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:
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
Have you ever wondered why some photography are lacking of the “wow”-factor and look flat while other shots may look so great that you drop? Maybe some photos look so amazing that you can’t even believe they’re real. Well that may be just the case…

I’d like to share a series of images where you can see the development of one of my photos (above) from the original file to the image which hopefully does indeed have some of that “woahness”. My post processing starts off with Lightroom’s basic brightness, color and contrast adjustments and after that I do dodging, burning, cloning etc. using Photoshop. It may sound pretty simple - and it is - but I think it really makes the difference!
What do you think?
Got my first umbrella - a silver bounce umbrella - and this is me testing it for my first time. Thanks to lioncat and my lovely sister for hanging around in front of the camera.

It has been so long since I last time was photographing airsoft so I was very excited about it! Even though there were only Janne, Väinö and I.
This time I was also really inspired by James Nachtwey’s war photography (link) and I tried really hard to archieve somewhat same feeling to some of my shots as he does. I also got to shoot with Väinö’s old film camera which was very exciting too. Those pics will be avaible later though…
Oh, and by the way. Piu piu piu is like pow pow pow in English.
