ABGT350 and Prague

Back in late September of 2019, my buddy Jørgen, Espen and I finally got the chance to go to ABGT for the first time. I had the time of my life at these concerts we went to that weekend. Google “ABGT350” if you want to know more. At one of the concerts, I brought my point and shoot camera Olympus MJU 1. I also took some pictures with my FujiFilm X-PRO1 as well.

I want to highlight some of the photos I took, I was especially pleased with these ones. I absolutely love the reflections in the first pictures and the documentary-style in the other two.

Here are rest of the photos shot on the Olympus Stylus MJU. The color film are Kodak Portra 400 and the black and white are HP5 Ilford 400.

I also shot some photos on my digital FujiFilm camera from walking around in the city:

Indonesia 2017

Pictures from my first ever solo travel. I decided to go to Indonesia for a sailing trip. I brought with me my trust old Canon 450D with an 18-200mm lens and a “how-to” book on photography. This was the start of my photography career, as you can tell from my very bad editing of these photos.

Enjoy!

My trip to Cuba 2018

I haven’t uploaded these pictures anywhere, I wanted to share the pictures from my 4-week solo trip to Cuba! I didn’t know a lot about photography back then. I only brought my Canon 450D with the 50mm F1.4 lens on it., little did I know that a 50mm lens might not be the best for travel. But I think I got some good shots anyway.

Here you go!

rusasetvatnet

Today’s post is about our local pond. Where the locals go to relax, have a walk, exercise or just get out of the house. Everyone needs to get to know their local town, this summer day in June me and Guro went for a walk around the local lake, Rusasetvatnet. The reason I (Håkon) wanted to take a trip there was to recreate one of my best pictures taken (find it in my portfolio) with the Fujifilm X-T3. It’s of a high voltage pole that goes across the entrance of the park. As I was exploring more film, I wanted to see how it would look on 35mm analog film. This pond or “bird park” is rich with history. From being a wonderful place for birds to almost nothing, to a new paradise for birds again.

From the time it was thriving (Picture taken from google)

From when it was almost dry (picture taken from google)

Picture from when Ørland kommune fixed the park (picture taken from google)

Here are the pictures we took on our trip to the water. Pictures are taken with the Olympus OM10 with the 50mm F1.8. The film stock used was Fuji color 200 and Ilford HP5. You can now see that the “park” is thriving when birds again.
