Kayaking after sunset in Helsinki
Shutter speed 1/15 s. Nicely people are sharp but paddles move faster and are blurred. Shot yesterday evening after sunset in Lauttasaari, Helsinki.
Helsinki – take it easy now

Picture from 08/2012. Today is such a gray, miserable day that I decided to cheer up my mind by this lovely picture I took in the center of Helsinki.

A Happy Biker

Bikers at get-together rides are rather grown up. These people have both money and time.

This is a very different picture, taken by Jorma, my friend. The place is our cottage at Lake Inari. He shot the picture through a window and it is me there. We had yesterday fantastic arctic lights but I missed the opportunity. Maybe later.
Low light and sea water level in Lauttasaari
The water level was very low showing white layers in the rocks. Low light gives soft warm colours.

Seurasaari in Helsinki
Seurasaari is an island very close to Helsinki down town. There are forests enough to inhabit for instance Eagle Owl, Black Woodpecker, Three Toed Woodpecker, many hawks like Northern Goshawk and many others. Some birds, like a Blue Tit in the picture are really used to people.
Thursday Theme “In order not to forget”
Difficult again. I picked a shot taken in a bar in Key West, Florida. People leave their visit cards and some ladies even their bras in the bar in order to be not forgotten.

Thursday Theme “kaksoisolentoni”
According to Wikipedia “kaksoisolento” refers to look-alike person but is much more complicated than that. I found one in my galleries. Not exactly but a little.

Sanni and Mom
Actually I did not know about the nail paintings of my wife before seeing this picture on the screen. Here is the same picture both in color and black&white. Which one you like more? (Canon 5D, 85/1.2 at 2.2) Click the pictures!
Waiting for the Summer
It is raining, water, on 11th January in Helsinki! To spend my day I was browsing through my pictures and stopped here. The picture is taken in Neiden, Norway in July 2007. Neiden river is one of the best salmon rivers in Europe, and a very good one for fly fishing. I took the picture (Canon 1DMIIN + EF 500/4 at 6.3) from down stream. A big lens is packing the view and making the rapids looking bigger and stronger as they really are. Click the picture!
