Don't be afraid to open new doors

Life is a strange journey. Most of us have probably sometime wondered if the path we choose through life is the right one. Many people would probably also say that the question doesn't have an answer or that it is very complicated to answer such a question.

I would say that the answer is much more simple than most of us think.

You shouldn't be afraid to open new doors in your life, but you should also be aware that some doors need to be shut. The weather outside might have been nice when you once opened the door, but accept the fact the things change. When chilly winds are preventing you from open new doors, you should consider shut the doors leading to bad weather.

As long as you follow your heart, every path is the right path.

Mission impossible

Sometimes you just surprises yourself with how far you can stretch the camera settings and still get a pretty good picture. The above image was taken in a room with only a small amount of light from a window.
When I was about to take the picture I realized that the small amount of light would give me quite a challange getting the image that I wanted. I increased the ISO to 800, didn´t want to go to far to avoid noise. With a aperture of f/5.6 this resulted in a shutterspeed of 1/8 sec. A shutterspeed almost as long as an eternity when shooting handheld. Add a focal length of 135mm to this equation and most photagraphers would probably run away.

How I managed to keep that camera steady, with the above settings, on my knees, surprises me. But how the cat in the picture didn´t move the slightest is a mysterium.

Anything is obviously possible if you only have the guts to try.

Fire

It is easy to see the world that surround us without actually looking. With the use of my camera, I try to look at the world with different eyes. Look at the above image as an example. Who knew that firesparks created such beautiful lines of light, on their journey through the sky?
