Oslo - Norge

Oslo photos by Thomas Russ Arnestad. Coming from Norway, just outside of Oslo, Thomas has spent many hours polishing his photo techniques around Oslo. But, as it is for many other things, it´s hard to see great potential in the places you know best. Being the capitol city of Norway, Oslo has a lot of photography potential. Potential in which he will explore more thoroughly when he moves back from Spain in a couple of years. Some of these Oslo photos are also available as art prints.

Fog over Oslo
Morning fog from the cold waters lying as a carpet above Oslo and the Oslo Fiord (Oslofjorden in Norway). The photo is captured from the hills above Oslo, very near the famous ski jumping hill Holmenkollen.

Lighthouse
A small automated lighthouse on the main pier in Norwegian coastal town Drøbak (Droebak).

Sailboats at Night
Lots of sailboats docked at Frognerkilen in Oslo, Norway. Shot at nighttime to capture the great reflections in the quiet water and I chose this specific night because of the great light and the awesome quick moving clouds. Captured with Bulb-function of 5 minutes exposure time.
Leonardo da Vinci bridge
The Leonardo da Vinci Bridge. Based on an original drawing by the Italian multi artist Leonardo da Vinci this pedestrian bridge was raised on the highway E-18 outside of Oslo, Norway in 2001. The Norwegian artist Vebjoern Sand took initiative for the bridge. Leonardo da Vinci originally made the drawing for the Turk sultan Bajazel II, who wanted to build a bridge over "The Golden Horn" at the Bospurus strait. The length was to be 240 m long, but the building of the bridge was never carried out. The bridge of to day is 108 m long and is made of tree material. Source http://www.johanson.info/leonardo
Oak
A landmark of an oak tree located in Aas, just beside the Norwegian University of Agriculture (UMB). Captured on a particularly cold afternoon, following weeks with no snowfall, only seriously cold days resulting in a vast amount of frost on the fields in front and on the tree itself.
