Citadellkliniken

This clinic is right by the beachfront area of Landskrona and across from the Citadel area. I photographed it at night almost two hours after sunset, hand held. Nikon D850, Nikon 35mm f1.8 lens, iso 8000, f5.6, 1/60s, -1.0 EV, processed in DxO PL6.

Citadellbadet Building - Night

The building at one of the the swimming pools in Landskrona, but at night... in winter. No water in the pool right now but the building still lights up at night. I think it's very pretty.
 

Are Sunset Photos Cliché?

I read an article online recently where they labeled sunset (and sunrise) photography cliché. Maybe it is and if it is, what a wonderful cliché it is! Our sun has captivated us humans for many millennia and for good reason, it is such a powerful part of our lives, both giving us life and power but conversely it also influences our climate and has the power to bring about slow entropic decay and destruction.

Well whatever, I say long live the sunset photos!! Here are a few more:

Swedish Hobbit House

In a part of the earthen wall defenses of the Landskrona Citadel there is this entrance to what can only be a Hobbit house. (I assume it's actually some kind of storage room) Very Middle Earth.

Harbour Scenes

The harbour area around the Landskrona City Hall area is certainly worth a visit with its blend of old and modern buildings. Very photographic indeed.





Reflecting on the Landskrona Stadshus

The reflection of the Landskrona City Hall is almost prettier than the building itself.

Landskrona (again)

Living in this beautiful little southern Swedish town means that I get to photograph it quite a lot... here are some more.

Häljarps Mölla

I have seen this old windmill, outside the town of Häljarp, from the train many times over the years but never sought it out to photograph it until this last weekend and I'm glad I did, it is a beautifully preserved example of a 1700's mill & great to find one in such wonderful condition. The mill was in continuous operation from 1784 until the 1940s and donated to the local heritage association in 1952. The windmill is now a listed building.

Light, Form and Texture 14

On a discovery of minimalist black and white photography where light, form and texture are more important than subject matter.

Warm Bus Shelter

I was drawn to taking this photograph because of the great contrast of the blue evening light dominating not only the sky but the entire landscape while the bus shelter was illuminated like a beacon of warm hope in contrast to the descending dusk.



Tulips in the Studio

Just a bunch of beautiful tulips photographed in my tiny home studio today. I have included some wide shots of the lights as well so you can get a feel of my setup. Two Nikon Speedlights fired wirelessly via Nikons wonderful CLS system.


 

...and the pull back shots.
