NSK at Rudskogen race track 24.07.2011.

Rain rain rain describes that day.... but will definitely return to the new race track at Rudskogen at a later date. Walked around about half the race track, and is definitely a lot of good photo spots there. Need a longer lens the next time I'm there :-)

Long time since last update! Vacation time ......

Have been busy lately, so have been little time for photography ...
To much to do, and my son has been through a heart operation (ASD / Atrial septal defect) But all is well now  :-)

Currently working on creating an automotive photography rig. So hopefully there will be some cool pictures of cars in motion soon :-)
I also have plans on going to the new Rudskogen racetrack. NSK raceday 24 july, and "Gatebil" 9-11 september. Really looking forward to taking pictures on the new track, which has various height differences that may provide some cool perspectives / angles :-)
  
Have been on summer holiday in Norway this year.
Was lucky and had great weather the 3 days we were in Bergen, without the kids :-)
(but the rest of the holiday has been rain rain rain...)

According to my knowledge still the world's longest road tunnel !

Great Spotted Woodpecker

Came across this woodpecker couple with "baby`s"
Realy pushing the iso on the D700 this time. (iso 5600 to 6400)
In picture # 4 you can see the beak from the baby bird being fed.
(Males have a crimson spot on the nape, which is absent in females birds).

Squirrel Time !

Was lucky and got a couple of shots of this squirrel, when it sat and posed for me :-)
Managed to get about 10 feet close.
love the iso performance from the D700 ! (No noise reduction is applied to the pictures)
