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.

Gone Fishing

Couple of days ago I realized that I hadn't shot a single picture for a few weeks. That's why I went for a photo walk to Hernesaari. I didn't get any great shots. Spotted this fisherman anyway.

Picking Mushrooms

Yesterday we went to a secret location to pick mushrooms and we found plenty. Jussi was very stylish indeed.

Fireworks

Hello folks!

It's been a while since my last update but there's a logical explanation. My computer broke down. Luckily the warranty was still good and the boys in the computer store had to repair it for free. Unfortunately it took those lazy bastards at Mikromafia two weeks to get the job done. Anyway I'm back online now.

I realized one other thing now that I started to write this post. During the past couple of weeks I've shot only a couple of pictures. The only decent ones are from the fireworks competion some weeks ago. Here's one of them.

I'll keep on looking for inspiration. Take care.

Dancing Teen

Friday night was the Night of Arts in Helsinki. The above shot is from Hesperia park where they had the biggest pique-nique in the whole universe of something. There was a DJ playing nice music and plenty of drunken teens dancing.

I've also added a small gallery of photos to my webalbum. You'll find rest of my photos from the walk when I grabbed the shot of the hot air balloon I posted the last time. Gallery available here.
