yellowflower, originally uploaded by Tor-Ivar. Mid winter…but no snow…The snow that we had in our yard is almost gone, and what is left of it is just hard and icy… nothing much reminding me of winter… that’s for sure… If we just could get some snow, to go skiiing… Had to pick out one of...
cute smile, originally uploaded by Tor-Ivar. When taking some pictures for the family christmas card this year I got this shot that I really like. I think the smile turned out so cute, and it is like she is thinking of something funny… Wish I could be a mindreader some times… 450D, 50mm f1.8, ambient...
a portrait…, originally uploaded by Tor-Ivar. Captured this shot just before he was going to bed. Originally the shot was way off with regards to the white balance, but some tweaking in photoshop made it better. Desaturation of the colors also worked out nicely. I like the bright eyes in this shotCuriosity and exitement? 450D...
Stars and lightning…, originally uploaded by Tor-Ivar. We have some star-shaped lights hanging in front of a windowed door at home now in the christmas holidays, and I wanted to do some thing creative with it. Took this shot by lying on the floor, shooting it upwards towards the lights… And the effect of one...
Christmas I, originally uploaded by Tor-Ivar. Tried out a mix of natural light and flash bounced against the roof. Had to desaturate the photo a little, but it turned out quite niceI love the bokeh from the cheap but still wonderful 50mm f1.8 lens Have some lovely christmas holidays everyone!

Elise high key portrait, originally uploaded by Tor-Ivar. Playing a little bit with high key settings for this picture that I took this summer. I think the black chair gives a nice contrast to the rest of the picture. And I just love her eyes 20D and Canon 60mm f2.8
Bed of snow crystals, originally uploaded by Tor-Ivar. Another shot made during one of the extremely cold days we had last week… I was trying to capture the snow crystals and how they reflected the cold weather and the little light we have here in Norway during mid winter Tomorrow the sun is turning, and...
Trondheim is freezing…, originally uploaded by Tor-Ivar. December (and January) are the darkest months in Norway, and the sun barely takes a peek above the horizon before setting very early. This shot was taken about an hour before noon this weekend… It was cold (minus 10 degrees celsius), and at least the photographer was freezing...
Winter by the river…, originally uploaded by Tor-Ivar. Took some shots by Nidelva (local river floating through Trondheim) today… It was around -10 degrees celcius (I left my gloves at home when driving to this shoot… brrrrrrrr!!! it was cold) and the sun was about to look above the horizon… I was looking for a...
narrow dof, originally uploaded by Tor-Ivar. Took this shot while I borrowed a Canon 450D from a colleague before I had decided to buy one myself. I wanted to test the depth of field-capabilities of the kitlens, and it turned out to be a kind of cute picture…

There was going to be a concert in the Stavanger Cathedral later that night, and NRK, the largest norwegian TV producer had created a beautiful light inside the church. The TV-crew had just finished the last rehersal...
