Håkon T. Sønderland Photography

I guess my mood is not on the shiny happy street recently.

I like the feel these analog shots give.

Life has not been nice to us here in Oslo recently. I have nothing to add, it is just too sad.

To the people that had the questionable experience of joining me for a photo workshop last week, I can only say I’m sorry. I should have stayed at home.

I found some negatives from last year that I had not processed yet so here is a picture of some mushrooms.

I’m experimenting with timelapses at the moment. I’m planning to do more interesting stuff with this, but currently this is on the exploratory stage. Getting to know the technology and so on.

Anyway, here is one I did earlier:

I also tried to make one in portrait mode. This one is very short since I had to recover the camera before it got too wet (you can see the water hitting the lens on the last few frames).

It is always nice to meet other photographers and share some time taking pictures and interacting.
Yesterday I took at trip up Akerselva here in Oslo with a group of at least 30 others.

Even if we cover the same ground it is interesting to see our different approaches and not at least what we capture.

Here are some of mine.

The newest in electric transportation

Whirly waters

Pick-pocket dog

Woody

Tracks

Leaf

River reflections

Sitting in a car for a long drive. I decided to let the road paint with the available light.

While there still is daylight:

And when there are both natural and artificial light:

Looking into Sjøholt:

Finally entering a road crossing in the dark:

Vala and her boyfriend Ingvar was good enough to be my models today. This my start for the next round of competition in the Norwegian photo magazine “Fotografi”. Since I won the first round I feel obliged to try to enter the next one. The theme for this round is “Couple” or “Pair” (they are the same word in Norwegian “Par”).

So here are two I shot today in the botanical gardens. Many thanks to Vala and Ingvar!

This is where my photographic projects will live.

Just need to get the hang of this WordPress thing first.

Not the grandest of openings, but we all have to start somewhere.

Not at all sure about the formatting here. Anyway, I thought I’d open with a wintery image made on film.
