seurasaari.

lately I have been trying to go for walks as often as possible: spending time in the nature makes me feel better and more productive. sometimes I am alone and some other times with Jacopo or a dear friend. my Nikomat EL and my Cokin filters have become constant companions of these walks - thankfully I still have plenty of those Kodak films that my dad gave me for Christmas!
Seurasaari:
Nikomat EL - Efiniti UXi Super 200
I finished the Efiniti UXi that Evelyn sent me last week in Seurasaari: it was a cloudy evening and the light of the day was almost gone - yet it was wonderfully peaceful and I could manage to take a few photographs that I like around the shores of the island. now that the snow has melted I wonder when the ice on the sea will finally melt. that view of the Ruoholahti power plant is quite impressive!

    1. Thank you so much, Etta! I know how you feel; sometimes it's hard for me to find places to photograph in Helsinki that I haven't been to a million times before. I wish I could travel more often!

  5. Although I have mixed feelings about power plants that is such a wonderful image, kind of like the sea is puffing away lazily.. :D

    1. I know what you mean, Katie. The contrast of the power plant in such serene surroundings makes the photograph interesting though, doesn't it?

  6. Wonderful!
    I tried to select my favourite one of these, but it it isn't too easy. All I can say is that it is one of the first, third and fifth. :)

    1. Thank you, Barbara! It was a very moody evening, almost too dark to photograph. I'm looking forward to long spring days now!

  10. I like how the dark tones contrast with the light blue tones. You make me want to try the Uxi in places with less light!

  11. i've never seen the sea covered with ice in person, so for me this is a powerful image, too.

    1. It can be a sight, but I cannot wait for the ice to melt right now... and for the spring to come!
