Breath it out

Long time no se..FIRE. Here's something to cheer you up since it's autumn, we all need more light don't we?

Farewell summer

As much as I love summer, I warmly welcome autumn. One of the coolest things in Finland is autumn. As the leaves turn yellow and brown. It's like natures own seasong ending firework. And the second best thing in autumn is the fresh scent in the air after sunset. This photo is taken on the same road where I took the mist photo this spring.

Astro season is ON

Right now I'm pretty excited because I took propably the best astro photo so far. New moon, not too many clouds, nearly astronomical darkness, shooting stars, could it really be any better. In my opinion: NO, except some auroras would be welcome, but anyhow last night was stunning. The fresh autumn scent floating in the air in the middle of dark forest. I can't imagine anything cooler than this. I took 100 frames for my timelapse video also which is nice as well. Unfortunately this week's weather forecast doesn't look too good for me. It's going to rain whole week.

Photo weekend

Last weekend was quite amazing. I was instructor at a 3-day photographing camp. I had the pleasure of meeting some young promising photographers and working with insanely talented models. This was one of the best moments of this summer without a doubt. Significent thanks for everyone who participated. And special thanks for Samuel for taking the silhouette portrait of me.

Das Bayern

For a change I'm posting something extraordinary. My dear cousin wanted me to take a shot of his car, and I wanted to add a creative touch into it with photoshop. Although it's been a long time since I've used anything but exposure and colour corrections, I am extremely happy with the results.

Forest stream

Yesterday we went to scout for new locations for our timelapse project with a friend of mine, and we definitely nailed it. I heard a hint about this location, and as we managed to navigate there, we were stunned. I've lived 25 years in this city and I didn't know this place. I'm a little confused, because I thought I've explored all the cool locations in this one-horse town. Luckily, I was wrong.

As a photographer I love to spend my time behind camera, but this time I got caught between two cameras. Still I was behind my own precious camera. Credits for the lower photo belongs to Niko. Thank you very very much :)

Favourite spot

I was browsing through my photo library, and I found one decent unedited photo ( actually plenty of them ), from one of my favourite locations, under the bridge. This place can actually be seen from my previous post. Without further ado, here you go!
