Believe it or not, this was what I saw today just out of my office window:

Miniramp joys

The last couple of days, Luka, Fabien, and I spent a lot of our spare time in Svartlamon, close to the harbor in Trondheim. The skate hall is closed for summer now, so the all brand new miniramp is a fantastic spot to work on one's skating abilites, hang out, and have the occasional BBQ.
Last time I took my camera gear with me and I got to try my new Elinchrom Skyports for the first time. Those small things are nothing but radio triggers, that now enable me to trigger my flash units remotely via radio transmission. Neat!
The fantastic thing about that, however, is that it is 100% reliable, unlike the optical triggering I have been using so far. There always had to be a clear line of sight between the camera and the flashes and the distance over which the flashes could be triggered was limited to about 10m to 20m, depending on ambient light levels. Not having to worry whether my flashes actually fire or not for a change is a HUGE boost in usability. So now I can use artificial light as much as 100m away from the camera and through walls and the like! If I wish, that is :wink:

Summer

Summer finally came to Trondheim! After a whole month with below average temperatures and a lot of clouds and rain, we are now having a bit of a "heat wave". For a whole week we have had nothing but sunshine and daily highs of 25°C to 28°C.
Needless to say, I was spending A LOT of time on the beach, the harbor, and at the magnificent brand new miniramp they built in Svartlamon (I finally managed to do a rock to fakie by the way - pictures will follow soon!). One of those warm summer days, we went to a small place called Sjøbadet which is somewhat a private open air bath in the harbor. Normally one has to pay to get in but in the evening hours it's fine. It's really not much more than a bigger wooden terrace with a jumping tower thingy. Anyway, was nice to relax there after some skating and the sea water is not half as bad for swimming as one might expect from a place as far north as Northern Alaska!
Check out the photos, hope they carry some of the nice summer atmosphere!

Speaking of photos: I got my new Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 lens and I like it! All above mentioned photos were taken with it.

Our garden

Monday, 18. May 2009, 21:20:42

...okay, it's nor really our garden. But, nonetheless, this is the view I got when I looked out of the windows today for a moment and it just made me feel all warm inside. Hope I can carry some of that spring evening warmth over to you with this shot :smile:

Serious dumping

Tuesday, 6. January 2009, 14:21:30

Not to raise any disgust or excitement: I am, in fact, talking about snow. And some serious snow dumping is exactly what happened the last days in the Trondheim area. I was very surprised and pleased when I returned to Trondheim and found half a meter of powder snow in the city!
The local resort also received lots of snow and is offering some 165cm to date, which is as far as I can recall the most it had during the last couple of seasons. So needless to say, I am VERY eager to finally get on and off the slopes!
