A Copenhagen Street

I spend much time looking at the old photographer’s pictures from the fifties and earlier. Many of grey and gritty streets with children playing and mothers chatting. What most of them have in common, is the almost total absence of cars. I have spent much time in Copenhagen and other European cities photographing in the streets and every street of interest was choked with cars. The other day my son and I went into Copenhagen and came across this short stretch of street. It just had to be photographed.

Copenhagen Central Station

I like photographing at stations. They are so full og geometric shapes. I like the shining rails curving away from the platform, knowing that they stretch continuously to so many cities and towns. I enjoy seeing the arriving and departing passengers and their different personalities.

The sanctity of the church

Yesterday we went to Copenhagen to photograph in one of the better known churches. It is domed like St Pauls in London, but much smaller. I like to play with shallow depth of field and bokeh. Here is the result. I find the pews very photogenic.

A cold day in Copenhagen

It was cold in Copenhagen the other day. The benches on the City Square were deserted, but the pigeons made good use of warm air from a ventilation shaft

Power

Lately I have been catching the train to Copenhagen. It beats battling the traffic on the roads and searching for parking. Coming out of Copenhagen central station is a comglamoration of rail tracks. In the background is the power station named after the Danish discoverer of Electro Magnitism H. C. Ørsted. It was here in 1956
The IL-14 operated on an international Aeroflot passenger service from Moscow-Vnukovo (VKO) to Copenhagen (CPH), Denmark with an en route stop at Riga (RIX). Impacted a chimney and crashed into the southern harbour of Copenhagen killing all 23 people on board.
The light was very special so I quickly snapped a picture through the train window

Christmas in Tivoli Gardens

We went to Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen. The second oldest theme park in the world. Close to a 180 years. We felt that the Christmas theme was not as good as previous years so I concentrated on the decorations on the trees

A winter afternoon

Lately I have had great fun playing with Bokeh. My 50mm f1.4 mounted on my D750 deliver satisfactory results.
