last days of summer II.

I wanted to share a few more photographs from that beautiful sunny day - when summer did not seem to be over just yet. I am glad I have received so many lovely comments to my previous post: I am quite pleased with the way this film roll turned out and I hope you will enjoy this second selection of photographs as much as the first. Fuji Provia 100F has been a wonderful discovery this summer: I am going to miss it when the days will get darker.

Lomography Konstruktor DIY - Fuji Provia 100F
I wanted to experiment a little by taking double exposures with my Konstruktor: here you can see one Jacopo took of me and in the previous post there is one I took of him - I am happy with both!

tomorrow morning we will leave for a five-day trip to Lapland: Ruska must have started already by now and I cannot wait to see those magnificent colours again - last year I took some of my favourite photographs ever there! besides my Nikon FM and my Hasselblad I am going to bring along my Konstruktor as well this time. plus I have been saving the films I was sent by Lomography for a special occasion: this trip will be a special occasion indeed so I am taking them all with me!
I will see you all next week! ♥

  12. I think I have been looking at the last picture for several long moments until I realised that the animal/being I imagined half submerged in the calm water was a rock. I still would like to think that it is not a stone but a 'hiisi' and that it quietly dived and slipped away after this picture was taken.

    1. You know, Cathérine, I had to look up for Hiisi on Google - I didn't know what it was. Now that I do, I wish that rock was really a Hiisi!

  13. I didn't know about hiisi for a long time either until I went for a swim after sauna once (I think it was in Suomussalmi) and I met a moose cow and her calf. They were swimming across the bay and scared the sh**t out of me. Being very short-sighted and without glasses I had just seen two dark blops of something coming out of nowhere right up to my face... our host made fun out of me (in a nice way) and said that I was lucky to have met the 'hiisi' even if it was 'just' a hirvi.

    1. That's a funny story in retrospect, even though you must have been very scared at the time! I'd love to see a moose and her calf swimming!
