Orange and Blue
When I drive my son to school, I always carry a camera with me. Most days, I see nothing worth stopping for, but sometimes I am rewarded, like this particular morning. I just had to stop the car just outside Gevninge. Photo by: Jacob Surland, http://www.caughtinpixels.com. Licensed Creative Commons, Non-Commercial, no derivatives v4.0.
Blue Sunset
I went with a colleague to Kulhuse to shoot the sunset. And it was a beautiful sunset, and I got many great shots. Unfortunately, my sensor was so dirty, that this is only second shot I have finished. I need to remove hundreds of dust spots.

Operahouse in purple sunrise
These crazy clouds are almost straight out of the camera. This sunrise, is one of the craziest I have ever seen, and the weirdest part, is that I never saw the Sun itself. I saw it shine on the city behind me, but before it got clear of the horizon, it disappeared behind clouds. I shot this photo from Skuespilhuset and it shows Operahuset (The Opera House) in Copenhagen, Denmark. Photo by: Jacob Surland, http://www.caughtinpixels.com.

Two Gates in Rothenburg
I have been to Rothenburg ob der Tauber quite a few times. There is something about this medieval town in the lower part of Germany, that attracts, not only me, but people. A city wall surrounds the town, and some parts, like this part, has a second wall. Look closely, and you can see the tower of the inner city wall.

X-Wing Squadron in Sweden

Angels Fortress in Rome
We went down to the riverside during the day, to shoot the Castel Sant'Angelo from below.
We had the feeling, that it was probably not the safest place in Rome after dark. And yet, we had seen many night shots from down there.
We decided to take the Blue Hour up around the Vatican, and then work our way down here to Castel Sant'Angelo, and take the late blue hour or the first of the night if we felt safe.
By the time we got down to the stairs leading to the riverside, a few people hung around in the area. I started the descent of the stairs, looking carefully around.
I didn't get more than 10 steps down, and the stairs were splashed in what looked exactly like fresh blood, and I turned around. Even if I wanted a photo from down there, I didn't want it that bad.

Rain in Venice
Maybe I did not sing in the rain, while in Venice, but somebody was. Several parties were scattered around the cafes at Piazza San Marco, and people had a great time. It was raining fairly heavy, and I didn't do a lot of shooting, while standing directly in the rain. Even though my equipment is weather proof, there is no reason to drown it.

The Millers Pub in Chicago
I arrived at Chicago at Sct Patricks day without knowing it. I knew about the basics, it's an Irish tradition, and that the river is colored green and there is a great party in the city of Chicago. I realized it when I saw people walking around with green hair and funny hats and everybody was so happy. I shot of the Millers Pub in Chicago with their Sct Patricks Days sign on.

A morning is like a box of chocolates, you never know, what you you're gonna get. And sometimes you get rewarded with the most fantastic sunrise. And at other times, you get nothing. This morning, we got the most beautiful blue hour light. Absolutely worth getting up for.

Kalvebodbrygge
This is a vew of Kalvebodbrygge in Copenhagen seen from Islandsbrygge. This photo is a part of a private photo project of mine. The idea is that I shoot photos from more or less the same location, in the same direction.
I will see how many different photos I can get from here. I use different compositions, photo techniques and shoot in varying light.
On this particular morning there was a little ice in the water.

This photo is used in my tutorial on creating magic photos using Lab Color. Read the full blog post here: http://goo.gl/GJDijF
I shot this photo of the Eiffel Tower from the Jardin des Trocadéro. When I got there, the fountains were empty, though. A few people ran around in some of the empty basins. I also ventured into one of the upper, to get a different angle. When I had shot what I wanted, I continued towards the Eiffel Tower itself, and while walking, the fountains suddenly filled with water. So glad, it was not, while I was standing with my camera equipment in one ogf them! I hope no one got wet feet.

Reflections in the Seine
I think 100% pure reflections in the Seine is not entirely common. However, on this morning, I got to see 5 minutes of them, before the first boat came through. A still drunk, and (according to himself) stoned guy came while I was shooting, and told me, that the boat was a party boat going back from an all night party.

Warm View from Accademia Bridge in Venice
I had live music when I shot this photo from the famous Accademia Bridge in Venice. In the evening, a couple of musicians came and played classical music. Maybe I should get a little band around to follow me around? It is nice with live music, when you work.

Three Gondolas seen from Rialto Bridge
Crossing the Rialto Bridge is a must do experience when visiting Venice. And if you have the option to plan it, try to do it at sunset. The houses along Canal Grande look just awesome with the lights and colors. Stay and watch the traffic for a while. Gondolas, Varporettos, taxi boats, and ordinary people cruising in their small speed boats. It's a very busy area. Photo by: Jacob Surland, http://www.caughtinpixels.com

I just love Piazza San Marco, even during the crowded daytime hours. Photography, of course is difficult, when there are many people, but it is a very fantastic square. And in the morning, it's just stunning, and the people have almost disappeared. Believe it or not, I did not clone any people out of this one.
