did I mention that for Christmas my dad has given me a box with over
50 rolls of 35mm film? such a wonderful present! they are all
Kodak 400 and 200 rolls so you will see me using those for many months to come. for my birthday a few weeks ago I got another wonderful present from Jacopo: a set of
Cokin filters! I finally got the chance to try them out
last weekend once I recovered from a nasty flu.
Kaitalampi looked so different from the last time we had been there!
winter in Kaitalampi - part I:
Nikomat EL - Kodak 400
that day the snow was still fresh and beautifully piled up on the trees.
Kaitalampi lake was frozen and we could walk the length of it admiring the forest from a different point of view. I think the
Cokin filters really made a difference: the sky was so bright that I would have not been able to get the same results without them. I am especially proud of that
first photograph taken in direct sunlight!
Such beauty in winter!
