A room with a view

Last weekend me and my girlfriend defied the cold and went out for a walk. Not many pictures this time. It's hard to operate your camera when you hardly can feel your fingers. Here is the Quality hotel by the Friends arena in Solna. 

Painting with light

Me and my girlfriend went down to the fields by the airport to play in with our cameras in the dark. Put the camera on a tripod and set it for long exposure times. Go crazy with your light source. Here we used a multi colored led lamp. My settings: ISO 200/F11/Exposure: 10 seconds.

 

Concrete Silo

Me and my girlfriend went to the old concrete silo in Bålsta outside of Stockholm. They are going to tear it down, so we wanted some pictures before it's to late.

 

 

 

Analog Minolta SRT 101 B

I bought this fantastic Minolta from a friend. Haven’t had all much success with analogue photo lately, but I gave this camera a run. It performed, going to try color film next. Me and my girlfriend are both into this, so more to come. 

 

 

The Light-tower

We went to the island Lidingö in Stockholm to take some pictures of Fyrtornet (Light-tower). The unique looking building is designed by Wingårdh and placed in the newly developed area called Dalénum. The name comes from the famous inventor Gustav Dalén who worked for the well known company AGA which resided in this spot on Lidingö. Dalén is most famous for inventing equipment for gas powered light-houses.

Not this time...

Since we suck at completing our photo challenges my girlfriend has decided to try another 30-day challenge. This time I’m not going to join her. I have some other photo projects in the pipeline.

Cherry Blossoms in The Kings Garden

Yesterday we went to Kungsträdgården here in Stockholm. We tried to blend in with all the tourists to take som pictures of the beautiful cherry blossoms.

Skatepark in Högdalen

On our way to Snösätra (legal grafitti area) we passed the skatepark in Högdalen.

The Scandic Victoria Tower in Kista

The Scandic Victoria Tower is a skyscraper hotel in the Kista district of Stockholm, Sweden. It is also known as the Victoria Tower, however the Scandic name is used to distinguish it from the Victoria Tower that forms the southwest end of the Palace of Westminster. The 117 metre hotel is one of the tallest buildings in Stockholm, as well as the tallest hotel in Scandinavia. It is named for Crown Princess Victoria, the heir apparent to the Swedish throne. 

Me and my girlfriend went there yesterday (I work in Kista) to take some pictures.

Sthlm 01

Today we made a small "expedition" to take some pictures of cool buildings.

The "Ugly" Ducklings

Not far from our homes there are two “smallish” lakes. They are home & nesting ground to a number of different species of birds. Me and my girlfriend went for a walk round the lakes earlier today, just to find a bunch of out favorites: The Swan.

 

Going Underground

Yesterday was a cold day, so my girlfriend suggested that we spend our “photo date” underground in the subway of Stockholm.

Woodland Cemetery (again)

Me and my girlfriend once again went to the Woodland Cemetery to try to catch the setting sun. It's an amazing place and we try go visit regularly. 

52 Week Photo Challenge #9: Night

"Just as we drew attention to light last week, this week the challenge is to take a photo evoking night." 

This picture could easily be in the previous category "Light", but it shows Stockholm in the night.
