Age of Conan at Holmenkollen

First thing first…big shout out to Oystein for help me out with the script to automate making the links for the images…i hate doing manual work when it can be automated…so i installed cygwin and used this awesome command…and no more donkeywork

$ find /cygdrive/c/shank/photo/Norway/69_may_week_3_AOC_PR_event/blog -type f|awk -F ‘/’ ‘{ a=$(NF-2); gsub(“_”, ” “, a); printf(“\"%s\"\n”, $(NF-2), $NF, a) }’

Following the launch party last week…we had a BIG pr event held at Holmenkollen…it was a good party…though it was a bit annoying to see all the random people mooching off on all the free food and booze…they better write good stuff about the game…

Strangely i had forgotten about the party and was carrying the 50mm…which was a bit painful as i would have preferred to use the 28…had to make do with the 50 and the frames ended up being quite good with whacky angles to fit in all the stuff


there were a group of people doing tricks with fire…talk about playing with fire!!!

did not get too many portraits as i was bored of it

thats the BIG ski jump Holmenkollen is famous for…


there was a lot of people from the press and tv network…serious stuff

hmm…eirik came to work with a t-shirt and shorts…not smart as it was pretty cold…and i had to lend him my jacket…as you can see he was not happy about the fact that his balls were freezing

i have not see so many people with cameras

people doing serious stuff

more machines

this lady was from MTV…ok you cant really see her…i know

was petty cool

if hungry eat fire…nice


ohhh…more machines

ahem…olve and his shiny new nikon


maja and her shiny new purse from japan

pretty people doing serious stuff


there were people who were all dressed up for the occasion


as i said…it was cold…this is norway…what do you expect…i am wearing 4 layers of clothing today



gin and tonic…

more camera porn…



olve was cold as well…


all the cold made people angry and all hell broke loose

only one survived

and the night ended with some nice firework



good times…

Age of conan launch party

The Age of Conan launch party was held at DogA on the 9th…i was expecting crapy lighting…so carried all my cameras…which in hindsight was not the best thing to do. As i was exhausted carrying 3 body and 4 lens…i should have just taken the om with some 3200…but shit happens…

Anyways…the party was…decent…too dark and not so good music…but the food was excellent…

Most of the images are on film which i have yet to develop…i did get a few frames with the digital as well…and this time the 50/1.4 did not let me down…nice lens…
