Something different, again.

Christmas. What a time. Not exactly my favourite, but we won't get into that now. The over-capitalization of a religious holiday is another discussion completely.

Christmas was very good for me this year though. So nice to be with family and friends again. I love my home. The picture going up now is a very cool and sweet reminder of home for me. Its my two little niese's
Jessie (left) and Kirsty are my brother's (Mark) kids. They are very fun and sweet, even if Jessie does scream ALOT!

I actually took this picture on Christmas day. We had a cool chill session at my brothers place which is right on the side of a vlei. Good Times.

I have been putting off editing for a while now..... Seriously not in the mood to sit and tweak photo's for hours on end. But I guess i have to get started some where. Let this be a beginning.

Enjoy, N.

Back in Norway... Round 3

Wow.... Been a while. For those of you that dont know, I have been back home in Cape Town for the last couple of weeks. What an awesome trip. Road tripping, Skating, Shooting some pictures, chilling, losing my mind and almost collapsing from exhaustion at a dubstep party and lots of chilling with good friends and having good vibes.

So now what? Im back in Norway, its somewhere in between -5C and +3C. Which is refreshing, but ultimately not that great. Im going out to work on the 6th of Feb, possibly sooner, and will be working as much as possible for 2012. Im applying for Norwegian residency on Monday. We'll see how that works out.

Hopefully i can get some of my ideas to the point of fruition this year aswell. I have a great idea for a side venture that i will be able to while I'm at work. Im fairly excited about this. Hopefully I will be able to start making some money back to justify all the lenses and lighting gear.

One little thing that been bugging me. I should have bought a 5D mk2 instead of a 7D. I once heard Zack Arias say: "I would rather have a used beat up old 5D mk2 over a brand new 7D. At this point. So would I. The rumors are flying around at the moment about the new 5D mk3 which is meant to hit the shelves this within the next few months. Assuming it keeps in tradition with what we have got in the past, Bye Bye 7D.

I have plenty plenty plenty photo's I have promised to show and put up, and i will. Just give me some time. Ill start with a couple from SA. Mostly randoms, but i like them.

Hopefully I can get motivated to do more sooner. Here are some time-lapse (hopefully non-HDR-ish) shots from SA.

Cheers, Nic.
