these are the last prints from my latest
darkroom session and the last images I would like to share about my wintry walk in
Uunisaari. the weather is changing and the snow is melting: I am hoping for longer and sunnier days and for the spring to come early. I bet
Uunisaari looks so different now from how it looked just a couple of weeks ago: that day it felt like
a hidden island in the middle of the
Baltic Sea - I am so glad I was able to register it that way through my photographs.
the Baltic Sea in winter - Uunisaari:
Nikomat EL - Kodak BW400CN
these two are
my favourite among the whole series of prints: the contrast of
the black rocks against the white frozen sea and
that lonely bench looking towards the fog were such a powerful sight that I spent several moments just staring at it unable to take any photographs at all. that feeling of
peaceful solitude will stay with me for a very long time!
you can now take a look at the whole Uunisaari series on my online portfolio.
P.S. I have
an unfinished roll in my
Nikomat EL and that means I probably will not post anything here for a little while - waiting for
more photographic excursions. until then
have a lovely week!
Polly, these are incredible, it is like another world! I can't imagine being somewhere so magical and powerful! You inspire me to one day try out film photography! Your portfolio looks great, love the third one in the Uunisaari series!

Dear Ally, thank you so much for your lovely words!
DeleteStunning pictures! WOah.!
ReplyDeleteThank you! And thank you for stopping by!
DeleteIncredible! The texture and the contrast are amazing. It looks like you were on an expedition trying to find evidences of human life on a deserted place :)
ReplyDeleteThat would be really cool and adventurous, Inês! Thank you!
Deletewow !
ReplyDeleteThank you, Birdie! That spot looks very different now. I'm glad I went there precisely that day!
DeleteBut is that place safe? Oh dear me, I'm beginning to sound like my mother.. Great contrasts, by the way...
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear Antonella! Do not worry, that place is absolutely safe. The rocks might be a bit slippery, but it's just a matter of placing your steps carefully.
Deletethis series is so fascinating, polly.
ReplyDeleteI'm truly glad you think so, Silvia! Thank you!
DeleteWow.. these are so... unreal and out of the world <3 <3 <3
