In 2009 we made a nice looking 360 Virtual tour for these guys. A few weeks ago they approached us and wanted a new website with a CMS system. We said ‘ok’ and so we made a nice looking joomla site for them.
The beauty with CMS (Control Management System) is the freedom it gives the clients. They can change just about whatever they like on the site, almost like FaceBook. Or not. 
Why not let a picture paint a thousand words?
Dömle Herrgård - Swedish manor house
Well, this video is rather short and perhaps it doesn’t explain exactly what a 360 virtual tour are, but it is what it is. Please enjoy!

Country #9 is on the move. Loads of new clients are becoming visible with the help of brand new 360 Virtual Tours in the UK. Michael Skillman is currently active “up north” and the planned 2-weeks became a bit longer. Who knows when he will return to sunny Spain?

Right after midnight on the 9th of October 2010 the happy couple from Norway was lawfully husband and wife.
After a lovely ceremony held at Dömle Herrgård’s private church at midnight I was prepared for the portrait photos in the dark. It was a bit tricky to find the right setting but I feel that the result was ok.
Being a 360 Factory photographer “forces” you to visit many places and this time, Mike & Henke, made a 360 Virtual Tour of a gun club in Stockholm, Sweden. The Target received a 360 Tour of their facilities.
Of course, we did not only shoot with our camera… we tried Magnum .357 and 44 as well as 9mm Glock. Bulls Eye? You bet! What do you think… after 80 rounds you must hit bulls eye at least once.
On the last day of the photo training (held in Sweden) we were planning to shoot amazing sunset photos. It was a cloudy evening and we ended up doing some experimental photography instead. Two of the students, Björn and Margaretha, working as a team, took this picture. Great image, huh?
We had loads of fun and the students learned a great deal about the basics.
Way, way out in the wilderness, up north in Sweden, another union was made. Love radiated so brightly that even the toughest ones got wet eyes.
Love between two souls expressed in our physical world displays the power of the universe. That Light is the best healer there is. It is all-giving and never-ending.
For the 5th year in a row we (Mike and Andreas) worked at the Scandinavian Caravan Show 2010 in Jönköping, Sweden.
Swedens #1 – KABE – chose (again) to have their caravans and motor homes displayed with 360′s. A total of 52 different models where photographed and a bunch of 360 Virtual Tours produced.

We are happy to be able to provide help within web marketing – design, production, set up, development – and print marketing (flyers, adds, brochures, etc.).
Even if we are expanding our service range we are still keeping it simple (no fancy offices) to suit our “free spirit lifestyle”. With a back-pack containing camera equipment and laptop we will be as flexible (geographically) as ever and we will continue to do our best in order to provide a high quality, high standard work and design when it comes to the products on our menu.
Our website is now also reflecting these add-ons. If you are located in New Zealand or Australia, don’t hesitate to get in contact with us… it would be nice to visit “down under”. Never been there!

