Thanks!

Sweden!

I was standing there to take these photos (photo 1, photo 2) and the ambulance just happened to pass by when I had all the settings ready for this type of shot. It was all just good luck and timing 😄

Thank you! I’m glad you liked it! :)

I put the camera on a wooden structure by the road so it would stay still 😄 Thank you, I’m glad you liked it!

I set the exposure time to 6 seconds and used a very small aperture. The ambulance being too dark and also moving too much makes it not “stick” on the photo. But the flashing blue lights stick despite moving because they emit a lot of light. You can also see the people in the background were not completely still, so they are all blurry.

It’s pretty easy as long as you have some patiance!

I saw them shake off some water after having dipped themselves i the pond, so set the shutter to about 1/1200 and waited.

When they finally did something I had to be quick and sure to already have the focus ready 😄

Aha, cool. You’ve got a sharp pair of eyes!

Hol’ up…

How did you know this was in Oslo? Or was it just a strange coincidence? This is on the roof of the Oslo opera building.

Thank you! The story behind the photo is way less interesting than it might seem. If you want to ruin the magic for yourself I added a spoiler element to this comment that you can expand if you really want to know where and how I got this shot.

Oh, I see

Aha, as in neato. A true spooktober connoisseur.

I will take that as a compliment, but I have no idéa what it means

Heres a portrait one that might even have a better perspective

It is taken at 1/400 shutter speed, f/14, 400 ISO

Also it was a very bright day. So there was a lot of light

My best guess would be that it has something to do with the lighting.

I assure you that it is not AI though

I was in a public area of the park, but climbed some stones in the edge of the allowed area to get this angle.

I am using a 50mm full frame lens on a crop sensor camera body, so effectively 75mm focal length.

I felt the same when I saw it. It really stood out and told a story. I hope so as well.

All of that was added in post processing. It really did turn out well

Thank you! Always enjoy sharing my shots

Although I was pleased with this shot, the feedback has been way more positive than I expected it to be.

Thanks a lot for your kind words. It made me smile :)
