VISUAL Diary

An attempt to subvert social media and stay in touch with those around me. Remember when Instagram was for sharing photos?

September Sun-12.jpg

ƒ/5.6 | 1/100 | ISO100

Just a simple scene from walking around Reykjavík. Love the way the colours coalesce in this alleyway, from the sign to the house’s exterior to the jungle like garden, it all just works so well together.

Saturday Night

The fact that I can take this picture handheld, in the middle of a Saturday night is something that I will never get over. When I was learning how to be a photographer, a shot like this would have required at least 1600 ISO or a tripod and neither would have been easy to come by when casually walking out of an art show.

Fun with Framing

I’ve been looking at this frame for a long time, there is a table at my favourite coffee shop that looks right down this way. I finally got the light I wanted and luckily, Hanna was working in her normal spot in the space, so I was able to snap the above shot. This is one of the many photos I have been taking lately that really shines at the largest viewable size, and unfortunately doesn’t feel too compelling on an phone screen.

Terminator

From Wikipedia:

A terminator or twilight zone is a moving line that divides the daylit side and the dark night side of a planetary body. The terminator is defined as the locus of points on a planet or moon where the line through the center of its parent star is tangent. An observer on the terminator of such an orbiting body with an atmosphere would experience twilight due to light scattering by particles in the gaseous layer.

Scene on a Friday

Just a simple scene of some people greeting each other at a special spot in town on a Friday afternoon. There is something really lovely about sunny winter days in Reykjavík, when the sun hangs low the entire time and you get the light that cast shadows across the frame.
