”Hope. It’s like a drop of honey, a field of tulips blooming in the springtime. It’s a fresh rain, a whispered promise, a cloudless sky, the perfect punctuation mark at the end of a sentence. And it’s the only thing in the world keeping me afloat.” (Tahereh Mafi)
On a separate note....I've made a big booboo by accidentally deleting most of my photostream. Yikes. I upload all my photos to the Flickr photostream via the Flickr plug-in, in Lightroom and it was this which I accidentally deleted. Thinking cap on as to what, if anything, can be done. :-((
This view of Kilkenny Castle courtyard from inside the castle was inspired by my wife who spotted the great blurred effect the old windows had on view out. Another one I couldn’t resist to capture.
Two faces/expressions blended.

(he told me it was his favourite image of mine)
Some people wonder about the dof in this photo. Yes, it is a shallow dof image, I think something like 4.5. I also added a very light layer of gaussian blur to soften the lines. That is why the focus seems a bit soft, even on the parts that should be dead sharp. It was another of my experiments - I wanted to achieve a very smooth image.
This was a solo show in Portland, Oregon, March 28th–April 24th, 2009 at Cameraworks Gallery.
I already posted all of these on flickr, but I've re-printed some of them in different ways, and since they comprised a show, I wanted to present them here as a set.

Fern leaf at sunset, this autumn, in the Ardennes forest. I like sometimes to use a soft focus to obtain a blur artistic effect and thus highlight the warm colors at sunset.

Took a bunch of photos from the car as I rode with friends down to Corvallis, Oregon for an opening of a show we all had work in.
An extremely low shutter speed and spot on panning on the head gave me the blurred wings in this shot with a sharp head.
Blurry, but I kept it anyway, because shots like this are hard to capture. =)
This is what we in Sweden call a "suddmes" ("blur tit"). Any unsharp bird, not just blue tits. =)
This is something I tried last year but the weather was vile… it was much kinder this time. This is done by changing focus during the exposure, its a bit tricky, quite hit and miss (mostly miss lol), details below if you're interested:

I've posted a whole bunch of these and made an album HERE , rather than posting them one at a time and boring the pants off you all… some of you might want to have a quick look, there's quite a variety! If that link doesn't work you can click on the Focus blur fireworks album link on the right side of the page.
November as arrived it's cold. I decided to go back to some warmer times and get creative. This is the first time I've tried this...technique, so I'm sure it's not perfect. Basically compositing 2 shots, one with my daughter and one without. The shot without her has motion blur applied and then just masked her in, letting a little of the blur show through...
