Riverscape

A couple of days ago I posted a sneak peek photo of my timelapse project on my instagram and facebook page. As I didn't post the photo here, I felt bad for those who only follow my blog, so I decided to give you something even better. Not just the iPhone quality, but a decent still photo taken with the 6D, enjoy.

New gear!

As I've already mentioned on my Facebook page I sold my whole Nikon gear, and for a while I've been collecting new even better camera gear! This time I bought Canon 6D (sorry all Nikonists), which I think is absolutely one of the best investments for a long time. Of course ended up I buying new lenses as well. For astro photos and landscapes I bought Samyang 14mm f/2.8 which is most likely the best lens for my purposes, at least by its quality-price ratio (245 euros). For portraits I bought Canon 85mm f/1.8 which was also reasonably cheap considering the quality of the images (290 euros). And last but not least, the 6D itself cost 1600 euros, YIIKES :S

I'm pretty broke despite of selling my old gear, but enough of the money talk. Now I have decent gear serving my needs better than my previous setup. I still love some of Nikon's features, but I've found some even better features from my new love. For example the thumb scroll, first I found it super clumsy, but the more I use it, the more I like it. Now I can take astro photos with ISO-12800 easily, and probably with even higher ISO-value, INCREDIBLE!

Here's a precisely the seventh photo I took with the 6D

EXIF:
Exposure time: 30sec
Aperture: f/2.8
ISO: 6400
Focal lenght: 14mm

Tenerife!

Hola people! Last week I was on a vacation at Tenerife, and I took pretty awesome photos! I'll post some of them as I manage to process them ( plenty of panoramas incoming! ).

... And yes I was photographing sunset above clouds!

The Moon Halo

Usually I hate the moon, but today is an exception. The moon made a dim halo to the sky which I found rather cool! My facebook page also hit 200 likes today, so this post is to celebrate those thumbs you've given me, THANK YOU SO MUCH! In case you don't already like my page please do it HERE

Astro remake

Hello people! Like usually "it's been quiet for a while". I'm not going to lie to you, honestly I've been lazy, and that's all. Last weekend was quite amazing, I had three workshops about astro photography at Kuva&Kamera -fair, and I met one of my biggest idols MIKKO LAGERSTEDT! I also learned a couple of new techniques how to process astro photos, which is super exciting and that's the reason for today's post. I reprocessed one of my personal favourite astro photos, and the difference between these two images is huge. The result with this advanced techinique is incredible, I'm pretty stoked!

Mist

I encountered this rather mystic mist earlier this week.

Selfie

Last night around 1 am I decided it was time to update my facebook profile photo, since the previous profile photo was one and a half year old. I also had a great opportunity to try out my new wireless flash trigger, which seemed to work out perfectly and it cost only 6 dollars :)
