• Skansen Kronan is a hilltop fortification, southwest of the city center, built in the 17th century. In the 19th century it served as a prison, and now houses a military museum. Its twin Skansen Lejonet unfortunately finds itself in the middle of a railroad and industrial area but occasional tours are held.
• Close to Skansen Kronan is Haga, a city district with picturesque wooden houses from the 19th century. Don't forget to explore the more bohemian Långgatan streets (Första, Andra, Tredje and Fjärde Långgatan) nearby.

"Silent meeting"
Made by JanneO™
I took this at the museum of natural history in Gothenburg, Sweden. It's autobracketed 3 shots compo with +-0.7 exposures shot from tripod with long exposuretimes(2.5s, 4s and 6s) as I was using ISO100 to keep the noicelevels down and f11 to get deeper DOF. It also made all the people moving around in front of the camera invisible. For lense I used my Sigma 18-50 F2.8 on my Sony DSLR-A300. I tonemapped the image 2 times in Photomatix Pro 4. Each time different as one processing was for the ceiling and one was for the floor. This to get best result in both areas. I then masked them together with some parts from the original -0.7 exposure shot to get an optimal combination. This was done in CS5 as well as the final processing with sharpening and toning. I used about 30 layers while working with it. I usually don't get a chance to use my tripod when I have my family with me as there simple isn't time to set it up with my 3 year old son, Benjamin, running around but this time I pulled it off. I would love to hear your opinion now that I've put so much effort on this. Thank you so much in advance! Have a lovely day!...:D Cheers, Janne

Keillers Park HDR (remake)
Made by mescon
LOBB (Large on black background) Remake of a shot I took April 1st 2009. Wanted to get a warmer feeling, less halos and more of a mood going on it this edit. Also, I wanted to see if I had evolved in my postprocessing skills anything. I think I have, but I'll let you be the judge of that. The post-processing was: 1. Open in Lightroom, convert to DNG. 2. Merge to HDR in Photoshop. 3. Tonemap in Photomatix. 4. De-noise and sharpen in Photoshop. 5. Crop and straighten horizon and some exposure-corrections in Lightroom. 6. Add framing and name in Photoshop. 7. Save as 8bit jpeg :-( Shot with a Nikon D300 and a 16-85/3,5-5,6 lense. ISO100 on f/3.5 @ 16mm (equiv. to 24mm on 35mm film).


Waterdrop
Made by mescon
LOBB (large on black background) I just purchased an SB600 flash unit which can be remotely controlled by the D300 (wireless). I thought I'd try something with it today, so I setup a waterdrop scene! :) Here's a . The water is dark because I poured alot of chocolate powder (oboy ftw!) in the water. The resulting droplet that comes back up from each impact is not yet heavily saturated with chocolate, so it's much brighter. I dont have a real macro lense, so I used a 50/1,8D, focused on a pen that I held where the waterdrops fell, then cropped out the areas around the water. Hope you like my first try :)


The ignored...
Made by JanneO™
I bought myself Sigma's 70-300 lens and had to try it out in the streets of Gothenburg. I've always been intrigued by the organized, or so they say, beggars we have in the city but I still pitty them. I took several shots of this man from a good 10 meters away on a busy market street, Fredsgatan to be exact, and have to say I'm pleased with the zoom my new lens can achieve. Some HDR processing and texture work and here's the result...:) I did feel sorry for him so I gave him some coins. Needless to say, no one gave him any during those minutes I took these shots of him...organized or not...:/ Hope you like it!...

Schizophrenic
Made by u n c o m m o n
Facebook | twitter I looked in my stream this morning, and wondered why I have so many different styles, what makes me go in different ways, from super clean hdrs to this rusty and over processed. Perhaps its this place called flickr that makes go in different directions almost every single day. There are so many talented people on this site, you all make me a copy cat (or in your opinion perhaps schizophrenic)


The vikings are upon us and they may be wearing lipstick...
Made by Wilamber
The title which I feel has let me down a little is an attempt at humour. The boat you see is called Viking you can find more information about it here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viking_(barque) and the building next to it with the starburst is lovingly refered to by locals as Läppstiftet (The Lipstick) more information here if you are interested en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skanskaskrapan Kind regards Will

Here she is again...revisited...:) I recommend the If you like this one you might want to check out my most interesting works set: Post edit: Some people have said this is a beautifully rendered picture but I'd like to point out that this is actually from a real photo. This is some lucky bastard's ride parked outside my work in the parkinglot. It is a bracketed(-0,7 0 +0,7) 3 shot exposure tonemapped in Photomatix Pro 3 into HDR and postprocessed with textures in Photoshop CS3...so there you have it...;)


Warehouse #HDR #photog
Made by mescon
LOBB (Large on black background) Nikon D300 + Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 @ 10mm - 9 exposures, f/3.5, ISO 100. Warehouse in HDR from 9 exposures. Shot with my new Sigma 10-20/3.5 which is awesome. I absolutely love the focal length! This place used to be an old repair shop for locomotives, but was later converted into a warehouse/terminal. Some of the regular visitors of my photostream will probably recognize the location :-)


Barken Viking
Made by McSnowHammer
An old ship, Barken Viking, is permanently anchored in Gothenburg city. It's a hotel and restaurant/pub. To sit on deck and enjoy the sunset with a cold beer is veeery nice. The bright blur to the left is the Gothenburg wheel spinning. 65 sec exposure with ND8 and PL filters on a Tamron 10-24. f22, ISO 100. Edit (about 1 hour after upload): Replaced image. Accidentally uploaded wrong version first time. A little less colors in this one.

Splash!
Made by u n c o m m o n
I gave Lucis art a run on a picture from this weekend. A shot from the The Liseberg amusement park, this is the Flumeride. As they say on the Liseberg homepage Catch the surf! You ride in logs that can reach speeds of up to 60 km/h when they go over the top and tumble down, down, down to land with a SPLASH in the whirling waters below! So this must be the part and it looks better big on black.

Perhaps large will do it for you. Tech note; Sigma 1020 @ f8 with Cokin P120/P121 on a Canon350d fitted to a Manfrotto tripod. 9*3 exp, tonemapped in Photomatix, stitched in PTGui , levels and curves, fooled around with the colors.

Högsbohöjd, Gothenburg. This morning I was greeted to a biblical fireworks of color in the sky. It looked like an oil-painting. A cup of coffe on my balcony in -3 celsius with a blanket over my shoulders. Watching the birds. This is going to be a great day! Quote by Miles Davis. (View on black recommended)


Dusk at Älvsborgsbron
Made by McSnowHammer
Today I spent the afternoon shooting Älvsborgsbron at long exposures. By the time I shot this, I had changed the ND110 to an ND8... I like how lights get really long reflections in water :) To get the foreground stones show up clearly, I blended in some HDR there. 601 sec, f16, iso200, tamron 10mm, ND8 filter
