Softball in Central Park.....

As I went up to Central Park on a Saturday morning, I found this corner where a lot of teams were playing softball (similar to baseball for those who don't know about this game....). I watched some practice their ballswing and such. I realized soon enough they were actually warming up to play against each other on their first game against each other and I asked if it was ok to take photos of them. (if any of you know them or you see these photos and don't want them up here, let me know and I will remove them....)

I can highly recommend go there doing the weekends in the morning around 9amish I believe, as there seems to buzzing with games. I came in from 5th avenue corner and walked to the left side of the park.... you can't miss it...  and for me it was a great experience to see.... the term "fierce" about a game made good sense that day.....  :-)  

Oh by the way... before you want to try feel a bat.... asks first... they are mighty costy... the ones I saw here was like around $300 a piece.... even the one the kids plays with.....

Here a few of the softball photos......

    K - That's it - Your moving to America and I'm getting you a photographer job with the Binghamton Senators - your action shots are amazing. You would really get some awesome shots at our games. :-) Go sometime to some hockey games near you when you can and test your camera and see you how you do. :-) - I Would LOVE It if that really could happen.

Last year I went to Copenhagen Medieval marked, where you can see vikings, knights and battles. I took some photos and have been slow in getting them done, due to new job. But here are some and more will be uploaded, as the Medieval will once again open up next weekend. So if you are near, have a look in there... (there is a price for the entry, then you can walk all over the place and look around.... even buy things people have handmade...) These photos are from the first day and I will post another 2 later on, with more photos from the event. Their homepage is here: http://kmm.dk/ Click on the photo to see them on screen and bigger...

Game of Thrones - The Hall of faces exhibition

Image
Friday May 6th 2016, Game of Thrones - The Hall of faces stopped by Copenhagen, Denmark for 4 days show - on the day before the opening, there was a VIP event where Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) and USA ambassador to Denmark Rufus Gifford with family stopped by. There was even knights and some fans dressed up as character from the show, like Jon Snow with Ygritte and... one Jaime Lannister, which garned a rather throughout lookover from Nikolaj, which caused a good laugh among the fans. Even more when Nikolaj stopped shortly and talked with the 3 knights, who were in full amour - we are talking real amour here - and Nikolaj couldn't help but take off an helmet, both to admire it but also talking about how heavy the amour is in real life - note: these guys do it for real at shows, so don't try this at home, neither with the flames, as the ladies there know what they are doing. Nikolaj really took time with the group of fans dressed up as well the knights despite bei

"The Danish Girl" in Copenhagen, Denmark....

So a long while back this year, the filming of the movie "The Danish Girl" took place in Copenhagen, Denmark and I found them filming in a very popular area. At a place called Nyhavn, where not only a lot of Danish people go to during summer time, but also a lot of turist will walk around this area. The only minus on those two days I watched and took photos from the filming was, it was rather cold and dull, yet a bit of sun would shine through. So a lot of respect not only for the crew, actors but also the extras providing as background for the actorts... It was really a treat to see a very large area of Nyhavn transformed into an older Copenhagen harbour as well the customes the extras wore. I was to be an extra in this movie but was not chosen, so I was happy to see the filming and take photos instead. I talked with some of the people who had their boats lined up for the movie at the harbour - the other boats which usually is there had been moved away and replaced with olde
