My certificate of apprenticeship test is coming up!

The 1.st and 2.nd of June I am having the test to see if I can get the certificate of apprenticeship as  a photographer and in the business of photography. As mentioned earlier I´m enrolled in the Royal Norwegian Airforce, and taking my photog education there. Hopefully I will pass, and when/if I do, there will be a lot more time to blog and get my stuff on the net which I haven´t prioritized yet.

Pictures to come, and hopefully stories with them.

Maybe someone will start reading my blog if I actually post something B-)

- Wish me luck

BTW, I did get a bill for tax on the Orbis, and since the reason I got it was mis-information on the Orbis website, they (James Madelin) payed the tax for me. That is very good service.
They changed their info on the Orbis website from "no import duties in Europe" to "no import duties in the EU".

It hasses arrived!

To my big surprise my Orbis already arrived today. And as I understood it, no import duties. But only time will show if I get a bill or something for the import.
Looking forward to testing it. Maybe I will post a picture if I am happy with any results.

See Ya...

YES, I did!

Oh lordy lordy, ME GET RING FLASH ADAPTER :D

I went ahead and ordered the Orbis Ring Flash Adapter for my SB-800! 

Super exited about it. Can't wait for it to arrive!

It said two days shipping to Norway, but if i know the Norwegian customs right it will be 2 to 4 weeks :S

It also said on the Orbis site that there would be no extra import duties, tax or VAT, but this I CAN'T believe? That is especially difficult when importing stuff to Norway, they even open all the packages with books i have ordered from Amazon and Play... And don't re-seal them! They arrive with a big hole in the box! This happens even when the box is labeled BOOKS.

Well, I will just have to see on this one, just sounds too good to be true. But still super stoked.

I will be using it primarily for fill, but may use it as key in some situations:) Never used ring-flash before, so I will just have to experiment and find my own taste on this one.

More TK.. (somewhere in the future...) 

I bought a NG 2475 bag

For small trips and everyday use, this was my birthday gift to myself:D

Im tired of stuff scrambling around in my "one-compartment" regular textile bag. Camera scratching the covers of books, iPod earplugs getting annihilated by a doo-hickey, wallet dissappearing to be recovered the next day, and so on..

This bag is awesome for small photographic trips, or to carry your camera+ additional lens with you all the time! And still have more room for your other stuff. It even has a 13" laptop compartment (which i intend to use for photo books).

If that isn't enough, it is made of very environmentally friendly materials by Bogen them selves.

Omg, I am bad at this blogging stuff.

Update: I have bought myself an iMac!

24", 2.66Ghz, 4Mb Ram of lovely goodieness! 
I am starting to get used to the transition from Windows, and ME LIKE!
Not much more to say.

Hopefully in time I will have saved up enough money to buy a Nikon D700, and my dream lens: the 24-70mm 2.8 !

Nothing like saving money to buy the stuff you want:)

More TK.

Buying iMac!

Yay, I have finally let myself follow the main-stream photography business world and I am buying myself an iMac!

After all the years of struggeling with the faults and flaws of Windows, I have taken to sense.

In august or september I am recieving my so-called "graduation-bonus", in lack of a better word, for completing my one year mandatory military service in the Royal Norwegian Air Force. Still got one year to go though, but only one year is mandatory.

Back to the point, I am bying myself an iMac 24" 2.66 Ghz for my photography editing and so on, and I am super exited.

I thought about bying a MacBook, but decided i didn't need a laptop to begin with.

This will be awesome.

More TK!
