This is one of my first night shoots in Stockholm. This took place October 11th, 2009, on a very cold and snowy evening. I started off downtown at Sergels Torg, attempting to get a “night shot” of cars driving around it, slowly, working my way south through Gamla Stan. As I’m still learning about photography, not all the photos turned out amazing, but here are a few of the ones that I think turned out decent. These photos have gone through photoshop and I have put “other” effects on them to “enhance them”.

Sergels Torg at Night

I first started off at Sergels Torg, trying to get a motion blur of cars driving by. Unfortunately it was already too late at night (around 7:00pm) and most of the traffic already was home. I’ll have to head back soon and re-try this photo, maybe around 4:30 to 5:00pm as work gets out.

Sveriges Riksdag

Next I was off to Gamla Stan and took photos of the Swedish Parliament, the Sveriges Riksdag. This was a pretty easy shot too do. No traffic, no interference, just a simple shot. I ended up cleaning the color out as it was very yellow (like the next Gamla Stan shot), and I wanted to try for a clean, white look.

Northern Gamla Stan, South of Parlement

This was taken from south of the Parliament buildings, north of Gamla Stan. I was trying to get an older, rustic feel, unfortunately there were some signs still showing up in the photo (notice the green sign in the middle). I’m really pleased on how this turned photo turned out.

Sankta Gertruds Kyrka

This is the photo of Sankta Gertruds Kyrka (St Gertrude’s Church) was able to actually pick up stars; unfortunately at this web resolution, it doesn’t show all that clear. However, I can put up a higher resolution one later. This is the southern most Church in Gamla Stan and can clearly be seen from Söder.

Please leave your feedback if you have any about my photos. Definitely want to learn more about photography, digital editing and image composition, and from what I’ve read and researched, it’s all about practice and understanding what you are doing, with more practice!
