long exposure times, turning cars into streaks of light.
