GRAND IDEA !!!
A recent trip to Stockholm gave me an opportunity to take a snap of a bathroom towel. It was really just another test of the 5d mk 3 sensor, as I hand-held the camera at 100 ISO and a slow-ish prime lens, yet still got this level of clarity from the shallow depth of field. That’ll do the trick 🙂

SNOWY SWEDEN !!!
Took this early-morning shot out of my hotel window, looking back over towards the Swedish Royal Palace, surveying the Port area before the ferries took off for the day. If you’re wondering why there’s no sign of life, I shot this as a long-exposure HDR capture, +/-3EV, with an ND8 filter helping me block out some of the bright Swedish snow-reflection! Temperature was about -5c here, but the wind chill was far lower. Inspiring landscape, can’t wait to go back!

ON THE UNDERGROUND !!!
In Stockholm, it’s snowing like mad, hands too cold to take out the supposedly ‘weather-sealed 5d mk3’, but i bought along the ‘waterproof’ camera bag to test it all out! Escaping the vertical snow, ducked into this ‘metro’ station, which is basically a barely disguised ravine tunnel!!! The bag was right, Manfrotto are good to their word, all the kit was warmer and dryer than me… then i looked up, and thought ‘the light is flattering, the lines are interesting, the background is dramatic and the general scene would be massively enhanced by a fisheye perspective – 15mm to be exact! More to come…

SNOWY SWEDEN…
Heading out to Stockholm on Friday – this is VERY exciting. Took this shot of the ‘old town’ there last summer, and massively looking forward to seeing what it looks like under 3 feet of snow (might play havoc with exposure settings)! Will be a huge novelty to see how public transport can still WORK with the right type / wrong type / ANY type of snow! Boris, please take note 🙂
