			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium" title="IMG_0590e" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dk_spook/3639894153/" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft" style="margin: 3px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2437/3639894153_8a56e3c6ec.jpg" alt="IMG_0590e" width="349" height="500" /></a>Jeg <a href="http://www.bagkameraet.dk/2009/06/09/hvem-er-med-mig/" target="_blank">nævnte jo Strobist Boot Camp II</a> og spurgte om ikke der var nogen af jer der skulle være med. Første opgave lød på at skyde en der havde mistet sit job pga. finanskrisen, så IGEN blev det den stakkels JP der kom foran kameraet. JP er uddannet klejnsmed og mistede sit job som rejsemontør da der simpelthen var for få opgaver i firmaet. Som den senest ansatte var han åbenbart den nemmeste at stritte ud. Ærgeligt, men måske alligevel godt nok i længden - JP har besluttet sig for at læse til maskinmester efter ferien. Efteruddannelse (og uddannelse generelt) er vejen frem og det er med at få det gjort før der kommer børn og andre alt for dyre hobbies ind i billedet. Jeg ville ikke overleve en uge på SU...</p>
<p>Billedet er skudt på Bindslevs Plads i Silkeborg, med et nybyggeri som baggrund. Jeg burde egentlig have snuppet et par skud med <span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount"><span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount">24</span></span>mm'eren også så vi havde mere byggeri med, men klokken var mange, vinden var kold og jeg var i shorts. Det kommer næppe bag på mange af jer at det er skudt med min nye store kærlighed, Canon EF <span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount"><span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount">50</span></span>mm F/<span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount"><span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount">1.2</span></span>L USM. Lige til venstre for JP er min <span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount"><span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount">100</span></span>cm eBay octabox med en Speedlite <span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount"><span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount">580</span></span>EX II. <span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount"><span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount">580</span></span>'eren er på halv kraft med ½ CTO gel henover stofen-kopien. Det giver et blødt og lækkert varmt lys på JP, især en fordel når modellen er meget lys i huden. På hegnet omkring byggepladsen superclampede jeg en Speedlite <span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount"><span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount">540</span></span>EZ med en marineblå gel (Lee <span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount"><span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount">143</span></span>) ved fuld power for at give lidt spræl og adskillelse fra baggrunden. Speaking of baggrund - jeg dumpede den omkring <span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount">2</span> stop for at den bare lige skulle være der, men ikke distrahere for meget. Det betød ISO <span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount"><span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount">100</span></span>, F/<span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount"><span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount">4.5</span></span> og 1/200 sek. Eneste problem med de settings var at den stakkels <span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount"><span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount">540</span></span>'er kørte på fuld smadder og liiiige skulle have lov at trække vejret mellem skuddene. Hmm... måske er tiden inde til nogen battery packs?</p>
<p>En del af opgaven var at modellen også skulle skyde fotografen under det samme lys. Både for at fotografen kunne få et godt billede af sig selv, men også for at forhindre at folk bare tog et gammelt headshot fra deres portfolio og tilmeldte det. JP fik mit <span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount">5</span>D i hånden og vi byttede plads. Jeg frøs bravt, var træt og ville generelt gerne ind i varmen til kaffen. Så jeg ser faktisk ikke ud til at more mig ret meget på det sammensatte billede man skulle smide i <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/strobist/pool/" target="_blank">Strobist Poolen</a>: <a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium" title="SBCII - Assignment 1" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dk_spook/3640905478/"><img class="alignnone" style="margin: 3px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3631/3640905478_0a91f9f3d6.jpg" alt="SBCII - Assignment 1" width="500" height="347" /></a></p>
<p>JP havde slæbt den stakkels Christina med ud i kulden og vi fik hende også pakket ind i en hættetrøje og skubbet hende ind foran kameraet, nu hvor vi alligevel var igang. Til sidst så hun endda ikke engang ud som om hun blev tvunget:</p>
<p><a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium" title="IMG_0605_1" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dk_spook/3640730832/"><img class="alignnone" style="margin: 3px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3396/3640730832_86c1aa8cc2.jpg" alt="IMG_0605_1" width="500" height="321" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Første opgave i Strobist Boot Camp II er nu oprettet: Tag et godt portræt (headshot) af en arbejdsløs bekendt/ven/fremmed der kan bruge det på sine ansøgninger - og få vedkommende til at tage det samme billede af dig. Billedet skal være i Strobist pool'en senest 23. juni kl. 23:59 (din lokale tid - så vi har bedre tid til det end japanerne, men mindre end amerikanerne). Du skal naturligvis bruge off-camera flash på en-eller-anden måde.</p>
