The Old Ship Hotel bar filled to the limit with beer-loving flash developers
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who ran and attended Flash On The Beach ‘08 in Brighton. I had a great time! Here’s a photo I wanted to share. It’s from the Old Ship Hotel bar tuesday night after The Honey Club ran out of beer in just one hour. It was taken with my camera phone, so please excuse the quality.
After the conference I got to kill a few hours in London, so I went to Hamleys to buy the mandatory travel gift for my son. And man do they have some fascinating stuff there. This is a 23 carat gold plated model of a Mercedes SLK which was explicitly stated “Not for sale”. Check it out:

My son wanted so desperately to wish you all a happy new year, so here he is, posing with my hat and all 
Aron turned 6 months on december 27. He’s full of smiles and really interesting language interpretations. He’s just about to begin crawling around. He also wishes to thank you all for the humongous pile of presents he got for Cristmas.
Most of all he’s the cutest, loveliest and happiest little boy alive!

Mølen is quite a special looking place. It is a sort of beach made of millions of round rocks that were dragged by ice from the mountains of Norway during the meltdown of the ice age. The lengthy process of getting the rocks here also shaped and polished them. The types of rock you can find here are of large variation, but they all share the same basic shape with few sharp corners if any. According to an information plate the area took shape around 300 million years ago when Norway was situated near Equator. Imagine that..
For any photographer this is a rewarding trip and I wish I could have spent even more time there today. The landscape is quite unique and on an overcast day like today, the light can be in your favor.
The images here were developed roughly by the same process. Because of the harsh skylight I duplicated the base layer twice and applied a mask for the highlight and shadow areas respectively. The shadow layer’s blend mode was set to “Lighten” and the highlight’s to “Multiply”. Then the base layer was duplicated once more and given a gaussian blur of 20px and that layer’s blend mode set to overlay. Image flattened and last exposure adjustments applied. The image at the top was left untouched from camera by the way. I wanted a totally honest one there to show you exactly how the place looks. EXIF was roughly the same for all images so I’ll include the data for the first one here:
