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.

Photography course pt.1

Here we go again! I had a photography course a week ago at the local adult education centre, and I'm currently having another one. The first one was pretty much the same that I had last year. It was about playing with your camera and doing ridiculous things with different kinds of lights, filters, ice, plants, tiny figures and much more. If you ask me that's an excellent way to spend your weekend. I took ~ 700 photos during that weekend, so I won't post them in a single post. Thanks for everyone who participated the course and assisted me with my photos, and special thanks for the teacher of course :)

Long exposure motion

I guess it's time for a little experiment. This is very easy one to do. All you need is a camera and a tripod. The idea is to capture head- and brakelights as one lightbeam. This would be much easier to do if you don't live in a ghost town like I do. There were like two cars driving past my spot in minute, so I had to do a little stitching in photoshop. Just put all your photos (taken from same spot) in one file in separate layers and change blending mode to lighten in every layer except the original one. I had five or six layers in this one. Photos were take with around 8 seconds timing, f8 and iso 200. If you have taken photos like this, post them for me :)

Bokeh experiment

I did a little experiment where I used the carton, depth of field, and Christmas lights. I'm too tired to explain what I did, let the pictures speak for themselves. The last picture is definetely my favourite, thank you mom for helping me out :)
