    Det siste var utrolig flott! (de andre to også selvsagt) Speiling, dybde, lys...

    Ah! Sier jeg bare og sukker tungt. ;-)
    Jeg så de to øverste bildene dine i sort/hvitt også, men jeg tror jeg foretrekker disse. Perspektivet i det nederste er helt utsøkt!
    ha en fin fredagskveld, John!

    Awesome, breathtaking captures. My favorite is the 3rd photo with the scene reflected in the water.

    Happy SWF!

    Wonderful job here.

    Stiligt inslag även denna gången. Tyckte bättre om färgbilderna för deras fina färger men den sista är ett av dina mästerverk. Du använder säkerligen ett stativ med så långa expanderingstider.

    I can't decide whether I like the first two better in color or Black & White. And usually I don't have a problem deciding on that. But the lighting in these gives such a great warmth that you don't get in B&W that I can't make up my mind.

    As for the last one, it's just fantastic as is. Nothing else needed!

    Artig å se med de s/h i minne. Alle har sine fremragende sider, men føler at nummer to gjorde seg best i s/h. Dette er noe jeg aldri får til - bøyer meg i støvet.

    My fav is the one in the middle. Nothing wrong with the another two either. Great photos, as allways. Noted that you have ton of lenses to work with, you must be in GOOD shape to carry them around. :) Wondering also about your phototreatment software, why that much? Thought that PhotoShop does everything..
    Happy SWF!

    They are beautiful in color, but I think I like them better in monochrome.

  30. Anonymous30 April 2009 at 23:22

    Well, I certainly enjoyed them in monochrome and I certainly like them in colour too!
    Hard choice it would be.
    John I also would like to wish you a great weekend and also a good Workers Day.

    Thanks for the information about slow shutter speeds last week, John. I've been experimenting since then. Your third image here is absolutely stunning, and thanks for the info. 15 seconds exposure came as a surprise - I hadn't realised 'slow' means THAT slow for a sunset. But the results are beautiful.

    Nå rotet jeg meg langt bort ifra bloggen din du...havnet på din datters blog..så gikk det slag i slag og plutselig var jeg langt borte i periferien.
    Men nå er jeg her igjen. Nydelig datter du har og hun er jo kjempeflink til å fotografer....skal legge igjen en kommentar hos henne også:-))

    Ja bildene din er utrolig vakre...fargene, komposisjonen ja alt tiltaler flere en meg ser jeg..vakkert, vakkert...har snart gått tom for skryte ord:-)
    Men etter å ha surfet litt på fotobloggen din er det de bildene fra Nord Norge som virkelig bergtar meg!!
    De bildene fra Mjelle er helt utrolig! Må nok en tur Nordover i år vi også...gleder meg til å fotografere den vakre nordlandske naturen.
