Another image from my little shooting in Koitelinkoski. The whole evening while I was there, the sky had only a few clouds. But just around/after sunset some more clouds showed up the sky went totally crazy. It didn't last too long, but long enough to get a few shots from there. The dynamic range was rather big, which didn't make it any easier. I think I used two filters with together 5stops here. I hope you like and thanks for visiting...

I arrived early on my destination at the island of Hailuoto (basically because I took me and my bike to a bus ;-) ) and therefore had the chance to explore the area a little. I spotted this place already from the window of the bus and immediately had the idea for some kind of panoramic image, so I drove back and waited for the sunlight to become less harsh.

I arrived early on my destination at the island of Hailuoto (basically because I took me and my bike to a bus ;-) ) and therefore had the chance to explore the area a little. I spotted this place already from the window of the bus and immediately had the idea for some kind of panoramic image, so I drove back and waited for the sunlight to become less harsh. I processed this image from three images in Photoshop and Lightroom and I'm rather satisfied with it. I kind of always came back to it in my library. Bigger it's better though. I hope you like and thanks for visiting. 

I break my self-made rule of posting one image per week with this one, because I wanted to share this image with you. I'm myself surprised how it turned out, because I made so many mistakes here. Just before this shot, I took another one, and when I turned around I noticed this scene. I quickly set up and attached a 2 stop GND filter. I was a little in a hurry because I had a feeling the fisher will not stay long there and I was right. This...

I break my self-made rule of posting one image per week with this one, because I wanted to share this image with you. I'm myself surprised how it turned out, because I made so many mistakes here. Just before this shot, I took another one, and when I turned around I noticed this scene. I quickly set up and attached a 2 stop GND filter. I was a little in a hurry because I had a feeling the fisher will not stay long there and I was right. This shot turned out to be underexposed and the focus is off (I was practicing manual focus and failed). While still checking which other filter to apply he left this spot and the scene was gone. I did another shot of this fisher on the rocks, which still was not exposed correctly. I should have just bracketed my exposures and merged them later. So lesson learned. I was still able to recover some things in Lightroom and am little surprised about the outcome. I kind of like the "painterly" look of the image, though it would likely not work out as a big print. What do you think? I hope you like it anyway and thanks for visiting.  UPDATE: Richard just enabled to upload larger images and I uploaded a slightly edited and bigger version. 

I had been a little absent from this site the last few weeks due to a little holiday trip, and when I came back the motherboard of my computer decided to not work anymore. So I had no chance to post something fresh lately.  I had a very eventful shooting the other night. I went to the island of Hailuoto, which is a gorgeous place to shoot.

I had been a little absent from this site the last few weeks due to a little holiday trip, and when I came back the motherboard of my computer decided to not work anymore. So I had no chance to post something fresh lately.  I had a very eventful shooting the other night. I went to the island of Hailuoto, which is a gorgeous place to shoot. Unfortunately it was very windy that evening, so I didn't do a lot of shots that I would have liked to do. There are beautiful scenes with flowers out there right now, but they were moving so much in the wind that getting a sharp image was impossible. So I decided to take the best out of that situation, and experiment with some more blurry frames. I hope the weather will change soon, so that I have a chance to go back there.  I took quiet a few frames at the coast, which I will post later. I got attacked twice by some vicious birds and they also took the opportunity to s**t on my tripod! But this one I captured already on my way back to the ferry. I liked the colours of the scene and the movement of the grass. I hope you like it and thanks for visiting my site.  UPDATE: I replaced the original image with a slightly different edit. I got some suggestions over at the forum which I applied to this one. 

I didn't had the possibilty to shoot here so much but I had the chance today to take my new polarizer for a little walk (actually more a ride) to the Bürgerpark in Bremen where I spotted this location a few days ago. These boats are actually for rent and it's a nice place to spend some time. Last week I figured out that the evening light will light this place nice and I came back today and hoped for the right conditions. Again...

Again I'm not working on my own computer and I'm not 100% sure about the colours here. So I might replace the image with another version later. I hope you like it and thanks for visiting.  

I did not have so much photo-oportunities during the last two weeks, so here's one from last month. It's also from Koitelinkoski but a little bit up the river of this one and shot also a little later if I remember correctly, just before sunrise. The sun is already rising behind the trees in the back. It was very calm out there, but a little bit of wind made the tree a little bit blurry. I'm not so happy about that, but no can do. ...

The sun is already rising behind the trees in the back. It was very calm out there, but a little bit of wind made the tree a little bit blurry. I'm not so happy about that, but no can do. It's really a gorgeous location. I'm looking forward to return to there, when there are some more clouds in the sky. I have now exclusively posted landscapes in the past few months. I like landscapes very much, but I look forward to try to capture something else also. Let's see what happens. I would also like to thank everyone who commented on my images. I hope you like it and thanks for visiting. (And again, I haven't been processing this one, on my own computer, so I'm little unsure about the colours etc. Maybe I will replace this later with another version)

 Another image from my little trip to this bird-reservoir (still lacking of a better term) somewhere at the coast of Limminka. It's a very calm place out there. I hope you like it and thanks for visiting. UPDATE: I re-posted the same image again in a little smaller size and in a little different processing. I haven't been working on my own computer and the colours were a little off. UPDATE 2: Liked it bigger better ;-)

Another colourful image from my last time in Varjakka. I was almost leaving from there when I saw this a little down the beach and I'm quite pleased with the shots from there. I hope you like it and thanks for visiting.

The other day I was out exploring this location near Limminka. I think it's some sort of bird watching location. Not sure though. I spend some time and enjoyed the silence of that place. The only thing to hear there were the birds singing. It's not really a spectacular place, but I enjoyed the simplicity and openess at this location and the beautiful colours at sunset. I hope you enjoy my work and thanks a lot for visiting. On a side...

We had finally nice weather, and it seems now it finally starts to get spring (I know, I said that a few weeks ago, it turned out I was wrong then) and I took the chance for a little ride to the other side of the bay. I visited that place already during wintertime and decided to go back now in spring.

We had finally nice weather, and it seems now it finally starts to get spring (I know, I said that a few weeks ago, it turned out I was wrong then) and I took the chance for a little ride to the other side of the bay. I visited that place already during wintertime and decided to go back now in spring. Very nice place and I kept strolling around that place for a while before I found some nice spots to get some images. It was rather windy during the day, but in the evening it calmed down and it was very peaceful out there. I hope you like it and thanks for visiting. And yeah, I'm unsure about the ID of those flowers. If anyone would happen to know, I would appreciate the help. I recommend to use the dark theme for this image.
