L’eau gelée
We are having some very cold weeks and for once, this has paid off in photo ops. Went to one of my favorite spots near here and it treated me rather well. This photo, whose title can mean frozen water (or frost water), I think portrays the cool weather we have been having.
Shutter Speed: 25s
Aperture: ƒ/13
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Focal Length: 10mm (15mm in 35mm equiv)

Camera: Nikon D90
Lens: Sigma 10-20 ƒ/4.0-5.6
I have felt for quite some time that the time had come to upgrade my older D50 to a new body and had planned this for the coming year. I had to jump at the sale prices offered this week (by the store where I happen to work), about $400 off the regular price!
So home with me today came my latest gear addition, my brand new D90. More photos will come with that tomorrow as I get out shooting some. I might get around to some closeups tonight of the tree if I am lucky. Otherwise, tomorrow it is!
Last Minute Gift Ideas

I’ve been working all week in the camera store where I am part-time employed. This means that time to get away and buy presents have been to say the least, limited. Therefore, in order to have all gifts ready for Christmas Eve (we celebrate here in Sweden on the eve), I’ve had to think and find some last minute gifts that I wanted to share.
iTunes Gift Card
You can always go and open up iTunes and get an iTunes gift card that you can print out. Perfect as well if you have a music lover on your list. In fact, I recommended this already in my gift guide.
It should be available in most countries and if your family member/friend has got an iPhone, this would also be perfect as it is good for all apps on the app store as well as all the music, TV shows, movies and more.
Shooting the School Christmas Event

The School Band Playing
I’ve become somewhat the school photographer now for the year and a half I’ve attended this school. We have an annual christmas event where the first year students and third year’s, do some typical Swedish folk dances and entertain during an evening where the school choir also sings and performs together with our school band.
It is a great evening, although it is somewhat tiring to shoot for about four hours non-stop, then dash home and process most images and get them up in two hours before bed, still to be able to get up in the morning for classes as usual.
Well, it went fine this year too, as it did last year, if not better.
The photo on the right of this post is while the band is playing and the one below here is of the third year’s “clog dance”.

My great friend Firgs just tweeted a link to a YouTube video that is so very true and very funny if you ever felt the same. It’s called “Procrastination” from Tales of Mere Existence. Check it out below (and make sure to pay a visit to Firgs site too):
