My worst camping trip… ever…

9 09 2013

This weekend we just have left behind us (06-07.09.13), I decided to leave for a nice mountain-trip on my own… wifey was off to London, and I was keen to add another 2000 meter mountain to my list… Rasletinden @ 2105 meter was selected.. one of the easiest mountains in Norway above 2000 meter above sea level to summit, peace of cake I thought…

Well, arriving at the thought-out, selected camp-site, it started to rain, and I thought, well, let me just get up the outer-tent, and everything will be more cosy inside, taking care of the inner-tent in a dry, more relaxed atmosphere… then came the wind… lot’s of it… I had to tie down the tent while mounting it to avoid losing it… finishing of everything inside, including the first beer, I had to go outside to.. ehh.. well the beer wanted to leave, and then the fog had arrived…

I will leave some additional comments below the pictures, and possible you will agree with me that this was not optimal conditions for a nice mountain-trip… 😉





Thank God it’s Friday…!

Salt ‘n Pepper…

12 07 2013

Wifey and me have been helping some friends of ours to watch their dog while on vacation, the breed is “Dwarf Poodle” I think ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poodle ), and from a photographic viewpoint, a great challenge. It is black, really black… Well, here are some photos of them… 🙂

The first day my wife started to call them Salt and Pepper… I found that rather amusing.. 🙂

It seems like my very mint Summarit (right) has to go after having picked up this old Summilux from 1972… 🙂

Both lenses shown @ max aperture… the Summilux @ f1.4 and the Summarit @ f2.5

Before I got it I thought I would have to keep both… one for minimal size, and the other for maximum light-sucking… to my surprise the size and weight differences between the two are very (well, not very..) minimal… 🙂