<p><a href="http://strobist.blogspot.com/2009/06/boot-camp-ii-first-assignment.html" target="_blank">Hele opgaven er her.</a></p>
<p>Bemærk den lille anti-snyd klausul (så du ikke kan bruge gamle billeder): Udover det formelle headshot skal du også tage et hvor personen holder en finger (pegefingeren, tak) i luften. Under samme lys, setting osv.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium" title="IMG_9237" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dk_spook/3598747292/"><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3622/3598747292_c75c55ac09.jpg" alt="IMG_9237" width="500" height="329" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://strobist.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Strobist</a> starter på<a href="http://strobist.blogspot.com/2009/06/boot-camp-ii-introduction.html" target="_blank"> Boot Camp II</a> i morgen. En serie opgaver rettet mod dem der gerne vil lære at bruge off-camera flash men har brug for et los bagi for at komme ud af døren med kameraet i hånden. Der vil være opgaver der skal løses - og præmier der kan vindes. Hen over sommeren kommer der 4 konkrete opgaver der skal løses. Du får opgaven, skyder den, uploader til <a href="http://www.flickr.com" target="_blank">flickr</a>, tagger billedet med det givne tag, f.eks. "StrobistbootcampIItask2" eller noget i den stil. Herefter submitter du billedet til strobist poolen og kort tid efter deadline udnævner David Hobby en vinder.</p>
<blockquote><p><em><span class="fullpost">Shortly after the deadline for each shoot I will choose a single winner, based on quality, lighting, appropriateness to the assignment, the alignment of the stars, what I had for breakfast that morning, etc. Conveniently, with a judging panel of one, each decision will be unanimous.</span></em></p></blockquote>
<p>Jeg tror jeg springer på. Ikke så meget for præmierne,  men for udfordringen. Jeg har BRUG for det los bagi for at komme ud af døren og skyde andet og mere end bare <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dk_spook/sets/72157611941036559/" target="_blank">mine aber</a> og min familie. Og nej, der er ikke et D700 eller et 5D mk II som præmie, men præmierne vil være interessante hvis du er til Strobist-ideen om at lave fede billeder ved at lege med lyset fra speedlites. Eneste kendte præmie er et <a href="http://strobist.blogspot.com/2009/06/hands-on-with-speedlight-pro-kit.html" target="_blank">Speedlite Pro Kit</a> som jeg da i hvert fald godt kunne bruge...</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>...eller portfolio, om man vil. Jeg havde gennem længere tid været på jagt efter et lidt mere seriøst galleri end bare at forbinde bloggen med <a href="http://www.flickr.com/dk_spook" target="_blank">min flickr-konto</a>. Mange blev afprøvet, både wordpress-plugins, selvstændige gallerier og alt derimellem. En krydsning af <a href="http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/" target="_blank">Simpleviewer</a> og <a href="http://www.flickr.com">Flickr</a> var også overvejet på et tidspunkt, men det krævede et særligt Flickr-sæt til formålet.</p>
<p>Jeg overvejede også at tilmelde mig <a href="http://www.zenfolio.com/" target="_blank">Zenfolio</a> eller <a href="http://www.smugmug.com/" target="_blank">SmugMug</a>, de to store online-portfolio tjenester. Tænk på dem som Flickr deluxe, lidt mere præsentable. Men jeg ville gerne have mit galleri/portfolio på dansk. Om ikke andet, så muligheden for selv at oversætte tingene til dansk. Jeg fandt <a href="http://www.zenphoto.org" target="_blank">ZenPhoto</a>, en open-source PHP-baseret løsning, lige min smag. Jeg kan ikke sætte 2 liniers kode sammen om så mit liv afhang af det, men jeg kan så nogenlunde hakke mig igennem php og css filer og tilpasse tingene.</p>
<p>ZenPhoto har et par klare fordele for mig. Udover det allerede nævnte, PHP &amp; Open Source, så er det opbygget så de galleristrukturen reflekteres i filstrukturen. Det betyder at jeg har en mappe på min server der hedder "albums" og i den ligger så en mappe for hver kategori jeg har i mit galleri. Vil jeg tilføje mange billeder kan jeg således bare smide dem op via FTP. Resize, thumbnails, vandmærke etc. håndteres af ZenPhoto. Jeg skal bare tage billederne og uploade dem.</p>
<p>Alt er opbygget let og overskueligt, både selve galleriet og admin-delen. Installationen er let: Hent en zip-fil, pak ud, upload mappen til din webserver og tilgå den via en browser. Du skal kende navn og login til din SQL-server, men har du et webhotel kan din udbyder hjælpe dig med de informationer. Har du din egen server kørende ved du nok hvordan man gør <img src='http://www.bagkameraet.dk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Min eneste anke: Systemet til vandmærker. Du angiver hvor stor en procentdel af billedet dit vandmærke skal fylde og du angiver placeringen (i procent) i forhold til øverste venstre hjørne... Det tager lige lidt tid at få styr på, men det virker.</p>
<p>Og hvis ikke du har bemærket "portfolio" i menuen foroven kan du <a href="http://www.bagkameraet.dk/zen" target="_blank">se det her</a>.</p>
<p>Nu mangler jeg bare noget at fylde i det...</p>

