I hadn't been to
Suomenlinna in a very long time - snow was still covering the ground last time I was there walking with
Jacopo. to tell the truth I had been avoiding the island on purpose: during the summer it is so packed with tourists it is almost overwhelming.
last saturday though it felt more like an
autumn day than a summer one and the grey sky was threatening - that would have stopped at least part of the tourists: the perfect time for a visit to the island with my
Konstruktor. my dear
DIY camera has done once again a lovely job with her
second film roll.
Lomography Konstruktor DIY:
film roll: Fuji Superia X-tra 800.
despite the clouds the weather was mild:
Jacopo and I decided to take our time strolling around the island taking photographs and passing through all of
our favourite spots. I really love that pink building: it looks like a palace belonging to a different era - every time I visit
Suomenlinna I love it a little bit more with its fading paint on the walls.
I will share more from this roll next week. I wish you all a lovely weekend! ♥
The small tractor! The buildings look beautiful indeed. That's one of the great things in the North, the colored houses.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Ingeborg! I loved that toy tractor myself. And I totally agree about the houses being so colourful here in the North - at least old houses though, as contemporary ones tend to be too minimalistic and cold perhaps.
DeleteI'm the same, I never like to go anywhere that I know is going to be jam-packed with tourists! Looks like you picked a great day to go... can't wait to see more photographs! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear Katie! I'm glad you're looking forward to seeing more photos: I have posted a few more and I will do so again for a third post!
DeleteThe red tones is amazing here :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week,Polly!
Thank you, Sara! That red tractor really stood out, I have to say!
DeleteHave a wonderful week as well!
I agree. The colours are somewhat muted, but the red tones are lovely!
DeleteYes, it's what usually happens on a cloudy summer day in Finland. That is why I enjoy taking photographs on a cloudy day!
DeleteI think these pictures turned out to be really great, the Konstruktor works really well! I was really amazed by how well the pictures turned out to be: it was overcast, quite dark and still the images are not blurry or underexposed!
ReplyDeleteI really like that small camera!
:)
Jacopo, thank you! I'm so happy you like this new camera as much as I do! We will have more and more walks together with it! ♥
Deletesuomenlinna, wow! i loved that pink building when i visited the island ♥
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you love it too, Silvia! It's quite common to visit Suomenlinna during a trip to Helsinki, yet not everyone manages to see all the best spots of the island - if you've reached the pink building when you were there, it means you've seen one of the most beautiful parts of it! ♥
DeleteThe place looks lovely. And you have created so beautiful images with the camera. I love all the 4 series.
ReplyDeleteThank you so so much for all your comments and appreciations! A warm welcome to this blog!
DeleteThe tiny bike is so cute. I love the vivid red this film has.
ReplyDeleteIndeed a lovely toy tractor! The Superia films are quite good - I like the 800 especially.
