Goals in Life

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

Pink Sky

himmel
There was a thunder storm raging through the area today, I was just about to turn the PC off and while it shut down I took a glance through the window, there at that same second I saw through the glass there was a lightning strike 40 meters down the road, looked like it hit the roof of a building there. Firefighters were at the spot 5 minutes later, but it seemed like no danger were found. After that I went with my cousin to some of the good view points in the city with the goal as to take some nice pictures of the clouds and skyline. The picture shown here is a cut-out of a result after using the HDR merge ability in PS, using a set of AEB pictures taken earlier when we were out.

Elephant Silhouette

elephant silouettexThis was something I started on yesterday and today I have worked on this and one other piece while testing out a Wacom board. It is really new for me to use such board, but I do see that some functions and tasks will go faster and more to-the-point. No long post today, the elephant is available at DeviantArt as a Print: LINK

Learning Mask Methods

spiral
Today I have tested out some mask methods by going through some tutorials; as a result I used some of the things I learned to make this. 2 pictures were used, the first one is of a sculpture at a school here in Kristiansand, and the second picture is of a street-art piece in Oslo.

Learning blur methods

sky
I was really going to work on one of the other projects today, but when I opened any of the files I ended up just staring at them. So instead I found some cloud pictures, some art from a freebee zone of a website and started testing out some of the different blur methods in photoshop. I also used 3 different pictures of the same clouds with different shutter time and used the lights and darks from the different versions of the picture. I still didn’t feel too fond of the final image, but I will post it anyway. I think I will retry a cloud picture at some other time to see if I can get that dramatic effect were the lights and darks are more extreme.

Finished Work: Inva_zion

invazion
Inva_zion was a project were i wanted to see what i could do using a series of pictures of poles and spires, the 4 i went with is the ones you see here and i used the head of a lightpole for the “ufo”. A fun project that at some points were really difficult to get right, the assembly and colors didnt seem to be right, but i thing the result was rather good.
This is one of the projects i hope i can take with me for a future exhibition.