If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.

The monkeys went to the circus and stole the limelight.

Yes, Monkeys can see bokeh without a camera."><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3341/3248474192_ee8ffc80bf_s.jpg" width="75" height="75" alt="33/365" /></a> <a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Square" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dk_spook/3253957020/" rel="album-72157611941036559" id="photo-3253957020" title="34/365 - 34/365, Februrary 3rd, 2009.

Sometimes the easy way out is the right way out. We had been out shopping for arts &amp; crafts stuff for the invitations for Anna's baptism when the car wouldn't start. So we were pretty much stranded out there in the freezing darkness that is Denmark in the winter, waiting for Falck (Danish equivalent of AAA) to help us out. Dinner time came and went, so when they got the car going (just needed a jump) we drove straight to Tarantini's, the local Italian place and the only place to get a decent pizza around here. Picked up dinner instead of cooking it, saving some time and still managed to get a pretty decent evening out of it.

I'll go shoot some of the stuff we got for the invitations and upload them as my shot for today. Yep, this image was shot yesterday but not uploaded. 'Cause the friggin DSL was down, so no phones or Internet Connection when we finally made it home.

People go to the zoo and they like the lion because it's scary. And the bear because it's intense, but the monkey makes people laugh.

Wooot, arts and crafts stuff for the invitations for Anna's baptism. The Monkeys helped with stacking the images.

The images are just a different crop &amp; pp of this one."><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3398/3254061494_ba6585dd80_s.jpg" width="75" height="75" alt="35/365" /></a> <a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Square" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dk_spook/3256597228/" rel="album-72157611941036559" id="photo-3256597228" title="36/365 - 36/365, February 5th, 2009

The Monkeys try their luck as photographers with the G2, but accidently shoots at ISO 400.

Well this sucks. Got home today and bike felt somehow &quot;wrong&quot; the last bit of the ride from work. Looking at it a few hours later, I found out why.

The Monkeys are confused if this is a tip or a bribe. 

In Denmark, the garbage men aren't allowed (union stuff) to carry more than a certain weight and only ONE bag per household per week. We had a lot of extra trash after the christening, so I resorted to a well proven technique...

