Sognsvann
I've been on sick leave all this week. After 2 weeks of trying to cope, my body just couldn't take all the pollen in the air anymore and clicked. Asthma checked in and with it several sleepless nights where my work and working out suffered. So the doctor resorted to a more severe form to battle the allergic symptoms: immunosupressants and a week off just in case of side effects.
And side effects it did have. Though nothing to be really all that alarmed about. I had a bout with nose bleeds on the first day. But after the preceeding days I was actually feeling fine enough to go outdoors and take pictures again. I know I shouldn't have, but on Thursday I braved a trip to Sognsvann (which to me is one of the most beautiful areas in Oslo) and took some pictures. The results were pretty good, if I should say so myself. Here you can see the results.
I think I am learning to use my camera more and more. During this trip the camera was on "A" setting, meaning I was changing aperture values (the values are very limited due to the kit lens) depending on the subject. Post processing was, as always, just used to highlight what I am trying to show in the picture, and not used to make the picture look like something else altogether.
It is true what they say though. In the end it is the photographer who makes good pictures, and not really the photo equipment itself. I feel healthy enough now that I might even be able to join the Oslo Camera Club's first photography course of the year. I just hope I will be able to save enough money to attend it. Photo classes or an iPhone. That is a tough decision I will have to make soon!
