As an followup on yesterdays Grimsmyra miniatures, I found this picture taken from Baneheia overlooking Nybyen (“Newcity”?) in Kristiansand. The players are schoolmates from Noroff and one of our teachers Jørund. I did this over at least 10 times before i were anything near happy about the result, so i ended up with something that works as an “how it can look” picture to show the effect.
My teacher Jørund is photoblogging at repost.no check it out.
Nybyen in Kristiansand
A few days ago I went together with my friend JC and my brother up the stone-stairs of the side of Ravnedalen, kind of steep steps and a good 15-20 minutes to climb for the top, but the result is a nice view overlooking Grim with Kvadraturen and Odderøya in the back.
Ravnedalen was built in the years 1874–1878 by military soldiers under Colonel Joseph Frantz Oscar Wergeland’s command.
Anyway, i didn@t go there just to look at the view myself, i also went to shoot some photos from the climb and the top. Here you got one of the shots faked to resemble miniature (using the quickmask-gradient-lensblur method)
The view from the top of the stairs in Ravnedalen.
This is the picture I have made for the Noroff creative contest.
It would help me a lot if everyone would click 5 stars on my picture at this site: LINK

Hi, I am back after a while on holyday, and also some days without connection to the www, some problems at the internet provider’s side, really annoying. We had a really nice trip going from 13 degrees Celsius and landed at night in around 30 degrees Celsius. I will try to give a little recap of the vacation here.
Already on the first night we went to a pub down the street from the hotel, the next day we decided we wanted to check out the pool, and had a really good time just relaxing at one of the hotels 3 pools. For diner we went to the hotel restaurant (not the best choice but we needed to start somewhere)… we had mousak (more…)
I have not had time to write as much here as I would have liked the last days, so I will do a recap of the last days most interesting events. I have for the last days done an odd job one hour trip by car away from here at Evje. On Wednesday this week I had an expensive experience that I deserved for sure. I was kinda tired and a little hungry and wanted to get home as soon as possible, so I stepped on the speed to get home earlier, I normally don’t speed much over the speed limits. When I was 15 minutes away from home, at the end of the 70 km/h limits were the 50-60s start there was this annoying burgundy Volvo V70 driving a little too close to me, so I speeded even more to get a little gap between me and the Volvo, but it came back after a little while each time I did this. I entered the 60 limit and after the first corner in the 50s that comes right after, down the hill after Høyetun the Volvo was back again, then it came to me; “I have screwed up, haven’t I?” Right after I thought this the blue strobes went on and I had to stop. “Could I see your driver’s license please, we measured you too 88,55 km/h over 2 kilometers in the 70 limit zone.” So much for wanting to get home a little earlier, the cost came to a fine of 3600 NOK and 1 penalty point on the license (If you get 8 points over 3 years you lose the license for 6 months). My first Fine ever since I got my license 8 years ago. The thing is that I was planning on giving myself a new lens for my camera for that money, something I would need to forget.
I have on my way home the other days been looking for nice photo opportunities, and yesterday the lighting made a sight that I drive past each day look really good, it’s the ruins of a long forgotten bridge. (One two of the wooden poles still standing) I got more good pictures that day, but I will only show one of them here, the rest is possible to see at my DeviantArt site: LINK
I have also received more works from potential artists for the Illustrated story, I am looking forward to the time were the story will be realized.
What would you do if you didn’t have any more goals in your life? I wouldn’t know since I have more goals than I would ever manage to reach. I want to live in another country than Norway, I want to make an animated series with the use of a story made by myself, I want to design and build “green” technology houses, I want to see all the magnificent places out there, I want to be a space tourist and I want to find people that I can live this life with.
If I ever end up with all my goals completed, I would think I have failed and set too easy goals.
Sorry, there was no post yesterday. There was this engagement party for My cousin Odd and his “now” fiancé and I ended up too drunk to be able to write anything even slightly logic here. The picture I bring with me for this post is a landscape from Bortelid, I have to admit that I have tweaked the picture a little :P
