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

Midsummer Oslo 2009

As you can see the site has a new look. Been working on this all weekend. There is one more tweak to be done, but that can wait.

Its getting pretty warm here in Oslo, i am glad i am heading to Indian in a weeks time. Speaking of which i will be Delhi for a week or so.

Did some more work on my Quake3 map.

Weekend was spend with friends enjoying the midsummer.
