Waiting for sunrise, Lauttasaari, Helsinki
Here are six landscape photos that I took today. At sunrise time there was about -13°C, and fog was rising from the sea 🙂 Because of this cold, the sea is also freezing fast and creating nice ice formations (although walking on those ice covered stones is not so nice….). All these photos are from Lauttasaari, Helsinki.

Fire Art Performance, Kallio Kipinöi Festival
Yesterday I photographed the fire art show that was part of Kallio Kipinöi festival. Fire art is always rather difficult to photograph (I have photographed it twice earlier: 2005 and 2007), you must use the tripod, but you must still follow the performers. And take a lot of photos, so some of them will succeed…

Link to Kamppi Fall Season Opening 2010 Gallery
Last month I photographed the Kamppi Fall Season Opening fashion show in Kamppi shopping center. The catwalk was bright red, so these pictures are quite colorful 🙂 But white balance adjustment was quite challenging, as there was light from many different sources: daylight, normal shopping center lights, spotlights for the catwalk, light reflecting from the red catwalk, and my fill flash (warmed with orange gel)…
Link to Muoti 2010 Fashion Show Gallery
I visited Muoti 2010 fashion fair on 15.10. and photographed the general fashion show, i.e. Muoti 2010 Fashion show, and the wedding fashion show. Here are 66 photos from the Muoti 2010 fashion show. I will add later gallery from the wedding fashion show to my web site.
Sunset from Lauttasaaren silta #1
The sunset today in Helsinki was amazing, the sky was really on fire! I just hope that I would have had my DSLR with me and that I would have been in southern tip of Lauttasaari or at the top Hotel Torni… So these photos are taken with compact camera (Panasonic LX3) on my way to home. Two additional photos below.

View from Hotel Torni to the northwest
Here are few sunset photos from the roof terrace of Hotel Torni in Helsinki. The roof terrace is in the 14th floor and offers excellent views to the Helsinki city center. I took these photos during two evenings this week. Can landscape photography be any more pleasant? Sitting in terrace, enjoying excellent view, drinks and refreshing breeze… 🙂
