What an evening and what a moment of joy and happiness! Shortly after sunset they let gas filled balloons rise up to the dark blue skies and attached to each of them were little postcards with good things the guests would do to the bridal couple within this year.
…is good luck! And of course I wish them all the best for their future! It has been a great wedding party and today they are leaving for a three-weeks honeymoon to South Africa. How good could it be? =)
This wedding wasn’t an easy job. Right in the beginning when they’ve booked me, they stated that they didn’t want "classical bridal couple photography" and the bride said, that she didn’t like to be photographed… ok?! Additionally the weather turned out to be cold, gray, rainy and windy.
So we watched out for a rain pause ran out of the venue and took some more or less "classical" shots, as there was no time to do "non-classical" stuff. At least the umbrella in his hand is not very classical.
But after all, I did it the way they’ve wanted it, taking most of the shots out of situations during the party. No doubt that they will be satisfied with the result.
For concert photography the Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 lens is probably one of the best choices! The ultra-large aperture provides a bright viewfinder and used on a full format camera such as the Nikon D3, 85mm is a perfect length for working in front of the stage to take close ups of the musicians.
The low-light capability of f/1.4 combined with the awesome high ISO resolution of Nikon’s D3 is a superb match for shooting in bad light situations which are normal at concerts. I bet the Nikkor 85mm f/1.8 would also do a good job here, but there’s no substitution for a large aperture but a larger one…

Based on Wikipedia :: The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek is an art museum in Copenhagen. The collection is built around the personal collection of the son of the founder of the Carlsberg Breweries, Carl Jacobsen (1842-1914). The museum collections include classical Egyptian, Roman and Greek antiquities, Romanticist sculptures, and paintings, as well as Golden Age Danish art. The Etruscan collection is one of the most extensive outside Italy.
Works by impressionists such as Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, Degas, Cézanne are found in the museum, as well as those by Post-impressionists such as van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec and Bonnard. The museum’s collection of Rodin sculptures are considered the most important collection of Rodin’s sculptures outside France. The museum’s collection also includes all the bronze sculptures of Degas, including the series of dancers. Numerous works by Norwegian-Danish sculptor Stephan Sinding are featured prominently in various sections of the museum.
The building housing the collections is often praised in its own right for its elegance, including a sub-tropical winter garden at its centre. Architect Vilhelm Dahlerup created the museum’s first wing, which was inaugurated in 1897. It was soon extended with a new wing in 1906, which was created by architect Hack Kampmann (1856-1920) and houses the collection of ancient works. In 1996 the museum was further enlarged by Danish architect Henning Larsen.
The museum is located across the street from Tivoli Gardens at Dantes Plads 7 in central Copenhagen.
