Fujifilm X-T2, 18mmF2 lens, one magic girlfriend and a setting sun!
It is autumn in Denmark and Charlene and I are spending some nice relaxing time in the country at my father’s place. It may be cold, hot, windy, rainy and sunny – four seasons in one day – but it is always beautiful. The elements of nature are felt just outside the door. This is home, this is what I knew as a child. It is good for the soul to immerse myself in the outdoors with my loved one. I am immensely happy I took this road.

Oh and I have a new camera! Fujifilm Nordic has very kindly loaned me an X-T2, the successor to my favourite camera ever, the X-T1. Much more to come, suffice to say I think I do not think I shall ever need another camera. This truly is perfection for me! The best camera I have ever used. Here is a small slice of autumn with the X-T2 – in glorious Anton Corbijn and P-A Jörgensen inspired black and white, I seem to love shooting everything in black and white lately.
X-T2, 18mm lens. The low sun on an autumn afternoon burns long shadows into the landscape.
X-T2, 23mmF2 lens. I borrowed Charlene’s new 23mmF2 lens for a day and I totally get why she loves it so much.
I really love this one 🙂 X-T2 and the 23mmF2 lens. Many would not consider 35mm a portrait lens, but it is for me, I love portraits where I can include the environment.
X-T2, 18mm lens, ancient tripod found in my father’s closet, a moon and the stars. Oh and me freezing my ass off on my father’s porch, I suffer for my art I really do!

X-T2, the 18mm lens and a very cold Charlene at Thorup Beach as a storm front hits us. Suffering for art!
X-T2, manually stitched pano of the storm at Thorup Beach, shot with the 18mm lens. It was so windy the in-camera pano function kept stopping and telling me to pan better, cheeky thing! Manual it is!
This road, us, forever.

Beautiful images and text!
…PS: I also consider the 35mm as a portrait lens as I can tell stories with it including the background. Keep up your inspiring work, greetings from Germany, Kevin
Thank you so much Kevin. You are spot on with the description of shooting portraits with a 35mm!
Superb shots and text. Coming also from the countryside, I can totally relate to what it does to your soul to return. Love the 4 seasons in DK. Your Anton Corbijn style is unmatched.
Thanks so much Jesper! I am glad you like my very Anton inspired (ok, I am really shamelessly ripping off his technique, I admit it) work, but it is nothing compared to the master himself! 🙂
