Lines and Reflections

f/36 | 20 sec | ISO 50 It’s nice to experiment with a zoom lens. For example, this ordinary evening lakefront scene turned out quite interesting at the 200mm focal length.

Whooper Swan

There is something so majestic about the Whooper Swan (Cygnus cygnus), the national bird of Finland. In Finland they are not a rare sight, but I have never before seen one nesting. I was able to stay far enough from it

Corpsessed live at Virgin Oil Co.

  The last band I photographed that night at Virgin Oil Co. was Corpsessed, an up-and-coming death metal band from my hometown. After shooting the 2 other bands already I was clearly warmed up when these guys hit the stage. I’m

Foreseen live at Virgin Oil Co.

The second band I shot that night at Virgin Oil Co. was Foreseen, a rising crossover band from Helsinki. Especially the vocalist proved to be very tough to photograph as he didn’t seem to stay still even for a second.

Moonlit Paradise pt.IV

Here are the last photos I took during this visit to the island. In retrospect, a wide-angle lens would have been perfect for many of these moonlit scenes… I need to get one some day in the future. f/3.5 | 30 sec | ISO
