My real name's Karl Henrik (I'll spare you the agony of having to pronounce my last name). I'm 53, Dane living in Dane-land/Denmark. I'm an engineer by profession and have worked with computers for 25-30 years. BIO I've worked with fractals using FE for 8 years, in earnest since around New Year 2004 when I gave in to a friend's urging and have made almost 2,000 pics since then. Some good, some bad, some very good, some terrible. I've picked what I feel are the best and posted them here... well, who am I to judge.. judge for yourself. I never considered myself a 'cultural' person but with fractals I get to combine computers and math, mixed with what I'm told is a good sense for colors. I usually do 'pure' fractals without much PP'ing (not counting down-sizing), but I keep my eyes open for good opportunities to apply some filter if it might improve the pictures. I mainly look for interesting shapes in fractals but I'm a sucker for interesting spirals and will pick up these 'bi-products' from the shape-hunt if they look interesting enough. I quit my job of 16 years in the computer dept. of a major Danish company recently, for the purpose of enjoying life and do what I want to do... for a change, help friends whenever I can, be lazy on the couch if that's all I care about. *grin* So now I do fractals - bought a wide format printer to be able to reproduce on paper what I create on the screen... I even sold a few pics - and I build and repair computers for myself and others, do some networking too... generally speaking I'm a sorta problem-buster. I've picked up digital photographing at another friend's urging (some pushy friends, huh?) - did a lot of photographing years back - and have a plan to try and build digital photos of stuff into fractal images (or vice versa). For now I make animal shots and some transfer onto T-shirts... well, whatever i feel like and what people want me to do. My interests are... well, computers & fractals/graphics, photographing, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Astronomy, friends/people, good movies and rock music. Envious? I wish more people could do the same - do what they really want to do with their lives. Life's just too short for boring jobs and bad management.... Well, that's who I am. Feel free to write me and ask away.

There is another ruin, which in time lies very close to Hammershus - Kalø Slotsruin. I've been thinking about a 3d reconstruction, but I still have a day job and a rather young family, so my time is limited, when it comes to doing what I most want to do - unlike yours. (I probably live as close to Kalø Vig as you do to Hammershus).

Amazing looking place.

I like this kind of places, great shot, but needs some contrast, still, thanks done! RS

@Helleshøj: I was actually at Kalø last summer when we did a tour of Djursland, and I made some shots of the ruin there too. As for living close to Hammershus - no, I live in Sønderborg and spent 8 days on vacation on Bornholm recently.. ;o)) @rocserum: I had to up the brightness a bit in the picture to bring out more details. It was taken late in the afternoon and with quite some cloudcover over the area, plus I had to use maximum zoom - either that or walk quite a bit closer... we had already been there a few days earlier, but all I made then was video recordings. So on the way back from some other place we went by the fortress again and I made the still-shots I had neglected to make the first time around. :o))))

I don't like this kind of places. They make me sad. Ruins too hard say: Everything is passed:(.
