storøya and halden

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.

midsummer redux oslo 2009

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.

the zuiko 2.8 renders very differently to the ef 28/1.8
2009 6 5
the lens is quite low on contrast which means better shadow detail…which means less digi look
2009 6 5
got to a restaurant and saw the sunset
