Analogue trip to “The Horse shoe”

Finally got some pictures developed from a small excursion to a place named as in the head line, “The Horse shoe” i have no idea why its called that. But its a small weird place, nudged in between large power plant across the water, and large industry on both side. Its located on the coast of the “Limjord” in the nothern part of Denmark, near my hometown of Aalborg.

But its a small piece of nature in between all the industrial ugliness where people can access a small beach with good swimming possibilities. There is even an official snorkel lane, under the water. There is a lot of both small cottages, and great modern looking summerhouses in a small cluster of house in the middle.

Pictures are from January i think, just got them scanned now, but there is no exif with film 🙂 But its shot on Spotmatic f + Fujifilm Superia 400 home scanned on Epson V550

Morning Light in Covid-19 times

Its a weird world these days, and for +2 weeks i have been working from home, im lucky i can ! I usually pendle around 3 hours a day. But these days i have time to go out in the morning before work, and enjoy the insanely good light and weather we have been blessed with after a long wet and gray winter. So there some small good things about it. Stay safe !

Pushed Portra 400 look on Fuji files

I love the look you get from Portra 400 when you overexpose it a stop or so on a sunny day, i love the slightly washed out colors, and the overall look, but its hard to acquire the film, and its damn expensive! So i have been experimenting in Lightroom to get that look on my fuji files (X100F, X-T2, X-Pro1), which are my all time favorite digital cameras. This is the first time i actually succeeded, well at least in my own opinion. Still waiting for a roll of the “real” stuff to compare. But its on the way, but until then i glad for my digital “fall back” solution,

The pictures are all taken in my hometown of Aalborg, Denmark, few people around in these corona days, as it should be. Stay safe, and keep your distance.

The abandoned peat factory

Todays expedition went to an old Peat factory in the Northern part of Jutland in Denmark, its actually on the Kommunes homepage for tourists

Kaas Briketfabrik (patent fuel) was builded in 1925 in the moor of Lundergaard.
Ib Nyboe got the idea to make hard pressed briquettes, which was more profitable to carry across bigger areas. During 2. World War, as the factory was producing at highest level, about 600 men worked in the factory.
In April 1966 the factory closed, because of crossing to other forms of fuel and lack of moorearth.
Today the factory is derelichted.
Visit her for more info and guided tour https://www.visit-jammerbugten.com/jammerbugten/plan-your-trip/kaas-briketfabrik-gdk597149

Its a place with quite a history, and 2 men were killed in a big explosion in 1933, and its a big part of the small town, even here, almost 100 years later. Its a place where you should be very cautious, it can fall down around you, and lots of tricky holes in floors and walls. But its a dream place for a photographer with a passion for abandoned places.
