Inspiration!

Yay! I've been hit by a sudden burst of inspiration and I'm already working on my new self portraits!
Also, I've been working on different ways to display the theme: Summer. For example, I'm gonna try at shoot a strawberry in the second it hits the surface of a bowl of milk! It's going to be a lot of work, but I think its gonna be awesome!
Can't wait to get out and shoot tomorrow - its gonna be great :)!

Another thing: I really wanna try and use a model for some of the ideas I had in mind, so it's not just all self-portraits. Only thing is, it HAS to be a guy - otherwise the pictures wont make any sense.
If you wanna help out, just send me a mail @ imagophotos@gmail.com.
In general, if you wanna have some shots taken for free, just send me a mail. This will be a great way for me to experiment with different shots and ideas. This goes for both boys and girls!


Thats all for now, I'm out.

WCU - The love is back!

Hi everybody! I just finished editing my photos of the danish ultimate tournament WCU - Wonderful Copenhagen Ultimate. There are too many photos for just a simple post on this blog, so instead just click my flick photostream on the left or just follow this link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/frederikmiddelboe/

First 5D mark II shots!



Hi everybody! It's time for the first photos shot on my new 5D mark II camera :) These photos are from a danish church and graveyard called Blovsterød Kirke. I don't know why I went there, but I did and it worked out pretty well. Tell me your thoughts on the photos, as I would love criticism.










Hope you all like them photos :)
Stay frosty

New freakin' camera!

Oh yea, thats right!
You guessed it ;)
Finally, after saving up during the last 6 months, I have bought my new Canon EOS 5D Mark II, together with the 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM lens! I can't even begin to describe how thrilled I am for this purchase!

The lens is fantastic, f/2.8 makes it able to shoot in very low light whilst making the focus extremely sharp!
At 24 mm the lens is a decent wide-angel and without any distortion at all! The only downside for this lens is the weight. Together with the 5D body, it's 'wrist snappingly' heavy!
But, as a reviewer from DigitalRev says: "Who needs wrists anyway?", and I must say that I agree.
Because if you look away from the weight, I can find no downsides of this lens at all.

The camera itself, exceeds every possible expectation I had. The pictures it produces are of a mindblowing standard and I'm still only beginning to learn how to use this camera.
I'm still getting used to the cameras controls, for example: every time I display photos I have just taken on the camera, it will automatically show me where the picture is overexposed by highlighting the area in black. I find this rather annoying, because I can see with my own eyes where the image is overexposed.
After several days with the camera, I still haven't figured out how to turn this darn effect off. If anyone does, please tell me, because I'm on the edge of a nervous break-down!

All kidding aside, I still have a lot to learn and there is only one way to do so. Shoot more photos, which means more posts for you all, so yeah! :)
Therefor, keep an eye on my blog the next days!

I'm out and stay juicy.

Party on the country side!

Yesterday I spend an awesome night in Blistrup together with Emil Petersson & Thomas Høg!
Thomas and Emil were the DJ's of a double 18th birthday and I joined in as the photographer.
We were accompanied by aprox. 90 drunk teenagers who all felt like dancing. So easy to say, we had an fantastic night and I got some great shots!













So, I hope you all like them photos!
Also, check out Thomas and Emil's facebook page http://www.facebook.com/hoegpetersson
If you want to hire these two amazing guys, you can do it through that site.
Aaand of course, if you are interested in a photographer, I'm also available for booking.
Obviously these are not all of the photos from last night, and if anyone is interested in them just send me a mail @ imagophotos@gmail.com

I'm out.
Stay frosty,

Next Project!

Hi everybody.
Because it has been some time since my last photo-post, I just wanted to let you in on what I'm working on at the moment.
Loooooooo0ng shutter speeds!

This picture is not mine btw.







The long shutter speed is an amazing tool, which opens up for a world of photography.
Not only can it be used to play with lights (highways, streets etc.), but it's a fantastic way to shoot water to get a smooth and grey surface.

I'm still very new to this kind, so don't expect too much.
I'll do my best to get some great shots.

So yea, thats what I'm working on at the moment.
Hope it wont be too long before i got some results to show you all.

I'm out!
