As I was traveling in Europe last summer I decided to take an online introductory class to Photography. I knew that it was going to be a very basic class compared with what I'd done in photography before, but you can never get too much practise in photography. I also thought it would be interesting to take an online class while I was traveling so that I could experiment a little with the traditional tourist photographing. The assignments in the class and the online critique we had every week made the class very interesting and I was able to further develope my skills.
 
 
 

Mini documentary—the night scene in Milan

This was my favourite assignment in this class. I had to take photographs for a documentary and got to choose the subject myself. I though it would be fun to take my camera with me when I went out dancing with my friends. Somehow I thought this would be an easy task, but due to the constantly moving subjects it was a real challenge.

Nick and his friend at Just Cavalli Café. I like their expressions here as they look exhausted, but at the same time there seem to be energy going on in the picture.

Alex dancing at Hollywood disco. There are a lot of things going on here, all showing energy. I like the mystique over the subjects.

 

 

 

 

Final Portfolio for Photo 5

We didn’t have to, but I choose to concentrate on one type of photography for the final portfolio. Night photography is really difficult and takes a lot of time, but when you get it right it’s all worth it! The following photos are 8 of my favourite night photographs I took during my trips last summer.

The Pantheon in Rome. I like the feeling of harmony in this picture. I didn't have a tripod when I took it, but I found some tools to keep the camera still.

Forum Romanum in Rome. I like the moon that shows above the dome.

Piazza Venezia in Rome. Here's some mix of ancient with the present as the cars drive pass "Il Vittoriano".

Lago di Como, Italy. One of those night photos filled with light.

Lugano, Switzerland. The reflections on the water is a favourite for me in night photography.

Vänern, Sweden. The golden tone in this picture almost makes it feel like a dream.

Lake outside of Skara, Sweden. Again, the reflection on a lake. The picture brings out the beuaty of a Swedish summer night.
