Focus on process

26/06/2016 by hegdal

In this blog I have tried to focus on the process behind creating my visual expressions. I want to offer a bit deeper insight in to how I work. I see myself as an artist using photography as a medium to express what I want to express. In this lies the concept that taking the photos isn’t where the art starts. Art starts with inspiration and ideas. An idea gives me the ability to create a concept. With this in mind […]

Panorama

03/04/2016 by hegdal

Last evening I was down at the beach at a place I like to go to. A peninsula  called Bygdøy. On the south end you have some distanse to the horizon and can often view the sun going down. This day was rather dark. However as it is with clouded days there are always, or close to, cracks in the cloud layer where sun gets trough and with long exposure this spots or cracks get more visible. All photos here are […]

Inspired

25/02/2016 by hegdal

Yesterday I found a book in the store that I for once felt resonated with me. There are many books about photography, but I do not experience that to many of them focus on the kind of photography I do. This book does, it also added some cool ideas I will work with in the future. The book is called “Moodscapes” and is written by Rebekka Gudleifsdottir.   The book gives a history of her photography, suggestions what she thinks […]

Babysteps into filming

22/02/2016 by hegdal

I have owned a DSLR with movie taking option for 2+ years. Have I ever used it, No. I started looking at it last week. Now I have taken my first film bits with it outside. I see a potential in what it can be used for when it comes to nature. But at the same time it opens up a new area of knowledge that needs to be filled. I have never edited a movie in my life. I […]

Wide angle shots at the beach

22/02/2016 by hegdal

Today I was out to take some shots at the beach, was looking for stones that would obstruct the waves and create exciting movements. Today was the first day in about a week where there wasn’t a cloudy sky. The water was much higher today then usual. Perhaps due to the close to full moon we have now ? I used my main body, the 1D Mark IV, with the EF 16-35mm F4L IS lens. I used tripod of course, […]

At the stream

08/02/2016 by hegdal

I was out testing the new lens. Sadly there was no sun outside, it was a clouded day with, where things where rather grey when it comes to light. Most of the lakes and the shores in the fjord are frozen with ice and snow on the top. So it was a rather white day so to say. I was trying to find a place where some open water would brake up the monoton colors. I drove to a lake called […]

Blue hour – an artistic expression

17/11/2015 by hegdal

During this autumn I have had and will continue to have a reoccurring theme in my photos. “Blue Hour” The Blue hour explained at wikipedia.com The blue hour is the period of twilight each morning and evening when the sun is a significant distance below the horizon and the residual, indirect sunlight takes on a predominantly blue hue. This effect is caused by the relative diffusibility of short blue wavelengths of light versus the longer red wavelengths. To me the time […]

Serenity

14/10/2015 by hegdal

Once again I find myself together with my camera out to get the shots I want when the day is going towards an end. There is something very special with the time when the darkness falls upon us. I like how everything falls to rest and how the light is more crisp. Where I live in Norway the autumn and later the winter brings the darkness rather early in the day. It is a perfect place for photographers loving that […]

Iceland – the Saga Island

09/10/2015 by hegdal

Today I am going on a travel for an organisation I am the Chairman of to Iceland.  There is a official program where some guiding is part of it. I will of course not pass on this opportunity and will bring some of my camera equipment to be able to take some landscape photos there. Both on the guiding. Hope the others won’t hate me when I set up my rig and used 15-20 minutes each place I want to […]

After rain comes calmness and clouds

26/08/2015 by hegdal

The last two days it has been raining here. rather heavy after almost two weeks with sun. Sun is nice, but sun often entail no clouds. Clouds give pictures more life. As the rain stopped I wanted to capture some of the beauty and drama that was out there.  I put my camera on the tripod and took the shot. The photo under was shot at 24mm @ 4s, f18, ISO 50 This is a great landscape with amazing contrasts and […]
