Couldn't Get Them In One Frame

Greetings, fellow So-Close-But-Almost-Perfect-Moment-Seekers!

After I insert a random long-time-absence statement here (I guess I am not actually inserting it this time), I would like to share the first of many...

many...

photos that I gathered during my visit to Copenhagen last year. Knowing how busy I've lately been, I like quoting myself saying that it would take at least until next year's trip to just go through all of the decent frames I managed to shoot back then in Denmark's capital city.

Up until last May, I had kind of neglected it while my best man and a long-time friend from childhood was inviting me to visit his place there. Again and again. It took me several years to make the flight.

As might have been expected, I liked the place a lot more than what my imagination could have prepared me for.

It was...

Well, Diverse.

Here's a topic that I stumbled upon — the industrial grey and here and there the brand-related red.

And in this case, the corresponding shorts and T-shirt of the rolling man were just a little bit too out of frame from the red central part of the structure and the chimneys. I had missed the moment of their perfect alignment and so I had separate frames.

I was a bit anxious...

Until I remembered I could make a diptych and get the two images together as they belonged.

Camera Settings:

Aperture F4
Shutter Speed 1/800 sec for the left frame and 1/1600 sec for the right frame
Light Sensitivity ISO 400
Focal Length 70 mm

The sky and the grass/foliage are a bit bleached so that we can focus on the red, black, and white.

In terms of local story... I only got that the brand was named after some inventor or entrepreneur from the past. And my research ended there. In a comic book shop, that is. I did no intentional research, I just chanced upon the name, again.

Perhaps somebody with more points attributed to Local Knowledge (Contemporary Scandinavian Stuff) might care to enlighten me us further.

I hope...

I can ride the wave and continue sharing more from that awesome trip and photo experience.

Peace and Take Care!

Yours,

Manol
