storøya and halden
Posted on | June 30, 2009 | No Comments
another weekend another beach(s)
We first went to this beach at storøya, which was supposed to be awesome. The only thing i saw, was the awesome number of people(and kids) there. As we were there we took a dip in the water anyways…that done we decided to head to the beach at halden brygge. Nice beach…ok not a sandy beach but less people(and kids).
I dont know how to swim…yes there are people like me. Luckily i have friend who insist i learn how to swim…and thats what i did…not swimming…a bit of floating. It reminds me learning how to cycle. All good.
So i have been here for three years now…and finally i went for a swim. This shows it all depends on the company you keep.
This will probably be the last post before i head to India for vacation.
so we goto Fornebu and found this
there used to be a Airport here
now its just bad architecture
made our way to the beach
found the beach…and a million people and two million kids
back to the bus stop to head to halden…the girls were dressed in green
goto halden and we were happy…
helene bought a 500d and a sigma 70-300…i threw up a bit when i saw the BIG lens…and decided to try it @ 300
happy helene with her new camera…i was using the zuiko 50/1.8
the french did not let me down…they made tasty food…not sure if i like the 50/1.8…the 28/2.8 renders better

midsummer redux oslo 2009
Posted on | June 25, 2009 | No Comments
So we had a second midsummer. Apparently Norwegians do not celebrate midsummer on the same day as the Swedes and Finns. Better for me…get to party more. Its all good.
Plan was to goto Majas summer cabin at Nesodden, chill out and see the bonfires along the coast.
Ferris wheel at Aker Brygge
on the catamaran
it was quite sunny…but got pretty cold by the time we got back
saw the same ship last time
the french couple
got to Nesodden and started walking to the cabin
i wish more things were hand painted…like walls and stuff
this place stank real bad…
this cat followed us but at same time completely ignored us
a view from the road
got to the cabin and found this hat
love this one
as you can see i was testing out the zuiko 28/2.8…comparing it to the ef 28/1.8 which i used earlier on this trip
the kitchen
loved the house
one of the many beds
maja found this doll…took this at 1/5…very surprised how well it turned out…
the house
the people
all the mosquitoes made us go to the
guillaume taking photo of the green stuff along the coast
like the hands…details you notice later
making our way to the sunny side
the zuiko 2.8 renders very differently to the ef 28/1.8
the lens is quite low on contrast which means better shadow detail…which means less digi look
got to a restaurant and saw the sunset
this frame does not show the other million boats which were there
heading back to Oslo…eating chocolates…as always…i love having french friends
