I know him too, and agree with you.
Sometimes a great photographer, and I like his attempt to do something 
new, but it tends to drown in technology....

Sorry if my post appeared to critisise the photo, I like it a lot too. 
Bjørn has
this irresistable urge to try all sorts of odd techniques. He delivers 
the
goods, as a good photographer should, but I frequently get the 
impression that
he's basic attraction is the tech stuff. He's the most die-hard Nikon 
fan I
have ever come across, and a devoted collector as well.

Interestingly, however, he's also on a crusade to try to renew 
Norwegian nature
photography. His credo is that everyone should break barriers, find 
new angles,
develop a personal style, etc.

Quoting Paul Stenquist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I like this. A very narrow depth of field can lead to a very
interesting image.
Nice work.

Bjørn is a good photographer, but he's basically trying out things
like that just for the heck of it.

Just to provide a counterpoint I often find myself shooting macros
at wide
apertures, it really depends what you want to portray, the largest
DOF isn't
always desirable from an artistic perspective.
