Link to my blog where I have posted an HDR tutorial:

Lots of people are adding me as a contact. I'm very sorry that I can't add all of you to my contact list, but I have found out that I can't watch photos from 2000+ people :(

I just became interested in photographing and there's lots to learn. I used the screen name cameranewbie during my first months here, but Kaj Bjurman is my real name.

I bought my first camera, a Canon 30D in december 2006, and have now bought a Canon 5D MarkII.

I'm still a beginner and I'm only glad if you tell me how I can improve my skills.

I live in Stockholm, Sweden but I like to travel, and do usually visit a few countries each year.

I'm a consultant and software developer at Finally AB. You can contact me at photos@finally.se if you want to buy photos.

Two of my photos that I really like:

Carles9 says:

"Kaj is one of the best HDR photographers that i saw in flickr. For me he has a unique style, (that he never changes :P) but a style that he tries always to improve in each photo that he makes.

I really love his eye for the colours and the perfect use of HDR (not to hard). So for me not just a good photographer, also a nice person that always answers my questions!

So, happy to meet you Kaj,
Carles."

"Kaj is completely brilliant in his ability with the camera. His mastery of HDR and the technologies' ability to capture light and color are both stunning and remarkable. But more than that, I have grown to really appreciate his kindness and friendship even half a world away. He has been quick to answer any question and encourage my fledgling ability. His eye for a great scene and ability to give it life are completely inspirational."

"I want to end up the year 2008 by letting Kaj know how his HDR work has inspired me. It was his photostream where I first discovered this genre HDR and that was the moment when I began Flickr last June 2008.

It was his HDR tutorial I used during my practice stage.

He has an eye, he knows how to frame his subjects that draws viewer to appreciate his composition.

He's not colorblind (hehe) as he can mix and tone his colors very well.

Above all he is generous- for he spares time answering all of my queries related to our trade.

I salute you Kaj, more HDR's to come on 2009, keep up the good work!"

"kaj Bjurman -- one of my favorite HDR photographer.. he is my idol when it comes to HDR & compostition. all of his photo sets are just amazing."

William Said says:

"What to say about Kaj that hasn't been said over and over in the flood of comments and awards that he receives for every picture he posts...? Kaj is one of the rare photographers who sees beauty in the mundane and with the help of a camera, can bring that beauty out with unbelievable results. His rendering and post-processing is just icing on the cake. Absolutely one to keep as a contact just so you can have a new image up every so often in your contacts stream! Definitely one to keep an eye on. He's a good friend with a helping hand when you need it. Now... if I can only convince him to pass on to me his lenses...!"

"One of the nicest persons in flickr, Kaj not only takes good photos but he also processes them skillfully. Like a fine craftsman, he labors for each photo he takes, you can see the final product for yourselves.

and i would not want to forget that he unselfishly shares his knowledge to others.

thanks for sharing your photos, your art, Kaj! i'm lucky to have you as contact :)"

"Enanched colors and pixel smooth as a silk.
The images rapresented in your pictures loose magically the edges and they seem to emerge from a different world, where the three dimensinos are melted toghether."
