Roses From Denmark : From Sweden

April KristinaLeave a comment

I took a trip to Denmark in August / September . I was a refreshing trip away from the stresses here in Los Angeles. My mom was visiting her family in Denmark and decided it would be a great for me and my son to visit the family. I hadn’t been there in almost 20 years ! I took my film camera and took some shots around. I was a relaxing trip so not too much exploring but the cool think is we did take an underwater train that goes to Malmo , Sweden . It was a short trip only taking 30 mins and costs about 20 dollars each ticket . Europe is so much different from Los Angeles. Most people ride bikes and the pace is much slower and calmer than the hustle and bustle of the city here that I live in . All photos are taken using a film camera which I love to use while traveling because there is such charm in the results that digital cameras lack , the grain , the essence. The Slow pace of planning a shoot. The trial and error of not getting the shot you thought you got.

Double Exposure: In Denmark

Double exposure using a film camera to take multiple shoots on the same roll of film. I have experimented taking photos during my trip to Denmark and without removing the film from my camera, gently winded up the film and reshoot other scenes on that same roll. This created interesting results that I then went into adobe Lightroom to enhance the photo or covert to black and white. This is such a fun process and the results are unique.

Located off Route 66 in a nearly empty ghost town in California’s Mojave Desert. Between I-40 and I-15 Mojave National Preserve, a harsh desert landscape of volcanic cinder cones and sand dunes, desert tortoises, and Joshua trees.
