Gunnar Bangsmoen's photostream

CollectionsSetsGalleriesTagsPeopleMapArchivesFavoritesProfile

I was born in 1976 (you do the math!), have two strange and cool kids, enjoy technology, pop culture and I like to describe myself as a creative bureaucrat. Currently living just outside Oslo in Norway.

I came late to photography, and have never really been through the seemingly important analog phase. Accordingly photography for me consist of taking the picture, but equally important for me is the tweaking and processing in Lightroom and Phototshop.

I usually shoot with my trusted Nikon D90, and have great love for my two prime lenses 50mm f/1.8 and 85mm f/1.8. My all round lens is the Sigma 17-70mm. As a backup I have a Nikon D40 with kit lens and a compact Samsung EX1 (also f/1.8).

"I'm probably just repeating what others here have all ready pointed out, but I want to say those things too! ;) Gunnar is one of my favourite Flickr buddies. He's VERY creative and talented. His pictures cover a wide range of themes from flowers to bands, from food to statues and everything there between. If life is like a chocolate box, so is Gunnar's photostream, with all pictures being special, unique... and often full of humour :)

Keep up the good work Gunnar!"

"Gunnar is one of my favorite contacts on flickr. It has been a great opportunity to watch him develop as a photographer and an artist. He is very talented and I like how tries out different things in photography. He is constantly trying out new things. He is true to himself and I like how he is not too occupied of what is popular on flickr.

He opens up a small window for us to take a little peek in his world with his street and landscape images and also of course with his beautiful portraits of his family and friends. He has also taught me a lot with his critique on my photos, pointing out what is good and what isn´t.

Keep up the good work Gunnar and I look forward to see you develop as a photographer and an artist in the future."

"Gunnar has such talent. His work incorporates everything from stunning HDRs, macros, landscapes and beautiful portraits. He is always learning or trying something new, which makes his work so interesting because it's never the same. With an artists eye he sees the world through the viewfinder with great detail and imagination. He also calls it like it is...no fluff here, his critique is fair and observant so be prepared to learn. He truly represents the great community of flikr.
Thank you Gunnar for being such a great inspiration in the world of photography, I love visiting your stream and I really enjoy your work."

"Gunnar is a good guy. He has the right idea. He gives honest crits and always shoots from the hip. Sometimes I will disagree with his comments, but he's big enough and ugly enough to deal with that. He's not afraid to bend the rules at times and has a good imagination. I've missed his work here for the past few weeks."
