Critique Welcomed An old Swedish home.

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

This one I shot with a little compact in raw at 24mm. I'm really amazed by the quality from a little sensor as that one.

 

[Pete Askew]

What a great looking place (and a fine photo of it). Reminds me of my friends' summer cottage (but they have a tile oven and not an open fire).

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Thank you Pete. The Swedes struggles these days you know.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Beautiful Ivar and I'll also say what a superb place.

 

[Tom Dunne]

Love this image and it is rare that we get subject matter like this. A lovely moment captured here. Well done Ivar.

 

[Beth Carter]

great atmosphere, it looks like a colorful and happy home.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Thank you Julian Tom and Beth, ( should have mentioned Beth first I know ). It is as said an old Swedish home, now a museum where they serve among other things, coffee and waffles, mind you smack in the middle of Sweden. If they served waffles of that caliber back then, I'm sure they were happy in their hardship of daily life.

 

[Pete Askew]

I should have known cake was involved!

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Yes the waffles were amazing Pete after I picked it up from the floor, spilling as usual .

 

[Paul Lange]

Great photo Ivar, really like it and it confirms what I always suspected.... not all Swedish homes have Ikea furniture, I bloody knew it!

 

[Pete Askew]

Rubbish @Paul Lange, those are clearly Söräs chairs, a Wonkjë table and Mysngscrü chest of drawers. Those rugs look mighty familiar too!

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Thanks Paul, Pete seems to know a lot about Swedes albeit I do not reckon the Swedes would know what he's trying to say. I'd love to hear his pronounciation though.

 

[Brian Moore]

Delightful image Ivar. Were you standing on a table? (Or are you 9 feet tall?)

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Thank you Brian, I'm 9,5 feet tall and used a 24mm Brian, but have shrunk a wee bit over the years

 

[Pete Askew]

Or the lady is only 2' 6""!

 

[Brian Moore]

Thank you Brian, I'm 9,5 feet tall and used a 24mm Brian, but have shrunk a wee bit over the years

I knew it! Norsemen ARE big people!

 

[Brian Moore]

Or the lady is only 2' 6""!

I knew it! Swedish ladies ARE tiny!

 

[Aldous Lau]

A very interesting house Ivar. Totally different from where I live

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Thanks Aldous. I bet it is
