My OperaCopenhagen - The end - for now that is:)
Sunday, March 4, 2007 2:25:58 AM
HI All,
Well an all new Duploworld update for you all:)
The Copenhagen visit is comming to an end, or almost as monday is the day where we will be travelling back to Nuuk.
It has in many ways been a great trip, mostly because we got a lot of the business results we came for with us home. But also because it has been good to see family and friends again.
It also included a trip to Amsterdam and Frankfurt, both in business.. Frankfurt was a 6 hours visit and I never saw anything but the airport.
Amsteram was a little longer and gave me a chance to shoot a few pictures those are in the now updated "Amsterdam and Copenhagen" album
My father has recently acquired a dSLR as well. and I have had the chance to do not one but two walks with him. It was a pleasure seeing someone rediscovering photography, but more importantly to share these two walks with him. A unique experience to me and one of the best moments with him since I was a very small child.
On the walk we had today I decided to go with only a 50mm and a 105mm lens (two of my favourites) WOrking with fixed focal lenses is one of my favourite things... I only wish I had brought something wider:)
Now two walks should throw off some pictures and here we go (the four pictures has been taken on todays walk):
This is what I looks like when out and about with my camera, I was taking this Picture
It is the first time I am able to see what it looks like when I am out there taking pictures. Now you all know as well:D
Welll I am not going to chaet you all for the picture I was taking while sitting there... here it is:
Remember the Copenhagen teaser picture, well here is the same motive taken with a different lens and this time in colour:
Last picture is one I had to work hard to get, but the result was worth it I think.
Now do not forget to check out the entire "Amsterdam and Copenhagen" album... There are some pictures I like in there and hopeefully you will to:)
Well that is it for now... I am off for bed again...
Do take care you all:)
Thomas

Doesn´t matter, though - as long as the results are as brilliant as in this case.

And thanks for the nice compliment:)
hungryghost # Monday, March 5, 2007 1:20:02 AM
but is that the black bag you carrry round with your camera stuff?!
Well. No need to go to the gym. Was looking at cameras yesterday - in a mad look at cameras in case my present one dies...too overwhelming. Still torn between small and large.
Maybe I'll flip a coin...
Safe travels back to Nuuk!!

Thank you for the compliment:)
Yep that is my small camera travel bag. the beauty is that it has tripod straps on it. I have this one when I want to carry a bit more and this one for hiking... anyone said I suffer from CBBA too:lol:
Well it is all about choices and either one will have a set of trade offs, good luck picking a path:)
Take care
hungryghost # Tuesday, March 6, 2007 11:09:25 AM
so big and they look hevay too....
CBBA? What's that?
Thomas Bojer EltorpDuplo # Tuesday, March 6, 2007 12:47:50 PM
They are not heavy:)
approx 4-10kg all inclusive depending on which lenses and if flash and tripd are with me and which bag.
a quick guide to abbreviations:
LBA - Lens Buying Addiction
CBA - Camera Buying Addiction
CBBA - Camera Bag Buying addiction
TBA - Tripod Buying Addiction
I suffer pretty badly from the first one (I am at least 2 primes short of my "needs" for now, no wait... better make that 3... err 4 I think...
The remaining 3 disorders are always lurking I guess but I can live with those... (however a new tripod and L-bracket would be a nice addition sometime soon)
Well we can all dream and well gear is only gear... it is as always the eye and having fun taking pictures that matters:)
Longish comment huh:D

Well if a wallet is kind of heavy, then I guess you are right:D
Gorillapods are soo great I think, at least for smaller digicams... DSLRs are a little to heavy for it.
Have fun:)

It's nice to see you having success in your work! And having some fun together, I think!
You're pictures are amazing as always! I'm crazy for visit Germany. God knows when I'll do it!
hugs to you,
Bea.

Thank you for the very nice compliments:)
I have indeed had some very good moments on this trip home...
Yeah i managed to get a few keepers this time too... i actually have more from Copenhagen as soon as I get them uploaded (tonight I hope).
Along with a new (all new in fact) round of pictures from Greenland.
I hope you will be able to make that Germany trip soon:9
Hugs to you too:)

like always: wonderful photos! It's worth the trouble, to hump your 4-10 kg photo bags.
Thomas Bojer EltorpDuplo # Friday, March 9, 2007 5:20:53 AM
Thank you very much:)
Well in fact I would hate being without it:)

Well I have already hinted her that I need a more sturdy tripod, the one I want is almost 800, I would never ask for that from anyone...

Unfortunately the coffemaker is not included, but would be a nice touch during winter:D
