I'm thinking Feist too. I went to take pictures of Wilco last night at Bluesfest and couldn't get anywhere NEAR the stage

I love the one with the kid!

Those crazy cute Swedish children!

Cool, olga!

During which event in Folkets Park was this taken? Football? Concert?
I gotta got my ass up in that ferris wheel some time soon - it's supposed to be the tallest in northern Europe, I reckon. I bet there are some cool views from the top floor/roof of Folkets Hus at Nobeltorget as well - and I think it's "open to the public" as well.
So I'm gonna get my ass up there as well.

Thanks hack, ax, ken and staff!

It's football. It's taken just before Sweden's match against Paraguay. So at this moment, we still had hope for a successfull World Cup...

You should definately take a ride in the ferris wheel. It's worth every penny.

Here are some other shots I took that day:

Those houses in front could almost be in New York, coldn't they?

Indeed it could! And I really like that view with John's Cathedral, Kronprinsen and the Hilton.

Continuing the Malmö theme by posting a photo of the Hilton Malmö City (Malmö's most "New Yorkish" building in my opinion) that I took last summer:

^ That's a view I see every day on my bike ride home from work!

I'm not a fan of the Hilton architecture though...

KST in an other view

Took a walk here in Kista a day ago. And found this option.

The blur is not lens blur, but "gaussian blur" with low opacity on a second layer in Photoshop to create a "dreamy" look. I don't know if I succeded though..

Crazy electric storm over Ottawa this evening:

Ninjatune · #**791** Posted **Jul 18, 2006, 6:31 AM**

man, this thread is sick! great work everyone..

upward: sorry, i missed your post- the program is called photomatix.. its the best i've found so far... CS2's HDR tool just doesn't do it for me... which probably means I don't know how to use it-

More HDR

my building

staff · #**792** Posted **Jul 18, 2006, 7:31 AM**

Damn man, you really got the HDR-thing together now.
About your mixer photo - nothing seems to be really in focus on that one.

Anyway, great work (everyone)!

It's probably my monitor here at work that fucks things up!

Ninjatune · #**795** Posted **Jul 18, 2006, 9:10 AM**

I love the HDR photos! I'm very tempted to try out photomatix, but can't really afford it right now...

Ninjatune · #**798** Posted **Jul 19, 2006, 5:14 PM**

thanks! the trial is free, only it leaves a watermark.... but there are ways around that

I still plan on purchasing a copy.. It's fairly priced and I can see myself using it quite a bit..

^I love that last one!

Upward · #**800** Posted **Jul 19, 2006, 6:52 PM**

She and her two roommates want to help me build a portfolio of portraits.

By the way, that was edited in The Gimp in Linux. It has some interesting effects (like this matte finish), but I don't think it can replace Photoshop for my main editing needs...
