The Accidental Photographer

Welcome to my blog. The idea is to share some random photos and maybe some thoughts.

Light Trails


I haven't shot anything decent lately so here is an older shot from this July. It was shot on the way back to Helsinki from Hämeenlinna.

On friday I will be leaving to Lapland for a hike in the Kevo canyon. I promise to shoot at least a couple of decent images.

Row row row your boat


From time to time I think that I should shoot more in black and white because I like monochrome images a lot. I just don't seem to get my black and whites really stand out. No matter whatever I try to do with them they just turn out dull median grey. I've come to the conlusion that I am a colour photographer and the more the colour the better. Here goes one b&w anyway.

The above image is shot on the island of Jurmo which a really outstanding place. The image was originally shot in colour but I wanted to see how works in monochrome. Heavy vignetting added by Photoshop.

I have also posted a small gallery of photos from our sailing trip. You can see the gallery here. It is ok to leave comments.

Hanko by Sunset


Last week I was on holiday and we went sailing. It was fantastic we were really lucky with the weather as the sun was shining almost all the time. The above is a shot of Hanko skyline when we were approaching the harbour.

Hippodrome


I have been lazy publishing. That's because I haven't been shooting much lately. Last weekend I was at Juva and went to see these trot competitions. It was fantastic.

Wooooo...She's a Little Runaway


I went to see Bon Jovi on the Olympic Stadium yesterday. It was an ok show, nothing mindblowing but nice. Here's a boring shot from the gig. Enjoy midsummer. I'm sure I will....

Happy Birthday


On 20th of May it was the anniversary of my blog. I was supposed to post something on that day but...

Anyway I decided to post something today because I have some time on the computer before the football match kicks off. You know the European Championships are on.

I know it comes as no surprise to anyone that I like shooting reflections and twisting and turning them but here goes another anyway. It is shot at Fiskars. We went there with my Belgian mate Kristof who once again was visiting us. Thanks to Kristof for that it was nice having you here.

During the first year there were more than a thousand visits to my blog. Thank you all. Keep on reading. I will publish a gallery of photos from our trip to India someday soon.
