Christmas Greetings from Michigan

Bjørnar — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 22:15:33 +0000

Merry Christmas to everyone!I’m celebrating Christmas this year with Jenna and her parents in Michigan. We’re having a wonderful and relaxing time here, despite the economic gloom hanging over this country currently. Here’s a picture I took last Christmas when we were in Norway celebrating with my family. It is one of my favourite pictures, even though there’s fish on the table (well, salmon is quite decent for being so fishy).

Morph and Jenna in the snow

And here’s a picture of Morpheus and Jenna in the snow. He’s very traumatised.

Morph in the snow

St Catharines had a prodigous snowfall over the last couple of days (and more to come) - about 40 cm. We decided it was time to let Morpheus experience the big, white world… He was none too pleased, squawked a lot. We took him inside after a few minutes. No animals were hurt in this experiment.

Helios Wallpaper

Here’s a Helios triptych I made more than a year ago. Widescreen 1440×900.

Black Furball

Helios (the orange cat) has so far been overrepresented on this blog, so here’s another picture of that black bundle of joy, Morpheus. Helios, by virtue of his colour, photographs much better. If I use a flash, Morph will get a strong sheen in his fur; if I don’t the black clipping will swallow all the details (outside works much better though). This one is a rare exception.

Rice Paper Butterfly

Here’s one more buttefly from this summer! I came across it, I must have missed it earlier. Looking closer at the picture, I found that it was decent enough to post.

Version 7

Bjørnar — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 03:16:33 +0000

Welcome to the new version of my homepage :) Hope you like the colours! This is the seventh incarnation of this site. It is still lacking some polish, but i’d say it’s 95% per cent done. Which is about as finished as the old theme ever got… There will probably still be some changes around here as I gain some critical distance, but this is the result of a lot of work (and a lot of scrapped drafts!) so the changes won’t be drastic (hopefully). Mostly bugfixes (there are still a few bugs crawling around).

Blue Experiment II

Once I had tweaked the first picture, applying the same effect to other, similar pictures was easy (though not all turned out).

Blue Experiment I

I posted a picture back in May called The Great Greening. This is another picture from the same series, but I’ve played quite a bit with the colours. I spent hours playing with black clipping, curves, exposure, temperature, split toning and vignettes, all the while checking with Jenna (does this look nice? I lose objectivity when I work for too long on my own pictures). Most of the effect was achieved by applying a yellow filter to the highlights and a blue filter to the shadows. Hope you like it.
