Murder/suicide?

Move to Tibet?

Shrug your shoulders and move on?

Don't be a pussy?

So many options!

Play.com had the Arrowhead standalone on sale couple of weeks ago so I pulled the trigger. And doubletapped for a Radeon 5770 to run the bastard. Haven't had any time to install or try it though. Damn house renovation.

Quote from SamH :The UK ain't much fun either, but I can imagine that buying a camera in Finland without buying at least one flashgun would be like buying a car without wheels.

On the other hand, I bet your "golden hours", when they happen, last a lot longer than ours! When I lived in Chicago (much further south than the UK), it wasn't so much a "golden hour" as a "golden 15 minutes".

It's more about the thing that Finland is a amazingly boring land with nothing of interest unless you have a thing for are pine trees. No race tracks, no large car parks, no vacant industrial zones, no deserts, no fields, no rocky mountains, no waterfalls, meh.

The lack of light doesn't help either.

Sadly Falcon 4.0 is still king of the hill of the hardcore modern flight sim with dynamic campaigns. Good news is it still rocks.

If anyone was uncertain, Finland is the goddamn worst place on earth to do photography.

She wanted to build a rock model portfolio for herself so this was the start. Going on different direction in next shoot.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :Nice one, Mikko.

Getting closer to completing my great kit rearranging...



Still not sure if I want to swap out the 16-35/4VR for a 14-24/2.8...

The 14-24/2.8 is amazing and destined to be a classic Nikkor so I'd say yes if you don't need filters and have balls of steel.

And yes, I'm green with envy of your lens collection. Dayumn!

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

No, not composite. I just used the GND tool in LR3 to give the sky -1EV, dodged the bike/rider a bit, and did the usual amped up blacks/contrast and desaturation thing.

edit: side note... are these "Suomy" helmets somehow related to Finland?

edit edit: hmm... Italian. Weird.

Unfortunately there's no 'Epicness of scenery' slider or 'Insert desert with huge friggin' clouds' buttons in my world.

Never heard of Suomy helmets but we got sausage hats in the army.

Please tell me that's a composite image.

In Finland race tracks look like this:



Actually 99.99% of Finland looks like that.

Quote from DevilDare :Please say you are just messing around...

Apparently the humour gene bolt fell off from you too when you left your mother's pit lane.

Anyway.

When Webber won I was hoping along the Finnish commentators he'd again say "Not bad for 2nd driver" on the radio and make it a running joke.

Quote from majod :true, his jacket is a bit distracting...btw is this a guitar commercial?

The jacket was very cool if anything.

But, yeah, you could say it's more of a mandolin commercial as it's not really meant to be a straight up portrait. We shot quite a lot of 'safer' portraits that day but usually I pick the stranger stuff for myself.

I liked this as it contained small clues about the style of their music, their image with catchy clothes and greasy 50's rockabilly hair styles and the name of the man in the head stock.

And now something completely different.



She was having her bachelorette party and her friends booked her a impromptu modeling session. The theme for her bachelorette party had something to do with TV-series about becoming a supermodel.

Somewhat stressful shoot due to various reasons. Time pressures prohibited me from doing scouting beforehand so I scrambled for a location near their party in the same morning. No time to fiddle with the equipment or lights when the group arrives so it's straight to the shooting and trying to pull the exposure together in very few test shots to keep the small amount of momentum going on before the bachelorette chickens or tires out (she was not drunk enough that time of the day). Nikon system and their CLS is amazing in these kind of settings. Too bad it doesn't deliver the alcohol too.

Oh yeah and then it was group shots. Change the lights, pull the exposure together, shoot shoot shoot, bag gear, have terrible tan lines when the day is over.

DWB, the screaming lady is great! I've wondered is the daylight really so different where you live, it always looks much more pleasant than here in the North. My astronomy or whatever isn't great so I dunno lol if it's just an illusion... or more likely because you are great with the lens pointin', shutter squeezin' stuff.
