Thalia


Thalia , originally uploaded by L.C.Nøttaasen.

Thalia and I went out to Ølberg a Friday afternoon after work (Thalia still in her work outfit) to play around with our cameras and enjoy the nice weather.

These pictures were taken using a Nikon D90 and a Nikon bare SB600 flash, camera left, triggered by the Nikon CLS system.

The flash and camera was never far apart, but the system worked flawlessly. With the light amount falling rapidly as the sun approached the horizon I continuously has to change the flash power.

Skoda Fabia 1.4 MPI Cylinder Head Gasket

If you are planning on changing the head gasket on your Skoda Fabia 1.4 MPI (push rod engine) here are some pictures that might help you.

I've never worked on an engine before so I used the Haynes DIY handbook for guidance. I did most of the work myself, but the surface grinding was done by a local shop. With parts and the grinding the total cost was 1/10 of what the Skoda repair shop wanted.

Since I've never done anything like this before I used around six hours to take everything apart. Including jacking up the car, draining the coolant and reading every section in the Haynes book to many times.
The reassemble part took me three hours. If I needed to do it all again, I would probable need less then 5 hours for the entire process. And its all easy work on this engine, just a lot of bolts and nuts.

(clicking on the picture will take you to my flickr stream, where you can browse through the pictures)

Rogafest 2010 - Kristian Valen (Sibbe) [HD]

Here is a short video (medley) from Kristian Valen's performance on Rogafest 2010. Filmed with my Nikon D90 dslr. The sound is what you might expect from a build in mono microphone :oD

Trying out some car photography at night with my brother.

Best photo of the bunch, no flash reflections in the paint on this one.

Swan


Swan, originally uploaded by Magnera.

I was out walking Chuck, my golden retriever nephew, planning to take some long exposure shots after the sun had set. This swan came up to us hoping that we had brought some food. The long exposure shot will have to wait, my battery ran out and I got cold.

Don't think to hard, you might hurt yourself

Strobist info:
Nikon SB-600 through white umbrella. Triggered by Cactus V4. Lumapro LP 120 as fill, triggered optically.

My brother and Chuck (the dog) is away for the weekend. Which gives me the opportunity to play with my new flashes.
Any tips on improvements are, probably, appreciated :oD

Waves long exposure


Waves long exposure, originally uploaded by Magnera.

Tried to use a light stand as a tripod. It did not work that well, specially not in the wind.

Nikon D90 video: Windsurfer somersault on wave

Its not easy focusing with the d90 using only the screen as reference. Some more practice might help. The somersault, or almost whipout, is near the end of the video.
