Oslo – Page 2

Watching You

I love playing with commercials, seeking out juxtapositions between people and the commercial itself.

This shot was captured just a few weeks ago. We´re in central Oslo, at the area of Vika, originally not one of my city’s finest districts, if you get my drift … Now not much (nothing really!) is reminiscent of the old times. Today shops, chic cafés, and some of the more expensive law firms compete for the available spots. Thereby follows fancy commercials as well. And not at least a lot of well-dressed ladies and gentlemen, just like the one in the picture.

Waiting

I love underground stations. It’s something to do with the atmosphere, people on their way in all directions, the smell and the noises, and not at least the light.

After lurching around downtown the other day, just finding semi-interesting situations to shoot, I gave up and headed for the Underground determined to call it a day. And on the bench beside the opposite track this scenario caught my eyes. Hope you, as I, enjoy the light setting.

By the way, my sincere apologies for not having posted lately. I shall not be dwelling on the reasons behind this, but I’m aiming to increase the frequency of my updates in the weeks to come.

The girl in the ring

Even though I suffer from lack of inspiration these days, I haven´t completely given up on taking my camera out for a walk. So a couple of nights ago I went downtown, just to be nourishing on the month of May, and with a newly emptied card tightly fitted in the memory slot.

Spring is slowly drifting into the early stages of summer here in Oslo. The tourists starts showing up, in groups as well by themselves. In front of the opera house, itself showing up as an interesting piece of architecture, I came across a group of young ladies occupied by photographing themselves carefully framed in this rather ordinary specimen of concrete.

So as the tourists where busy capturing themselves, I went on to capture the tourists.

Birds, birds, birds

I´ve been lacking inspiration lately, I must admit. Being out with my camera I just don´t spot anything interesting at all. Some weeks ago it was completely different, but now … awful. Maybe it´s the same phenomena striking authors, when they go into the state of writer´s block. I don´t know, but I hope it will be blown away soon.

So this shot isn´t new, but not that old either. I took it a few weeks ago. I´d just left the underground train on my way to work one morning (my colleagues will probably recognize the place) and as I was about to cross the bridge leading over the tracks I became aware of this flock of birds in flight above me.

I didn´t have time to compose, and I only got one exposure, this rather foreboding one.

The tram, the phone and the gentleman

As mentioned in previous posts, the spring has definitely arrived and my city is bustling with happy people, enjoying the sun, and maybe not always paying their fullest attention to things around them. This very busy gentleman had just made it past the road when the tram rushed by. Hopefully, he had full control of the situation, but I must admit it seemed a bit risky just as the situation played out.