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gah... Jeg havde åbenbart lidt blinde passagerer med på siden her, lidt levn fra tiden hos <a href="http://www.google.dk/search?hl=da&amp;q=servage+sucks&amp;btnG=Google-s%C3%B8gning&amp;meta=&amp;aq=f&amp;oq=" target="_blank">Servage</a>. Der var ikke den vilde sikkerhed hos <a href="http://www.google.dk/search?hl=da&amp;q=servage+slow&amp;btnG=S%C3%B8g&amp;meta=" target="_blank">Servage</a> og det der til sidst fik mig til at flytte Bagkameraet.dk til <a href="http://www.domaindirect.dk" target="_blank">en fantastisk dansk host</a> var en række SQL-injections hvor der blev smidt ondsindet kode ind i bloggen. Det betød at besøgende risikerede at få virus ved at besøge siden. Jeg blev heldigvis gjort opmærksom på det af læsere (kører selv <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">Linux</a> derhjemme, så jeg bemærker ikke selv sådan noget <img src='http://www.bagkameraet.dk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> ) og fik det fjernet - troede jeg.</p>
<p>Her til morgen tikker der så en mail ind fra Dave:</p>
<blockquote><p>Hey du</p>
<p>Var inde for at se dine billeder og jeg fik denne (Bloodhound.Exploit.196)<br />
smidt i hovedet da jeg ville se dine macrobilleder på "Bees and wasps"<br />
/Dave</p></blockquote>
<p>Ydrk - Nu skulle det være, komplet re-install! Bagkameraet.dk er jo bygget på det fremragende CMS <a href="http://da.wordpress.org" target="_blank">WordPress</a>, så det var en smal sag at hente nyeste version + de 10-12 plugins jeg bruger og mit theme, gemme de filer jeg selv har tilpasset og så ellers slette hele lortet på serveren. Alle indlæg, indstillinger osv. bliver jo gemt i databasen, så det var en halv times operation og så havde jeg en frisk installation.</p>
<p>Bloggen skulle nu være helt og aldeles fri for ondsindet kode men jeg vil gerne opfordre alle der har besøgt Bagkameraet.dk i 2009 til at scanne deres maskine godt igennem for virus - og til at besøge hver en lille krinkelkrog på siden og melde tilbage til mig hvis der dukker noget ubehageligt op. Jeg beklager meget at det overhovedet kunne ske i første omgang, men jeg giver hele skylden til <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Servage</span> <a href="http://www.memwg.com/dont-host-with-servage/" target="_blank">Garbage.net</a>... Hundehoveder og hængerøve hele banden, hold jer fra dem! Brug hellere danske <a href="http://www.domaindirect.dk" target="_blank">DomainDirect</a>!</p>
<p>Har du ikke Antivirus på din maskine (og kører windows) så 1) fy! 2) <a href="http://free.avg.com/download?prd=afe#tba2" target="_blank">Hent det gratis her</a>.</p>

If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.

The monkeys went to the circus and stole the limelight.

He doth like the ape, that the higher he clymbes the more he shows his ars
-Sir Francis Bacon

The Monkeys are just hanging out, unaware that Gay White Poodle is spying on them. Biding his time, making his plans, that dog is out for revenge... (Remember The Circus Incident?)

I'm amazed that such a small poodle can handle the 40D/135L combo.

They have reduced the audience's level of receptivity to a bunch of monkeys asking for the same peanuts. And they are the same organ grinders giving it to them. If that sounds extreme, it's not. It's true.

The Monkeys are upside down, living life thru a lens, Robbie Williams style.

Without the massive drug abuse and screaming teenage girls. Yet.

Greatness, in order to gain recognition, must all too often consent to ape greatness

The monkeys are doing their job, entertaining the kids... My daughter Anna in this case :)

No fancy flashwork this time, just a single on-camera 580EX II bounced against the ceiling.

The chimps will be back in some fashion.

The Monkeys were complaining about living here in Denmark, specifically the part about freezing their butts off. 

Enter the Mon-Kee CheekWarmer 550EX!

Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage
-  Henry Louis Mencken

The Monkeys are having their picture drawn by a local top artist. This particular artist does his best work while listening to music. The Monkeys understand that, being artists themselves.

580EX II on camera, FEC -1, bounced against the ceiling. 550EX as slave on the desk, just right of the image, bounced against the white (and very blown out) sheet of paper."><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3110/3182732910_2c0953f28f_t.jpg" width="100" height="67" alt="9/365" /></a> <a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Thumbnail" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dk_spook/3183944687/" rel="album-72157611941036559" id="photo-3183944687" title="10/365 - 10/365, January 10th, 2009

There's a statistical theory that if you gave a million monkeys typewriters and set them to work, they'd eventually come up with the complete works of Shakespeare. Thanks to the Internet, we now know this isn't true.

