Landscape

Landscape photography is my favourite

Landscape photography is my absolute favorite style of photography. There's something incredibly calming and rejuvenating about being out in nature, capturing its beauty through the lens of a camera. It allows me to unwind, let my thoughts wander, and be fully present in the moment.

Whether it's capturing the vibrant colors of a sunset, the serenity of a calm sunrise beach, or the dynamic patterns of flowing water, landscape photography has a way of transporting me to another world. It's a way for me to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with the natural wonders that surround us. Through this gallery, I hope to share the beauty of the world as I see it through my lens and inspire others to appreciate and cherish the wonders of nature.

Light Dance

This image was captured during a photography workshop I was on in late October some years back. We were actually moving on from a location when the sky cleared and the lovely autumn sun streamed into the forest. We scrambled and I managed to capture this, which I personally think is one of a kind and truly fairytale like.

A Path To

Lyngvig Lighthouse at the western cost of Jutland hidden by the dunes.

Bellevue Beach Quietness

At 6:02 am late April, nature did its best to show off how amazing colours it can generate. This is Bellevue Beach. Noone except me and I think I recall a single woman walking her dog. Peace. Quiet. Unwind. Wonderful.

Waiting For The Sun

Sunrise. Very long exposure of 686 seconds with a "proprietary" composition in an effort to emphasize just the sky and the sea. It was taken at Bellevue Beach north of Copenhagen and yes, you have seen the jetty before from a different perspective. I had decided to get up to try and catch blue hour but alas, my brain did not want me to get out of bed that early. Instead, I managed to force myself to catch golden hour.

Time Compression

Long exposure photography is mesmerizing. I am captivated by the thought of a period of time being captured in a single frame. Here, 823 seconds have been captured.

Stevns Klint / UNESCO World Heritage Site

A long exposure from the World Heritage Site Stevns Klint. It was a very beautiful spring day but a little windy, which obviously affects the sharpness of plants and trees that moved during the exposure. I don't think it ruins the shot in any way though.

Up, up, up!

Strictly speaking this is not landscape photography, sorry! The current, still operating Spodsbjerg Lighthouse was built in 1907 and is 9 meters tall. The light height, including the cliffs is 40 meters above sea level.

Canopy Pathway

A beautiful pathway under the amazing autumn canopy.

Røsnæs Lighthouse

Røsnæs Lighthouse is located at the most western location of Zealand in Denmark. The lighthouse was built between 1844 and 1846 where there was previously a defensive location with cannons. The area is excellent for hiking!

No lifeguard - better not jump in!

A cold and windy January day at Bellevue Beach north of Copenhagen but I am glad I came. I did a long exposure of the old lifeguard houses designed by Arne Jacobsen. They are not used anymore but they still look good!

Sjælsø - April Edition

At Sjælsø I spotted this composition at spring time. I played around with some new presets in Capture One and ended up with this.

Sjælsø - July Edition

I went back to Sjælsø in July to try and capture the same photo as I did in April to show the difference. It was way harder than I anticipated - the ditch in front was completely overgrown so I had trouble finding the exact spot.

Sjælsø - October Edition

I went back to Sjælsø for the fall/October shot of the view - again to experience the difference. So different!

Sjælsø Path

This is from the same photoshoot I went on for the Sjælsø - October Edition photo. When walking to a different location along a path, I noticed the path leading towards the lake and the wonderful play of colours.

Sjælsø Vista

At the location of the Sjælsø Vista photo, I turned about 45-50 degrees to the left and spotted this wonderful vista.

Water Drop

Macro Lenses And Patience

Here I showcase the captivating world of water drop photography. Through the use of macro lenses, flashes and specialized equipment for synchronizing drop creation with flashes and camera, I have captured the intricate beauty of water droplets in motion. Lots of patience is required when doing water drop photography but the reward is freezing the ephemeral moments that exist only for a fraction of time. The photographs reveal the mesmerizing viscosity of water drops, creating an awe-inspiring visual experience.

Step into the realm of water drop photography and witness the fascinating allure of this art form. Each image tells a unique story, showcasing the delicate dance of water droplets as they collide and form intricate patterns. Immerse yourself in the world of water drop photography, where beauty and fluidity converge in captivating harmony.

Abstract

Various additives were used in the water: Xanthan gum, food colours and coffee cream. Two drops collided.

The Crown

This image was done simply with H₂O and food colours from the supermarket. There was only one drop here so no collision.

Black & White

Why black and white?

Why use black and white photography, you may ask? By stripping away color, black and white photography emphasizes the play of light and shadows, adding a layer of drama and intensity to each frame. It allows for a focus on shapes, textures, and the essence of the subject, resulting in images that evoke a timeless and contemplative atmosphere.

Here we celebrate the power of black and white photography to evoke emotions, bring out details that may be overlooked in color, and create a sense of nostalgia. The absence of color encourages viewers to engage with the subject matter on a deeper level and appreciate the artistry of composition. Discover the allure of black and white photography and let it transport you to a world where simplicity speaks volumes.

Shutters

An abstract from the old shutters of a building at Nyboder in Copenhagen. In colour you would never sense the textures and the time gone by as you do in black & white.

Cobblestoned Magic

An alley in Dragør old town in Copenhagen. Again, with black & white the photo speak differently than a colour photo would.

Røsnæs Lighthouse

A black and white version of the colour version found in the Landscape section. Try to compare and note how the details and textures just stand out more in B&W.

Early December Evening

A capture, that in my opinion would never work in colour. By using black & white, the atmosphere and feel of the subject is amplified many times.

Going to Work

Change of the guards at Amalieborg Palace, the Queen's residence. These guys are so focused.

I can't see a thing!

Change of the guards at Amalieborg Palace, the Queen's residence. I was thinking how hard it must be to see anything with one of those on your head!

People

People...well, this is the hardest one to photograph in my opinion. I find that taking the photo while the person doesn't know it is the best way to capture the most genuine moments. However, I feel like I am invading his or her privacy while doing so. On the other hand, if I ask first I feel that the photograph becomes somewhat fake and ... not so genuine.

Other times it feels more natural but in general I don't really like doing it.
