Copenhagen Pictures

Nice set of pictures, thanks for sharing! I particularly like this one from the last page.
Just a small remark... Remember to shoot at speeds higher than your focal length - otherwise you might get blurry shots. If your lenses have stabilisation - use it! It'll help you shoot at speeds lower than the required up to 3 or 4 stops.

Thank you.

Not sure I follow. Could you give an example or two with some numbers ?

Sure! For example, set your lens at 50 mm. Since you have a 1.5x crop-sensor (DX) camera, the equivalent field of view of on a full-frame (FX) camera would be 50 x 1.5 = 75 mm. For blur-free shots you should use the nearest highest speed value which is 1/80 of a second. Turn on the VR if you have it. It compensates up to 3-4 stops so with a bit of luck you could use speeds like 1/20 or 1/25.
I have the 18-105mm lens whose VR is said to compensate up to 3 stops of light although I've managed to take sharp pics with it on speeds like 1/2, 1/3 or 1/5 with a steady pose (at 18mm) . My record for the long end of the lens (105mm) is 1/13 which is 12 stops below the recommended speed. I remember I took it while crouching. So if you really have to shoot at low speeds, keep a steady pose, crouch if you have to and shoot about 5-6 pics in a burst. This way the chances of having a sharp pic are higher.
When shooting on a tripod, remember to turn VR off since it creates vibrations which blur pictures.
Good luck and feel free to ask if you have any further questions

Thanks. Will try to use it. Most of the time I use the automatic program.

First a picture from my own hood, Vesterbro:

"Framed"

Now a few shots from Frederiksberg Have / Frederiksberg Garden (a park)

From the entrance at Frederiksberg Runddel / Circus. Went by two days later, all the floors was gone.




From the other side (west) of the park.

Another great set of pictures, Arne!

[vester]

Thank you Arthur.


I promise some more pictures from Bispebjerg Bakke and here they comes:

A look backwards toward the "tower" with the bright yellow and dark red glased tiles.


Walking counter clockwise around the buildings.





More pictures on the way.

Here are two pictures taken at Dronning Louises Bro / Queen Louise's Bridge:

Look toward the city center.


The opposite corner of bridge, looking toward the neighborhood Nørrebro.
What you see at right side is the base for one of the flag poles.

[vester]

Here is some pictures from my own neighborhood:









The clouds were really running fast that day. There is only 4 minuttes between the first and the second picture.

Excellent pictures, Arne! I like a lot the first of the last series, as well as the two of the previous update.

[io_bg]

Nice pics indeed! The tower in the last update looks like the San Marco Campanile in Venice

[vester]

Thank you for your comments. Appreciate them.



Here is 3 more pictures from the bridge.

First one picture looking north from the bridge:


and one from the corner next to the flag pole looking south:


a little further a long the curve looking back at the bridge:

Here is a picture of Børsen (the old stock exchange), Christiansborg Palace and Holmens Church:

Yes its a motive you have seen before, just in a dark version.


So hope many spires can be see in the picture ?


Here is a bigger version of it: Link

[vester]

The answerd is 6 in total. The last two is a bit of hide and seek.

Here is a picture I found in a blog called Classic Copenhagen by Sandra:

Direct line ?


She post a lot of great find of Streetart ect.

[art128]

Very nice photos going on there! Love the Spires picture. I've spotted 4 or five of them, but the sixth one is a hard to find.

Maybe this will help: Link
The one on the left is the City Hall and the other is a spire on a church.

Oh, indeed. I've found the one on the left but the one on the right seemed just like an antenna!

[vester]

I know, it was a bit tricky.

Here is two from the other side of the palace:




Remember, click to enlarge.

[vester]

Here is a few "Golden Hour" pictures of an industrial plant, Novo Nordisk medical factory:





The last one was taken through that glas fence that can be seen in the first picture.
Kind of like the reflections in the glass of the lamp and the rail viaduct at the bottom.

A view over the harbour:

The white building on the right is the Danish National Bank. Christiansborg is hiding a bit further down the road that is crossing the bridge.
The picture of the old stock exchange and Christiansborg is taken from the bridge on the right hand side.


Almost same spot at night.

[vester]

Here are some more dusk pictures. All from places I have shown pictures of before:

Queen Louises Bridge


Almost the same place some days later.

On the opposite corner of the bridge:



Turned 180 degrees.


A bit further down the side of the lake.


One picture from the bridge look south.


Christiansborg Castle.


On the other side of the castle.
