Julius Koivistoinen: Photoblog and portfolio

“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.)

“One more thing. There’s a new gallery of a skateboarding competition (SkateSM 08) coming up in the near future so stay tuned!”

-Still around here somewhere

The title says it all. Enjoy!

“Skate SM miniramppi kisat järjestettiin Kiasman design minillä johon oli lisätty kaksi extensionia. Kisat hoiti kotiin Enis joka oli kuulemma juuri treenannut Espanjassa takapihan pooleja muutaman viikon ajan.

Eilen 5.9. jo 11. kerran järjestetty Nelosen ilotulitus, joka on samalla ilotulituksen Suomen mestaruuskilpailu, keräsi yli 100 000 katsojaa Töölönlahden liepeille Helsingissä. Kilpailuun osallistuivat Ilotulitus Oy, SkyStar, Tulitemestarit, JoHo Pyro ja Tähtiraketti, joista voittajaksi selvisi JoHo Pyro näyttävällä värishow’llaan. Kilpailijat esiintyivät samaisessa järjestyksessä.

Tässä ottamiani valokuvia kyseisestä tapahtumasta:

Canon EOS 350D, EF 17-40mm f/4L USM, EF 135mm f/2L USM, 430EX, ST-E2

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!

Still not sure what lens it might be?

May I present you, Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM!

See the setup here - 3 strobes @ 1/8 power. CTO and CTB gels used on the flashes behind lenses.

I attended to Finnish version of the global Nike+ Human Race event which was a really fun experience even though the number of participants was nothing compared to other countries’.

I ran the distance of 10 kilometers in 54 minutes and could have easily continued further. I’m confident of myself being ready for the next year’s half maraton.
