Thomas Silkjær | Graphic design & photography

August 21 at 2:08am our beautiful daughter arrived - so that will explain all the baby pictures I'll probably post in the future ;)

We got it yesterday - our very first car! Went to the woods today to grab a few photos of it, and play a little with HDR.

See all the photos here.

After a funny, but for me rather short (sooo tired), Århus flickr meetup, I just wanted to share some of my shots from the day:

As you can see, I'm still in love with my Canon extension tubes - macro photos are so cool!

It was my wifes birthday yesterday, so I bought her some red roses. And beautiful red roses is of course an ideal object for macro photography, so I mounted my Sigma 30mm F1.4 and my Canon EF 12 II extension tube, and shot a few macros.

Later h0bbel noticed me of Canons photo contest, The Assignment, where you are allowed to upload one photo to only one of the four categories: portrait, landscape, sport and macro.

I don't think I will stand a chance, but I think I might try to catch a nice macro photo for the contest anyways.

At work, one of our main competences is bible design. As a part of a marketing campaign with Jongbloed we have taken a lot of photos for a book about bible design.

Earlier this spring we visited Rosendahl to look at their huge private bible collection, with printed bibles more than 500 years old. All the photos can be seen here, but here is a few of my favorites:

Later we visited Jongbloed to take photos of the production of bibles. All my photos can be seen here, but here is a few of the best:

Later I would like to show a few more photos of the design and typesetting phase, a few more from Jongbloed and of course, when the book about bible design is done, I'll upload a lot of photos of that.
