Projects and Schedule 2002

Bjørn Rørslett/NN - Professional Nature Photographer

On this page I intend to outline my ongoing projects and scheduled tasks for a given period. The purpose of this is to give people a better idea of what's currently occupying my mind and interests. Also, it is easier to understand why I may be hard to locate ....

Many activites carry over from last years. Maybe the Third Millenium proves more optimal - time will show. Anyway, I'm busier than ever before.

Current Major Projects:

• UV and IR Photography using digital approaches. I have recently purchased a Nikon D1H to this end. Digital may perhaps not provide an equal quality with film on this topic, but who cares? I'm having plain, old-fashioned fun shooting with my D1H.
  
• Compiling an image catalogue of UV floral patterns for a representative set of Norwegian flowering plants. The images eventually are to be published on my site.
  
  Why not? I'm certainly in for some surprising insights. Thus, I've already encountered seemingly anonymous species with beautifully fluorescent flower buds. Some closely related species (for which I have to consult my thick, scientific flora to identify), turn out to have highly different UV markings in their flowers. Good news for the bees because they neither can read nor afford a flora this expensive.
  
• More work with panorama formats, using Hasselblad XPan, Noblex (137° angle of view!), or stitched digital images.
  
• More macro work with my Nikon Multiphot device.
