Martin Linges vei 57

When the Norsk Sportsvogn Klubb meets at the Sjøflyhavna kro, it looks like a nightclub for rich people - about 10 years back in time, or something like that. Other weekdays it is quite quiet here. Just an empty parking lot next to an industrial area.

The mood in the pictures lies. There is nobody "Chillin' out by the seaplane harbor". The car owners arrive at an agreed time, chat for fifteen minutes and agree a driving route together. It all happens with military precision. I arrived just as the cars left Sjøflyhavna one by one.

Panning

With my used one Sony RX100 III camera to pan, - that is - move the camera horizontally at the same speed as the cars are driving. Although it was semi-dark, there was enough light for the shutter speed to ensure fairly sharp focus. The light conditions are fantastic at Sjøflyhavna. That is perhaps why a place nearby is called Lysaker.

Decent camera, thanks!

The advantage of "proper" cameras is that they have lenses that let more light through than mobile cameras. The mobile cameras compensate for the lack of light by increasing the ISO level. It can make evening pictures grainy, especially if you show the pictures on a large screen, or want to process them.

With my rough hands, I will probably never become an expert in operating mobiles.

I have uploaded pictures of sports cars from Sjøflyhavna kro as they turn onto the road. The Statoil building – or Equinor as it is now called – looms large in the background with its mighty and mastodon architecture. A great background for taking pictures of nice cars.

Sports cars in motion

A contemporary colourist

Sjøflyhavna Kro, with its simple funk style, is a typical period color for the 30s and 50s. The style is not typically Norwegian. It could be anywhere in the world. Unfortunately, the place is not suitable for recreational boats, but is all the more popular for land-based recreational vehicles.

It is not only the building itself that creates the color of time. Also the space around. The small harbor facility makes a positive contribution. But I miss the old launching ramp, where the municipality's fire boat is now moored. A launch pad would create more life. Maybe we could see interesting boat projects? Fortunately, the square has not been developed with modern buildings. The place still looks like a seaplane port.

Aquarium plans

Selvaag Bolig, buyer and developer of Fornebu Sentrum in the Koksa area, has launched plans to build a large aquarium outside Sjøflyhavna. The Funkis building is listed, but will probably disappear visually in the new building stock. The prestigious aquarium will look like a new opera house. It could be a really great tourist attraction, but the car enthusiasts will probably have to look around for a new gathering place.

Nice cars

The seaplane harbor is located in my immediate area. I often pass there when I walk my two Dachshunds. Quite often it flows to others who air the great ones the cars theirs. Maybe just a short reconnaissance round to look for acquaintances? Maybe for a cup of coffee and something to bite into? While enjoying refreshments and food at the inn, they may see a grey-haired dog owner with two male dachshunds in tow. A bag of dog poop in one hand, and a camera in the other. If the pictures turn out well, they might end up on Social media coordinator or here on Terjesbiler.no.

Wondering where to take your fancy car this weekend?
