Im have been so lucky to have seen the Taj Mahal in Agra India, it’s certainly on my “things you have to see before you die” list
It’s an incredible piece of architecture, and a beauty to look at.
Well there isen’t that much to say other the go there and see it yourself.
I added sharpen, color and contarst in Photoshop, I also cloned away a few people here and there, cause thats the only “problem” with Taj Mahal there is always a shit load of people walk around ruining your picture.

I was walking around Copenhagen with a very good friend of mine, we where just talking and enjoying the weather, I of course had brougth my camera, and snap a few shoots here and there.
This one is from the Royal Libery, also known as the Black Diamond, because the facade consists of 2,500 m2 Absolute Black granite from Zimbabwe
As far as post processing goes it’s pretty much an out of the box image, I only added some contrast and sharpen to it in Photoshop.

I went out to shoot some night time photos in DC and forgot the camera shoe for my tripod :/ Here, the camera is sat on the ground with a small stone under the lens to raise it a bit – When you are scatter brained – you must be imaginative.
Well anyway I like the way the image turned out and I don’t think I would have been able to make a better photo if I had had my tripod with me.
A 5 RAW exposure HDR made in Photomatrix and with some minor adjustments in Photoshop.

My parents have this huge old chestnut tree in their garden, my dad have for many years wanted to cut it down, because when the leaves fall off in autum it just messes up the whole garden, and he hates cleaning it up, but my mom – and my brother and I – likes the tree and thats enough to make it stay.
I shoot this photo in early spring 2010 to keep as a memory of the tree, just in case my father gets his way someday.
It’s a 5 RAW exposure HDR, made in Photomatrix and I did a lot of cleaning up afterwards in Photoshop, cause it was a bit windy the day and that made the branches move around a bit, I also toned down the green color of the grass.

On a walk in the world famous amusenment park Tivoli in Copenhagen, I made a stop by the bumpercars, to get some shoots of them.
I didn’t bring my tripod (don’t know why) but I was lucky to finde a realing that I could place my camera on.
Sometimes I kind of like not having my tripod with me, cause I think it’s rather funny to scope around finding places to put my camera and at the same time get a nice angle for the image.
This is a single shoot HDR, made in Photomatrix and adjusted in Photoshop.

On a small photowalk through Copenhagen, with some friends from the local photoclub, we came by Marmorkirken (Marbel Church in Dansih)
Where we went inside, it’s a really cool place to shoot cause your are able to bringe your tripod, I don’t know if you a allowed to but I been there a few times and nobody has told me I can’t.
NB: 47 is my lucky number.
This photo is an HDR made from 5 RAW exposures, after Photomatrix I did some adjusting in Photoshop, and I used the Topaz adjust plug-in to ad a bit more sharpen and pop to the image.

Well there isn’t much to say about this photo, I was in Paris with my girlfriend, and of course I had to make a picture of the Eiffel Tower, and this one is the one I think worked out the best.
Tower info:
- The tower is 324 meters high.
- There are 1,665 stairs to the top.
- Maximum fluctuations in strong winds is 12 centimeters.
- The tower expands up to 15 centimeters in strong heat.
- Eiffel Tower costed 7.8 million francs
- It took 300 steel workers to built the tower from 1887 to 1889.
- Maintenance of the tower requires 60 tonnes of paint every seven years.
There is hardly done anything in the post process, I adjusted some contrast and some levels thats it.

My girlfriend and I were on a weekend trip to Tourrette Sur Lupe, France in the spring of 2010. We had rented a car and most of the Saturday were spent on driving to the nearby towns, among them Point Sur Lupe – located about 8 kilometers from Tourrette, here I found this nice looking abandon brasserie.
If you look really carefully you are able to see my reflection in the window.
I could have cloned it away, but I thought what the heek, lets leave it there.
It’s an HDR from 5 RAW exposures, after Photomatrix, I ajusted the colors, contrast and croped the photo in Photoshop.

In the winter, in Casablanca there is a very strong sea fog blowing in from the Atlantic Ocean, and it gives these very foggy beaches. This man and his horse is no more than 80-85 feet away from me.
But you need to be carefull with your camera, cause the fog comes from water containing salt. I believe, however, that you have to be in the fog a long time in order to ruin your camera.
The photo is as it was made with my D300, I have adjusted a little contrast and corrected the image horizontally, but other then that nothing.

In Frederiksberg garden – Denmark, there is this tree that parents and their children use to “sacrifice” their pacifier, when the kids are too old to use it.
“Sutter” is the Danish word for pacifiers.
This photo is “straight out of the box” meaning that I didn’t do anything except of adding contrast and a bit of color in the post process.
