Season’s over
The hockey season is over. Quite a bit faster than hoped. The local hockey team Rodovre Mighty Bulls was knocked out of the first round of the playoffs, loosing 4 straight games.This has both upsides and downsides. Upside is, I don’t have to go on the road Friday which equals being home no earlier than [...]
Hello 300mm f/2.8
I did it .. I went out and bought the Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM. It’s amazing!!I shoot quite a bit of soccer (not the season right now though) and the 70-200 just doesn’t have the reach.I brought the lens to the hockey game today to test it out and what a blast that [...]

Chinese New Year
Today the Chinese New Year was celebrated and I was assigned to cover the event. I was pretty excited about it, shooting photos of the big dragons and stuff like that.I arrive like 5 minutes before the event was scheduled to start (according to the journalist) and see the city square completely empty. There’s a [...]
Boxing champ

This kid is 12 years old and can juggle and do tricks like you’ve never seen.He has been in commercials and has been in the major newspapers around the country.Being a local kid we ran a story on him, so I was assigned [...]
National lice day
January 31st has been named “National lice day”. It’s basically just an effort to get rid of lice in schools and daycare centers. So on January 31st combs are handed out to the kids.I was assigned to shoot a photo of the kids getting these combs and thought the result seen further down was the [...]
45th Copenhagen Six Day Race
I went shooting pictures at the 45th Copenhagen Six Day Race yesterday. After getting a couple of “clean” shots in the bank I decided it was time to play. Long shutter speeds and using the stroboscopic function on the flash was on one of the things on my agenda.Canon EOS-1D Mark II n, 17-40mm @ [...]
Rögle - Leksand Slideshow
Yesterday I went to Sweden to shoot a hockey game between two teams with danish players on them. The home side has a player, who played for the local team where I work, last year, so when I got a chance to go up there and shoot photos I accepted the offer right away.It’s alway [...]
Yellow hell
In the previous post I talked about the problems one can encounter with random gyms or arenas.A couple of hours ago I was out shooting handball. Walking into the field I thought something was wrong. This couldn’t be true. Never in my life have I seen as yellow light as this.Usually it’s just a little [...]
