I heard you've missed me... must be hearsay

But just to let you know, I'm alive! Claire mentioned that a few had asked under what rock I've hid the last 6 months or so. Well, I've been busy and still am. I've been shooting a few weddings this summer season and writing a few articles for MacWorld (the Swedish issue) and now I'm working on a book translation of Scott Kelby's book "The Digital Photography Book". Won't have a day off until December 15th when I fly to Canada to celebrate Christmas and New Years with the in-laws. Finally, 3 week vacation!

So how have you guys been?

Good thanks I'm back at uni with lots of work to keep me occupied... Consequently I have no time to take photos

Petra!

Shame on you for being gone so long. I have to find other women to flirt with.
You missed the coronation when they crowned me King. We all had punch & cake.

Post a shot or two from your recent weddings. Your pictures are always great.

curtis your holiday inn joke gets me everytime....

Curtis, I'm utterly disappointed at you. I thought I was your queen, in both sickness and health. *sobs*

Well, as you're the king, I better post a few images then, to see if I can please the king. As there's a post limit of 8, I have to try to keep it short and sweet.

Great shots! Looks like some pretty tough exposure challenges with the dynamic range in some of those shots. I especially like the first, and the very last two.

Oh, and welcome back! I remember you but you won't me, as I'm a relative unknown.

William

Petra, your eye and skill continue to impress me.
The starburst on the ring in #6 is a nice touch!

Thanks William. Yeah, I don't think I've had one day where the weather has been *perfect* it's either been a crazy sunny day, or rain. Although I was surprised as how good the images on the beach turned out, it's like the sand works as a built-in reflector as I didn't use a flash on that image.

Curtis, that's a brush I was given by a friend who'd made it... it's called Bling-Bling

Fitting title!

I think it shouldn't be too hard to make something like that. Take a shot of a small light source with black surroundings using a small aperture. Then add it as a layer.

Oh, and I want to request a title for you. How does "Queen of the Arctic Circle" sound?

LOL, yeah that or "Missing in action" as I seem to always miss out on all the fun.... or is that "Missing all the action"?

PS. PM me with your email addy and I'll share the bling-bling with ya.

You were gone? LOL, welcome back! We have been worried sick. We were about to call!!!

wow. those shots are something else. good luck on your work.

Really love #1, good work with such a high contrast of range.

LOL Nick, love your signature... therein lays the secret... RAW.
