Dinner and a Zoo

Store Restrup Herregård I had a week of vacation of which I spent a night at Store Restrup Herregård with a lovely dinner and wine. I also had the opportunity for a few shot of the impressive building.  The colours where really not that prominent on the photo and the contrast of the photo seems to make it good for a black and white shot. Probably coupled with inspiration of a photo magazine I read just before I started on this photo.

I used an ND4 filter to get most details into the sky, but even then the sky around the sun burned out. I think I shot is at a good time of day though.

Toucan The day after the dinner we went to Aalborg Zoo, without any excuses of kids and so on, but because we love animals. I got picked the Toucan photo because the colours are lovely, even though there are a few others with good composition as well. You can see a few more shots from the zoo here.

Martin

DSC03112 I went to Aalborg University to have a talk with my supervisor, and when I saw martin, who I share an office with speaking on the phone I thought it would be a motive for today.

I chose to make it black and white in post processing since it made the subject stand out a lot more, and the colours didn’t add much to the photo. So by removing them the photo was made simpler. The subject is clear in the image, since there is only one thing in the foreground, and the background is fairly uncluttered. Besides the subject is dark on a light background which is another reason is stands out I think.

The windows makes a frame in the photo which I think is a good thing, the perspective should be corrected, or rather I should have taken one step to the right when I shot the photo. Too late now though.  It follows the rule of thirds, which was not as much of a concious choice as Martin just standing there, but he is standing on one of the lines in that grid.

Apart from my laziness to correct the perspective I think it is a pretty good photo.
