One Happy Guy

On the last blog post, I told you that I am changing format; from being a Canon man for many years, I have changed back to the format of my first camera: Nikon! So 10 days ago I finally received my new camera: The Nikon D810! And Goecker shared this photo of me with my new toys. One happy guy!

Testing another format - July 2014

A few weeks back I borrowed some Nikon gear of a friend of mine and fellow photographer, Henrik Adamsen and Kenneth from Goecker helped me out with some awesome lenses. I have decided to change format: after having used Canon for a long time on location, I have decided to invest in the new Nikon D810 with 36,3 megapixels. It is still to be released, but come mid July and I'm off to Iceland to test my new camera.

However, prior to making up my mind, I tested out some Nikon equipment in Klitmøller in Northern Jutland, and got some cool landscape and nature photos. Check out the photos below and scroll down for some "backstage" footage.

MHI Vestas Offshore Wind - June 2014

My new client is the MHI Vestas Offshore Wind, a joint venture between companies Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Vestas Wind Systems. We photographed their new wind turbine V164/8MW; which is the world's largest wind turbine with a height of 140 meters and wingspan of 164 meters. They originally contacted us because they wanted photos with a certain dramatic feel and hero portraits to portray the harsh nature of working off shore, a dramatic feel which just happens to be our speciality. MHI Vestas Offshore Wind bought one of our Scotland photos (see below on flyer), which is now frequently e.g. at their latest press conference, where the photo was used for both name tags and leaflets, the photo is to become their 'image' photo for their website, etc., in the future. In late May we travelled to the wind turbine test center near Thisted to photograph the V164/8MW wind turbine. Photographing from an altitude of 140 meters was an overwhelming experience, realizing how enormous the wings of the wind turbine are when you come up close.

Here are selection of the photos we shot for them:

Some Iphone snaps – a great view is guaranteed from an altitude of 140 meters:

Royal Danish Navy ship, Najaden P523 - April 2014

Monday was one of those days where I just love my job. I was, together with my good friend Mikkel Bern, on board on a Navy Ship all day, taking photos of the crew, for a small project I am working on. The boat is a patrol boat and the main tasks are surveillance, maintaining of sovereignty, search and rescue and environmental protection. This is a few photos from the day and some behind the scene shots. Thanks a lot to the Crew of Najedan P523, for having us on board.

(First some iPhone photos and then the real stuff...)

"Behind the Scenes" Shots from Scotland - March 2014

Here is a few “behind the scene” shots from my recent trip to Scotland shot with my phone. I was there for a week, and it was raining all the time…. If it was not pouring down it was just drizzling, and a lot of wind too. So it was really difficult conditions to shoot in, but really glad for the umbrella and rain cover for the camera. I will post the final pictures later.