Due to more skills than “only” taking photos, Dömle Mansion in Sweden is now receiving marketing help. Are we working outside of our box? Not really, only outside our main stream business… which is stills and 360 photos. 
360 Factory will produce/install all sorts of marketing tools for Dömle. For example; presentation videos, adds, folders, newsletters, flyers and brochures. We will also help out with good ideas and solutions when it comes how to sell and market the products that Dömle offer.
If you are experienced in Swedish (??) then please have a look at www.domle.se. The website will be translated into English at a later point.
Working as a freelance photographer has given me the opportunity to travel. I would like to give you a peak from one year (2007-2008) on the road. Note! If the images below are clickable there are more images (stills and/or 360′s) for you to check out. Enjoy the ride! I did!!! 
JUNE 2007. My first trip to the Atlas Mountains, Morocco. Here together with a dear friend, Anders, in front of the waterfall Cascades d'Ouzoud. An amazing place that I have visited many times since then. I've got a client there. Click on the image to view a 360 Virtual Tour of Cascades.
JUNE 2007. After Morocco I went (back) to Costa del Sol, Spain where over 4.000 Harley Davidson were gathered. Click on the image to view some 60 Harley's.
JULY 2007. On a rock in the middle of the Blue lagoon, Turkey. I was doing some photos of luxury villas in Kalkan and made a day trip to the Blue lagoon. Fantastic place (both of them). It seems that I am going back to Kalkan later this year. If I do, I will post something about it. Click on the image for more stuff on Turkey.
JULY 2007. Made some photos for my sister and her boyfriend's family business in Sweden. You may have guessed it... they are running a saw mill.
AUGUST 2007. Time for my second trip to the French Alps doing photos of Ski chalets. There are always time to make friends and attend some of the local traditions, such as this one at Lake Montriond, Portes du Soleil. Click on the image for a 360 Virtual Tour of Morzine, summer time.
SEPTEMBER 2007. Back in Spain. I had some weeks off and made a quick visit to my old client and favorite restaurant in Puerto Banus, Spain - Restaurante Pravda. I have made many photos for these guys... and in return had plenty of Sushi and Sake.
SEPTEMBER 2007. Time for a new trip to Morzine, France. Best (and cheapest) way to fly from Malaga is with EasyJet to Geneva. And from there taken by car to the alps. I spent half a day in Geneva looking around.... took many nice photos. Beautiful city. But, nevertheless, it's a city, with high tempo and stress... I prefer the nature!
SEPTEMBER 2007.Time for some adventure. In between doing photos of Ski chalets I managed to get into a hang glider.... looking down from this altitude hanging in some wires sitting in a sort of chair makes your stomach go 'oh, oh'.
OCTOBER 2007. Costa del Sol, Spain. You may have guessed it? Spain was my base in 2007. This picture is from the Sierra Nevada, somewhere north of Marbella.
NOVEMBER 2007. Made a 36 hrs trip to the High Atlas Mountains, Morocco. I was making photos and a website for hotel Bin el Ouidane and went for a trip with some locals. We had a really good time discovering the unbelievable beautiful mountains of Morocco. I really love the mountains in Morocco and have spent at least 12 months there since 2007. Click on the image above to view a YouTube video from this trip.
DECEMBER 2007. I stayed in the Atlas Mountains for 2 months and have thousands of nice images, but I want to show this one when my Scottish friend, Fraser, was interviewed by Moroccan national TV. They talked about tourism and I they showed some of my pics on the 9 o'clock news. Wow, my pics has been on Moroccan national TV news... who cares?
JANUARY 2008. Picture is of a Norwegian king. Behind it you can see Holmenkollen, where they perform ski jumps. I had some clients in Oslo at the same time attending my NLP - Neuro Linguistic Programming - class. I have loads of friends in Oslo because I used to live there. Tusen takk og ha de bra.
JANUARY 2008. Skiing holiday in Morzine, French Alps. My first holiday in 2 years!!! How about that?
FEBRUARY 2008. Actually I moved my base from southern Spain to the Atlas Mountains in late October 2007. So in February I was back home. Life in the Atlas, near a fresh water mountain lake, is different from living in Oslo, Marbella, Gothenburg or Paris. I can promise you that. In the picture you can see Fraser on his way to or from the boat. Click on the image to view a YouTube video with pictures from this area. Enjoy!
MARCH 2008. Another visit to Cascades d'Ouzoud.... only 45 mins drive from the lake. Me and Fraser went here for a week where we produced a website for Riad Ouzoud. Click on the image to check out the site.
MARCH 2008. After we were done with the Website for Riad Ouzoud Fraser needed to get up to Tanger and I was on my way to Hurghada, Egypt. I had to get up to Norway for my NLP class and then off to Egypt for a new photo job, so we decided to travel together up to Tanger. But first a couple of days in Fez....
MARCH 2008. This picture taken inside cave Hercules in Tanger. We stayed in La Tangerina and made them a website. If you ever go to Tanger, this is were you MUST stay. Click on the photo to view more photos of La Tangerina. After some days here I took the ferry over to Spain and headed up to Norway... then off to Egypt.
APRIL 2008. I stayed in Egypt for 5 weeks. Most of the time I was in Hurghada, but I also made a very nice trip to Luxor with some local people. Luxor was a GREAT experience where I got to know the poor (normal) down-to-earth people and was able to experience things that tourists normally never encounter. I was also doing some tourist stuff like visiting tombs, sailing on the Nile and riding hot air balloon. Click on the image for pictures from the balloon ride.
MAY 2008. I had lots of spare time in Hurghada and did some twenty dives. I also upgraded my license and are now a Advanced Open Water diver. Click on the image to view a YouTube video from my wreck dive.
JUNE 2008. Bye, bye Egypt. Hello Norway. It was getting warm in Egypt (and Morocco) and the summer was entering in Scandinavia. I finished off my NLP course in Oslo and decided to move my base up north. Sweden or Norway. Same, same.
JUNE 2008. A good old Swedish mansion located in the country side became my new base (home). But I did not stay long... more work was coming up!
Well, that’s one year of my life. I love to get around and explore and learn from “school of life”. I have some education (university) within the “brain washing system”, also called school, but I believe I have managed to re-program myself since then. I study loads of history (religious, political, economical and social) and I have found many discrepancies when comparing the “official” story (lies?) presented in the media or school books. If you don’t look, you will never know.
Life is an illusion and for some the illusion is reality.
Being a wedding photographer places you on first row when it comes to witness the (perhaps) peak moment of the marriage… namely the minutes/hours right after the ceremony! I hope, with all my heart, that this moment is everlasting and that the married couple will enjoy the same kind of “ecstasy” for the rest of their life… but usually daily life will interrupt. I am not trying to be negative here, only realistic. Perhaps the “ecstasy” that one is experiencing during and right after the ceremony is unrealistic? Well, what do I know? I am just the photographer. My blessings to the married couple and I wish them the best of luck on their married journey. Hurray, hurray, hurray! Divine oneness.
What is Love? That is a tricky question to answer, right? Some would say that love is something that is expressed in the bed. Some would say that love is a strong and positive feeling towards another human, animal (creature) and/or thing. Some would say that love is the action taken in good intent (such as helping your neighbor). I would guess from a human perspective that “love your neighbor” (the Golden Rule) is most important in creating a peaceful world. That doesn’t mean that you will allow your neighbor to do wrong. You MUST wisely judge all behavior and actions, and NOT judge the person.
