Thank you David, for trusting me and for giving me the opportunity to have 150kB worth of fame here at chromasia.com! I really appreciate it:)
I'm having a hard time trying to figure out just what my shooting style is. One thing I do know is it's a mood thing that oscillates wildly. During the last couple of days, I've developed a serious crush for vignetting, grain, and distorted perspectives. Again. So when carefully contemplating the alternatives for a guest post at chromasia, I realised I had to get such a shot. Had this opportunity come a week earlier, I'd probably posted something completely different.
Anyway, off I went with the good'ol analogue camera, loaded with slide film, and a bunch of heavy tunes in my ears, scouting central Stockholm for photos to be had. I pretty much knew what I was after and where to get it; I like public places that looks deserted, and I finally ended up in this seemingly empty passage nearby Sergelstorg. So many lines, cold light and nice shadows... I almost lost track of time. Geekish, I know.
I'm posting more cross-processed stuff like this over at smudo.org. Drop by, have a coffee.
Listening to: Meshuggah - Corridor of chameleons. Nodding. Nodding. Mirror lock-up? There should be a neck lock-up facility.
The perspective and grain really add to the feel of the location. Great colors, too.

I love the perspective of this one and the spread of the green/bluish lighting. Can definitely feel the roughness of those poles as well.

this is awesome. Very moody and the post processing is first class. Well done.

~Fedrik, interesting shot here, the blueish/greenish hue caught my eye~

Nice shot! There is an otherwordly quality to this I really like (though I keep thinking of those damn matrix movies when I look at the color scheme) There is a lot of movement here too, all those lines running in the same direction, ceiling, pavement, even the lights.

Interesting perspective here - congratulations for making a mundane concrete structure look good!
Great image... love the erie, cold effect the florescent lights give. This definitely looks like a shot from some sort of creepy sci-fi movie. I love the sense of movement given by the contrasting lines... the fist pillar leads my eye to the ceiling, which leads my eye to the back and out around the curve on the right. Superb composition!
frederick, this is probably my favorite guest entry here. i love everything about it; the angle, colors, grain, overblown hotspots and the composition are all perfect. the lines on the ceiling make this shot extra dynamic and never let the eyes rest on one spot. it also remind me of tadao ando's architecture work which i adore.

Very nice picture, I love it!
fredrik: many thanks, this is wonderful - the distortion and x-processing have made for a very striking image.
Looks like the X-wing base in Episode IV - I like the colour and the patterns.

Love the copper patina look and feel of this image - and the lighting to match. Great job... Enjoy your holiday, and take lots of photos!
Fredik, this is amazing as always.
Good work.. Looks very nice!!!
Excellent perspective.
Amazing sense of movement here, and the harshness of the grain, contrast and colors is delicious -- beautiful job!
Just love it! Wonderful sense of moviment, lovely light, great texture, thanks for the trip :)
Fredrik, you are just making me want to break out the FM2 and some Velvia and forget the whole digital photography thing aren't you. Awesome shot.
Fredrik, this is one of your best. . .
thanks for all the kind comments! i really appreciate it:) and thanks again david, for letting me waste some of your bandwidth!
