Years burn

I turned 18! Yahoo! Here are two little photos from our little evening gathering. After that we went to visit few bars in central Helsinki with my dad and I got a free drink or two but no more of that. :) Below following two pictures there’s three more of my mum burning those candles away few days later. You may click those thumbs to view the photos in their full size.

Triple jumping in Eltsu

  • September 27, 2008 3:04 pm

Olin fanittamassa Mark Turusen kolmiloikkakisoja Eläintarhan eli Eltsun urheilukentällä elokuun 31. päivä. “Satuin” samalla ottamaan mukaani 135 millisen objektiivini testattavaksi, koska paloin halusta päästä kokeilemaan kyseistä putkea urheiluvalokuvaukseen. Otettiin myös pari muutaman minuutin kokovartalopotrettia. Kuvia:

Street photography in Helsinki

  • September 11, 2008 11:30 pm

The photo above is one of many images from my today’s trip to the central Helsinki. (Read: A photo gallery containing these shots is under construction.) I restrained myself to use my EOS 350D DSLR and one lens, the new one, only… And oh boy what a combination it was!”
-Autumn is coming

New gallery is up. Enjoy! [Link]

To give you some idea how I managed to keep shooting for approximately two and a half hours in constant rain I posted some pictures of the DIY rain cover I did. See them under the link below. (Fun fact about those pics: Because I don’t have a second camera body the photos are taken through two mirrors.)
