A small training feature I did for VG on a group of men who regularly meet up to do water aerobic in Sandvika, Norway.

Mine as a computer center?
25 km from Måløy, Norway there is an old olivine mine, the Lefdal Mine. Here a group of Norwegian entrepreneurs want to build one of the worlds largest computer center.It was difficult to take photos down there to illustrate how enormous the mine is. For those of you who have ever been in a mine knows that it is dark down there. Very, very dark. The challenge was to light the scenery as well as the people. To solve this I used the headlamps of three cars we had down there, two flashes and four lights hooked up to car batteries. A total of 9 light sources.Shot with a 5dmkII, 16-35mm at 16mm f/5,6 and a slow shutter speed at six seconds.
I also made a panorama. Only available for iPad/iPhone.
Fighter pilot
in div
Last week I was sent to Bodø to photograph fighter pilot Bjørn Mannsverk. During the summer he was one of the fighter pilot Norway sent down to Libya. I recommend reading the interview with him in this weeks VG helg.Since I was not allowed to fly with him I rigged a small camera (GoPro) in the cockpit to take pictures of him. I think it turned out cool. I also tried something called a cinemagraph where some parts of the picture are in movement. Look closely at the picture below:
