Bring your best smile to Velothon Stockholm, 13/9

Hope to see you at the start and at the finish line of Velothon Stockholm 13/9. This time I will temporarily(?) leave my bike at home and instead bring my camera. Make sure your bike is as polished as ever before and bring your best smile to the start – …and don’t forget to keep some energy to smile when you cross the finishing line – I might catch you with the camera. 🙂

Todays shoot was somewhat different… visited Tough Viking 2015. Don’t try this at home… 😉

Fantastic Weekend at Ironman Kalmar 2015!!

A fantastic weekend in Kalmar have just come to an end. What a terrific arrangement, fantastic audience and 2700 awesome athletes!

The first part, the Swimming was quite a challenge in the tough headwind a (to be in Kalmar) large waves. It was even so tough so that a few athletes have to surrender early in the swim. See for yourself in the swimming pictures, imagine yourself to swim in this…

Once you have browsed the images below there are a few more under the “Portfolio” heading and Subtitle Kalmar Ironman 2015.

DSC_7081

I have just received accreditation for photo access to Ironman the 15/8 in Kalmar which enables some nice shooting possibilities.

Possibility to get free profile picture(s): If you or any of your friends will participate in the competition and if you want some nice profile pictures from the Ironman environment you may ask them to contact me for a ad-hoc shoot if we find it possible.

Also, if you know of any other interest of pictures to be taken either at Ironman or any other similar event, you are of course also welcome to contact me. 🙂

Early morning start with Stockholm Ultra Marathon and then Kite Surfing

The wakeup call got off at 04:05… crazy? Yes, but those ultra marathon runners – they start early! Loaded the car with cameras, fresh batteries, emptied memory cards and some sandwiches, coffee for a day beside the race track. I also took the opportunity to try out some new equipment and to prepare for next weekend in Kalmar – that was good.

Wrapping up around lunch time with a short break. Then headed south to Dalarö where I was to shoot some Kite Surfers. Unfortunately the wind wasn’t too good, “only” ~6m/s. Being a cyclist I thought that was quite more than enough. When I arrived many surfers were in the water trying to get wind into the kite. Björn at Kiteboardcenter guided me about what is was all about.

Eventually the wind came and we got at least some basic shots. I will have to come back sometime later when the wind is at least twice the speed. I am glad I was the one handling the camera and not the one standing on the surfboard. 🙂

Some moments of silence before the race and then full action…

Höga Kusten SwimRun 2015

Last Saturday I was part of a team covering the Höga Kusten SwimRun. The weather was absolutely at its worst. But on the other hand it was a good opportunity to get pictures with some excitement and drama. It was raining sideways and the wind and the waves at sea sometimes were BIG!

Launching of new site – Dignephoto.com

Hi!

Welcome to my new photo site, Dignephoto! I have been doing photography for quite some time, but I wanted to go public in some way, but I wasn’t sure how. Well, here I am!

Lately (and still) I have been sooo busy to get it all up and running. I even find it hard to the time to write only these few lines. If you could imagine how many things that need to be in place before you can get your photos published on the web in a format that you find pleasing… and I am not even close to finished, but I thought I’d give you a taste of what is coming.

You are very welcome to browse through the site. I would appreciate your feedback as I have a long way of learning to improve. Share your thought.

Thank you for visiting my site! 🙂

Recent scenery during the World Championship of Triathlon

Last weekend I spent in Motala to shoot the ITU Long Distance Triathlon World Championships. The day before the race I found this nice scenery. Spiced up with some scenery from Höga Kusten. Can you tell which picture that belongs to which region? 🙂
