At the Mall

Today there was the official opening of the christmas season in Kamppi. I grabbed this not very original shot from the top level of the mall. I didn't want to see the fireworks because lst year they were so crappy.

This is not a black and white image

In my last post I wrote about publishing a black and white image shortly. As you can see it didn't happen this week. Maybe next time. We'll see...

By the way the image is shot at one second hand held. Not bad don't you think.

Psychedelia

On friday I went the see a Sally Mann exhibition. I was inspired by her black and white images. The tonal range in real monochomatic prints is simply amazing. Today I went for a photowalk with an idea to shoot in black and white. I was able to stick with my plan until I noticed these nice reflections on water.

Anyway I think I will be shooting a lot more b&w in the near future. This time of year the light is really good for it. With sun low on the sky the light brings out shapes and textures nicely. I'll be looking forward to post my first black and white image on this blog shortly.
