Portsea








This weekend I decided to go with Dennis on his diving trip to Portsea(That looks like a mini Italy on the map). Dennis had to take the Advanced diving course and I had to do my photo assignment which involved taking photos of an open environment with people in it. So kaablamm! There I was in beautiful Portsea with all the divers and not diving.. I enjoyed it a lot though. Sun was shining, the air was hot and the water was cristal clear. All this became the perfect recipe for nice looking photos.

On the Portsea pire where Dennis, Penny, Gayle, Nat and the other divers did there dives was alot of fishermen. Apparently there was a lot of squid to fish there, they were big fans of calamari down at Portsea.






We slept in this little cabin that belonged to the diving instructor Nat's grandparents. So on the late evenings we made sure to have a couple of beers before we went to sleep..
It was nice to do something different for a change due to all the school work that's been going around lately.

Today (Monday) was the nicest school day yet. Why? 27 degrees!! I'm actually a little burned :D
Had a perfect lunch sitting on the grass in the sun at the center of campus with Grant eating veggies and tuna before heading to the gym. When I got home I got a lot of homework done, so this has been a totally awesome day.

On a boat!

Hi readers!

Today is a really beautiful day. Maybe 25 degrees and the sun is shining!
Today me and Dennis are going on a trip to a place called Portsea south of Melbourne. There Dennis is taking his Deep water diving certificate.
Me on the other hand believe it or not is gonna do some school work on the boat. My photo assignment is about taking photos of an open environment with people doing there thing. In this case i chose to follow the diving club. I'm gonna tell a story with my photos on how they prepare before, what they do during and what they do after a dive. Most of the photos will take place when the sun is going up, going down and when it's dark due to the teachers requirements that we have to work with a high ISO and letting in much exposure (which means that we have to work with low light).

It will be very nice to see the open sea again and to grill some food in front of a bonfire at night. And most important of all it's gonna be 27 degrees!! :)
I'll make sure that you guys get to see some of the photos when i'm back on sunday.

have a good one!

Swedish food!




Okey I admit I have missed the swedish food a bit.. but so had Dennis and Emmy. So we decided to go to Ikea in Melbourne to eat and buy some groceries :)
It took us some time to find it but eventually we found it.
It was really good to eat swedish meatballs with mashed potato and lingon berry. And lets not forget the brown sauce. After we've eaten we went to the shop to buy some groceries. I bought meatballs and a pouch of candy. Emmy bought some "knäckebröd" and famous swedish "Kalles" caviar. Dennis bought just some candy.
We were really really tempted to buy the cray fish and some party costumes to arrange a cray fish party, but we decided to wait.

Catch you later!
