On my last trip to London I took some shower-shots Ok.. not as exiting as it might sound. But found the text on the glass outside the shower to be quite cool Just had to capture it. The shower was actually a “double” shower… so I had more than plenty of space Taken with Canon…

Paddington Station old style, originally uploaded by Tor-Ivar. The Paddington Station has a inspiring architecture, and I just had to make a “old style” shot out of this. Ok, there are modern trains and stuff here… but… Suddenly I can imagine how it would have been in the “old times” … do you see the…
Telephone boots at Leicester Square…, originally uploaded by Tor-Ivar. What’s your call? This is taken from a couple of phone boots at Leicester Square in London. I like how they’ve managed to keep their typical red phone boots all over London. It has some kind of historic touch with it… And I like the crisp…
Busy life at paddington station, originally uploaded by Tor-Ivar. Took this shot just before entering the Heathrow Express Train to the airport for travelling back home to Norway. I have always wanted to take a “busy life at the train-station” kind of picture, and since Paddington is a cool train station, I am happy I…
Ok… this is probably a strange one But I always check out if this kind of “out-of-focus” shot works… and this one of the London Eye does, I think I also like the clear/crisp colours. It is taken with my 5D and Sigma 24-70, which have lovely bokeh/out-of focus effect due to the way the…
Hungerford Bridge over Thames, originally uploaded by Tor-Ivar. There are many great views along the Thames in London. This shot is of the Hungerford Bridge crossing the Thames. A couple of beautifully lit boats in the foreground. And I love the “star” light on the back of the boat to the right in the picture:-)…
London Eye, originally uploaded by Tor-Ivar. This is in my mind one of the most spectacular views in London. The London Eye is a really amazing construction, and it really is something special by the river of Thames Just had to get this picture… It is kind of a London landmark 5D and 24-70
Picadelly Circus… where do I go from here…?, originally uploaded by Tor-Ivar. This is another shot from my London trip. Taken at Piccadilly Circus last night. I had to choose between finding Soho or the toilet 5D and sigma 24-70mm
Underground…, originally uploaded by Tor-Ivar. Visiting London this week… and I had a chance this evening to stroll around the city, taking some “London by night”-shots This is one of the results… Thought this one could be a cool shot… Big Ben is in the background here. Taken with Canon 5D and Sigma 24-70 f2.8….
Frozen water…, originally uploaded by Tor-Ivar. This is another “detail” shot from me… Do you see what it is/where this one is taken? Strange one… but I love looking at ordinary things from new angles Taken with my Canon 5D and my 50mm lens…
Blurry wheel, originally uploaded by Tor-Ivar. Ok… this is what I would call photographic nerdity (if that is an expression ) But… as you perhaps have seen, I am attracted to details… that one usually never think of when taking pictures… I like this… even if it is a peculiar subject… and I guess I…
age and wisdom of life…, originally uploaded by Tor-Ivar. It is sometimes hard to express the respect and the love you have to the people closest to you… and taking time to learn from those who have lived and experienced the many facets of life… I have recently realized that these small and simple things…
