So today was a beautiful day in Stockholm…. Sunny and only -5˚C! I know, it’s pretty warm for winter in the frozen north. As well, with my new move to Södermalm, I needed to go out and take some pictures of the views that I now have. So, enjoy these panoramic photos!

So yeah, these were all taken from Södermalm towards Gamla Stan (Old Town). It’s an amazing view I get to go by everyday to work. A nice way to start my day I must say.

Oh, Hi! I Keep Forgetting…

So yeah, it’s quite obvious I haven’t been updating my blog! How can you tell? Well, the lack of blog entries probably! That and no new photos. So here’s what’s been happening since the last update!

1. NYC was pure amazing. I have some awesome photos which I am still working through (shear laziness). It is something everyone needs to experience once in their life. The city never sleeps, the food is amazing, and it was overall a great vacation.
2. I’m back in cold Stockholm, Sweden now, working. Work has been going ok, though, I do need to find a new place to live by March 1, 2010. LONG story, and really don’t want to get into it.
3. I love snow! Did I mention that yet? It keeps snowing almost every day, and I love it. I need to take an evening this week and go snowboarding at Hammarbybacken. It’s been a while (well, since I went home) since I’ve been.

Anyway, here are some photos from NYC, more panoramic shots, one from Central Park looking south towards the downtown and one from Liberty Island of Manhattan Island (the Battery). Enjoy!

Back in October, I had the opportunity to go to Utö in the Swedish archipelago. This was an overnight team building exercise for the who IT department. There was some free time to take some photos, and these are a few I was able to snap.

Utö Entrance Bay, Mysingen

This is the entrance bay at Utö. This is where the boats dock to arrive. This shot was taken from the hotel that oversees it.

Swedish Flags on Utö

Around the hotel that overlooks the bay is where these Swedish flags stand tall.

Utö was an old mining island, abandoned long time ago.

This is the old mill that would create flower for the miners on the island to make bread with.

Here are a few more photos that I finally got the time to work on and upload. Two are from Stockholm one is from Paris.

The Docks Near Skanstull

This was taken one overcast day on the south shore of Södermalm, near Skanstull.

Pond by the Observatory

I have no idea what the name of this pond/park is called. It’s by the Observatory on Sveavagen. Pretty decent reflection off the water.

The Eiffel Tower

Finally the Eiffel Tower. This was taken from the park where everyone relaxes at night, drinks wine and champagne and eats their cheese. Anyway, here is a nice photo of it, all golden and looking sexy.

Stockholm at Night

Nov 10th

Posted by Andrew in At Night

No comments

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!
