Old school ...

At the age of 15 I moved to Akureyri to attend this college. Back then I didn't exactly have my future planned out to the most minute detail but I had som vague intention of broadening my horizon. At first I was mainly interested in studying litterature and arts but ended up majoring in mathematics and physic. Most importantly I got to know some great people there and the 4 years I spent there were most certainly the most adventurous day's of my life.

Eru minningar þínar slíkar að þú sýnir skólan í svo grimmilegu ljósi? :D

your grain/noise here is remarkably low. what iso were you at here? trying not to ask mundane questions, but i looked on your "stuff" and couldn't find anything. are you shooting full frame?

well whatever you're doing, it's working. if this is at night and you're exposing for a while, you're covering up what ever noise there was. looks great man. it helps to have such a killer location and clouds...

jeez! this is so awesome!

also let me say, your hdr's are among the minority in giving hdr's a good name. usually it's a wierd little onslaught of... craziness. but you've got good taste. ok enough ego stroke...

This is such an effective shot, so moody and full of foreboding. The photo seems to be in contrast with the great memories you say you have from school :-) Nicely done!

awesome work as usual, the vignette and the sun poking through add a very dark and eerie atmosphere to the whole thing, very cool.

Isabelle Ann says:

What a powerful image--looks like a stark place at which to study, but so beautiful in its foreboding way (at least in this image). The sky is wonderful. I envy you your background in math and physics--it must stand you in good stead in the complicated digital processes you use in your art.

i love how you kept some color in your sky here...the subtle blue/purple/tan hues give it alot of feeling that a total desaturation might have missed...it also compliments the rich color of the grass in the foreground. Excellent as always!