We've no use for intellectuals in this outfit. What we need is chimpanzees. Let me give you a word of advice: never say a word to us about being intelligent. We will think for you, my friend. Don't forget it.
- Louis Ferdinand Celine

The Monkeys took a job as watchmen, guarding the castle. They were told to look out for trolls and giants. They never saw the giant coming before it was too late...

No one was seriously injured, but naturally, The Monkeys lost their job."><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3395/3189171288_19fcba61c7_t.jpg" width="67" height="100" alt="11/365" /></a> <a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Thumbnail" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dk_spook/3192574326/" rel="album-72157611941036559" id="photo-3192574326" title="12/365 - 12/365, January 12th, 2009

I learned the way a monkey learns-by watching its parents.
- Prince Charles

The Monkeys were really upset about losing their jobs, so they pulled a few bottles from the cellar. They may not always drink responsively, but they always binge in style. Nothing less than Italian red wine will do.

Speedlite 580EX II at 1/16 as far as I recall, camera left. Shoot-through umbrella."><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3325/3192574326_1fcda2bb5f_t.jpg" width="100" height="64" alt="12/365" /></a> <a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Thumbnail" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dk_spook/3196411374/" rel="album-72157611941036559" id="photo-3196411374" title="13/365 - 13/365, January 13th, 2009

If hooking a car battery up to a monkey's brain will help find the cure for AIDS and save somebody's life, I have two things to say... the red is positive and the black is negative.
- Nick DiPaolo

I told The Monkeys to try walking in my shoes. They failed miserably. Not only did they pick my baby shoes, they couldn't move them one inch. But I guess compared to my size 13 Lloyd shoes, these were the easy ones.

580EX II through umbrella above camera left, 550EX bounced against the grey velvet inside my camera bag, camera right.

Civilization today reminds me of an ape with a blowtorch playing in a room full of dynamite. It looks like the monkeys are about to operate the zoo, and the inmates are taking over the asylum.
- Vance Havner

The Monkeys decided to cook dinner, trying on a new career as chefs.

Fish cakes, rice, green beans and sauce hollandaise... Not bad for a couple of chimps.

I am not going to spend any time whatsoever in attacking the Foreign Secretary. If we complain about the tune, there is no reason to attack the monkey when the organ grinder is present.

We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.

Don't worry ma'm, we're from THE INTERNET!

They monkeys try their luck in the pc repair business.

Marius has the flu and isn't feeling too hot, so The Monkeys keep him company."><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3116/3206066956_6439e166a2_t.jpg" width="100" height="67" alt="17/365" /></a> <a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Thumbnail" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dk_spook/3207480112/" rel="album-72157611941036559" id="photo-3207480112" title="18/365 - 18/365, January 18th, 2009

&quot;Going dooooooooown, in a blaze of bokeeeeeeh.....&quot;

This will be the last image from my 40D, it will be picked up by its new owner in a few minutes. The Monkeys say goodbye with their very own version of that horrible &quot;Blaze of glory&quot; song by Bon Jovi.

The Monkeys help Marius do the dishes. Or at least they pretend to help him pretend that he's doing the dishes."><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3451/3218656248_00c82520d5_t.jpg" width="100" height="67" alt="22/365" /></a> <a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Thumbnail" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dk_spook/3221436727/" rel="album-72157611941036559" id="photo-3221436727" title="23/365 - 23/365, January 23rd, 2009

The Monkeys show off the kitchen as they pose for my UWA shootout - Sigma 12-24mm Vs. Canon 15mm F/2.8 Fisheye. This was shot with the 12-24mm at 12mm and wide open aperture. Check out the full size, this lens is pretty sharp!

It does get old to have to always be a monkey in a zoo. I don't know what it's like any more to be anonymous.

The Monkeys wanted to join Marius and have some fun with the Play-Doh, but after just 2 minutes they started making play-doh pooh and throwing it around. Marius then turned them in to the proper authorities.

The story continues here..."><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3517/3221739175_f58d9d06d7_t.jpg" width="100" height="67" alt="24/365" /></a> <a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Thumbnail" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dk_spook/3222728206/" rel="album-72157611941036559" id="photo-3222728206" title="24/356 Part II - Canon EF 15mm F/2.8 Fisheye

After acting up, the monkeys were sent to cool of in the polar bear enclosure, but somehow they seem to have escaped! And where are those beers I put in here?

