photowalk with Janika IV.

just two more photographs I took towards the end of our photowalk on the wooden jetty in Lammassaari. I am very sorry to say I will not have any other photo to blog for a while: the weather has been horrible and I have been too busy for photowalks sadly. I actually took my camera out last weekend but the film roll turned out to be a total disappointment. I will be back here as soon as I will have something worthy to share: if you like you can check out my older posts meanwhile.

I wish you all a nice weekend and a lovely start of December! ♥

photowalk with Janika III.

perhaps my favourites of all the pictures I took during my photowalk with Janika. the wooden causeway that connects Vanhakaupunki to Lammassaari is certainly one of my favourite spots and that day the light was absolutely spectacular. November can be surprisingly beautiful: there is always a sunset-like very romantic atmosphere. if only we had sunny days more often!

photowalk with Janika II.

more images from last Sunday when I went on a photowalk with wonderful and stylish Janika. what I love the most about photowalks with friends is the possibility to enjoy nature, take photographs and chat away happily at the same time. I want more photowalks!

photowalk with Janika I.

last Sunday the sun was finally shining after several cloudy days: it is so rare to see the sun light in November and that makes it even more beautiful and precious. I had already planned to go on a photowalk and I was so happy to be able to spend such a glorious day outdoors!

Janika came along since I had asked a friend to join me: we walked around Vanhakaupunkilahti enjoying the sunlight and some fresh air. I would like to have more of these photowalks with friends!

a few more photographs from that Saturday two weeks ago when the weather was beautiful and Jacopo and I visited Niskala Arboretum and had a lovely time despite the cold. I still hope we will see a few more days of sunshine before the end of the year: November has not been very generous.

perhaps November is not the best month for blogging: sadly the number of visitors and comments has started to decrease here. I will still ask a favour to the few who are stopping by: would you help me sharing the Facebook page where Jacopo and I share our photographs? please visit Lintustudio!

the light through the trees I.

it has been cloudy and rainy since the 2nd of November. on Saturday the 1st though the sun shone brightly for the whole day: Jacopo and I went back to Niskala Arboretum to see the wintry light filtering through the trees. there is something truly magical about sunlight in the forest!

I remember that day with so much pleasure! I wish I could take a walk in the forest every day but after work it is already dark: these are the hardest months because I cannot be outdoors as often as I wish.

the last of autumn colours.

I took these about three weeks ago but it feels like months already: all the trees are bare now and there is not a single colour in Helsinki. that Sunday afternoon the weather was glorious and the trees were golden: Jacopo and I went for a lovely walk around Töölönlahti.

autumn is such a beautiful time of the year: I wish it could last longer! the snow has already fallen a couple of times but it has melted quite quickly and it has been raining basically every day since the start of November. I hope the weather is better wherever you live: have a lovely weekend!

petzval in black and white.

I had not been shooting black and white in a very long time and I had never tried my Petzval nor my Nikon F5 with a black and white film. we finally decided to take some black and white portraits a few weeks ago on a Saturday morning at the botanic garden. going back to my darkroom was a wonderful pleasure and I think what came out of it is quite beautiful too!

I had miss darkroom processing so much: I must take time to do it more often this winter! my Petzval has once again done a stunning job and I cannot wait to take more black and white shots with her! ♥