I confess freely to you, I could never look long upon a monkey, without very mortifying reflections.

The Monkeys decided to take over the home cinema. At least they have good taste."><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3352/3235214720_3822eaa3a6_t.jpg" width="100" height="67" alt="28/365" /></a> <a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Thumbnail" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dk_spook/3237418476/" rel="album-72157611941036559" id="photo-3237418476" title="29/365 - 29/365 - January 29th, 2009

<p>...det er naturligvis <a href="http://www.bagkameraet.dk/2008/11/25/one-object-365-days/" target="_blank">dette lille projekt</a> jeg taler om. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/oneobject365daysproject/" target="_blank">One object, 365 days gruppen</a> på <a href="http://www.flickr.com" target="_blank">Flickr</a>. Jeg starter mit år 1/1 2009. Hele det år skal jeg skyde et nyt billede hver dag af den samme ting. For nemheds skyld har jeg valgt noget der kan være i min kamerataske - Et stykke (cr)Happy Meal legetøj så udsøgt meningsløst at min snart 3-årige søn ikke gider lege med det. Og han kan få timer til at gå med at slå en pind i jorden. Det er altså et stykke ret sølle legetøj jeg har stjålet fra ham.</p>
<p>Hver eneste dag i hele 2009 skal jeg tage et billede af de to aber. For at få lidt spænding ind i projektet vil jeg tilstræbe mig at lave 365 forskellige billeder af dem. De kommer med mig på fototure, til familietamtam, til dødsdruk med drengene og måske på job et par gange. En win-win situation, som Nikolai Lie-Kaas så irriterende siger det - De får set verden og jeg får brugt mit kamera hver dag.</p>
<p>Og det er netop det det handler om, at holde kameraet i gang, at tage sig de 30 sekunder det kræver at hive et par sammensatte aber op af tasken og og snuppe et billede af dem. Man behøver ikke uploade hver dag, man må vente så længe man gider med at uploade - bare man tager et billede hver dag. Det er nemt at lege med, man kan starte når man har lyst og slutte et år senere. Det kræver bare at du melder dig ind i gruppen og begynder at uploade. Til hvert billede skal du dog skrive hvilken dag ud af de 365 dit billede gælder for og hvilken dato. F.eks. kunne jeg uploade billedet ovenfor og skrive "Day 38/365, February 7, 2009. " - Det er en amerikansk gruppe, så hvis vi skal lege med skal det ske på engelsk.</p>
<p>Men husk: Det SKAL være den samme ting. Ikke en tilsvarende eller magen til. Den SAMME. Du er velkommen til at bruge et æble, men jeg tror det bliver træls at bære på efter en 5-6 uger...</p>
<p>Håber at I stadig er friske på at lege med, meld jer ind i gruppen <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups_join.gne?id=414864@N24" target="_blank">lige her</a>.</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Én af mine contacts på flickr er med i en gruppe på flickr der er ret sej - <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/oneobject365daysproject/" target="_blank">One Object 365 days</a>. Det er egentlig en simpel udfordring: Vælg et objekt og fotografer det hver dag i et år. Du kan vælge døren til din stue og tage 365 billeder af den - eller du kan f.eks. vælge en <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8942587@N04/sets/72157606390714311/" target="_blank">legetøjsbil og lade den opleve noget nyt hver dag</a> <img src='http://www.bagkameraet.dk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Jeg synes det kunne være en vildt cool udfordring! Personligt ville jeg nok vælge legetøjs-bils-varianten og tage et objekt jeg kan have med mig i kameratasken. Men man kunne jo også vælge sin kone/mand/kæreste/samlever - det kræver bare at I er sammen hver dag i et år. For man SKAL tage et billede hver dag.</p>
<p>Edit: Man behøver ikke uploade hver dag, men <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/oneobject365daysproject/discuss/72157605521503448/" target="_blank">max. 3 billeder ad gangen</a> for at holde poolen afvekslende.</p>
<p>Hvad siger I? Er I friske? Er jeg debil? Hvornår starter vi?</p>
