Here is where images often first appear, before I have had time to develop a Project or Photo Essay to its final stage. It is the place to share some of the material I have been working on at an early stage of the process, together with the experiences around the work. Dive in and see what you find. For a more precise dive, select a category.
Sony A7RII : f/9@200th : ISO 2000 : EV 0.0 : FE 55mm f/1.8 A countdown of 100 images for the 100 days leading up to the 100th Year of Finland’s independence The title pretty much says it all. Understandably, the washing line is not seeing much action in the middle of winter but I thought it would be worth pointing out a particularly Finnish trait. If you’re going to build something, build it to last. That wall and that washing line […]
Sony A7RII : f/4@100th : ISO 1000 : EV -0.7 : FE 90mm f/2.8 A countdown of 100 images for the 100 days leading up to the 100th Year of Finland’s independence It’s the final weekend before xmas. Time to bring out the pastry dough, the cookie cutters from out the back of the cupboard, and turn the oven right up. A little bit of flour sprinkled on the counter, some heart and soul into the rolling, whack them into the oven and finish off with […]
Sony A7RII : f/6.3@200th : ISO 400 : EV -0.3 : FE 90mm f/2.8 A countdown of 100 images for the 100 days leading up to the 100th Year of Finland’s independence I came across this barn on a cold, clear morning when out walking with the kids. The sun has not risen above the treetops yet but the clear blue sky is reflected in the corrugated iron of the roof and every blade of grass is covered in a […]
Sony A7RII : f/5.6@200th : ISO 1600 : EV 0.0 : FE 90mm f/2.8 A countdown of 100 images for the 100 days leading up to the 100th Year of Finland’s independence Yes, there are definitely a few rotten apples out there but, in the right light and crusted in ice, they can still look quite appealing. Just remember to keep the rotten apples out of your barrel because you know what they say. Personally, I’m still recovering from a friend’s birthday party last […]
Sony A7RII : f/7.1@250th : ISO 1000 : EV 0.0 : FE 90mm f/2.8 A countdown of 100 images for the 100 days leading up to the 100th Year of Finland’s independence The same hay bales as yesterday, this time from the side. The sun has just managed to get high enough to hit the tops of the trees, the mist is rolling in in the background, the deserted farmhouse is still standing… And, funnily enough, seeing the hay bales […]
Sony A7RII : f/6.3@200th : ISO 640 : EV -0.3 : FE 90mm f/2.8 A countdown of 100 images for the 100 days leading up to the 100th Year of Finland’s independence Take the city boy into the countryside and look what happens, he starts taking photos of xmas trees and hay bales right outside his mother-in-law’s front door. She has learnt to tolerate his strange behaviour as he obviously loves her daughter. The sun hasn’t risen above the treeline yet and the […]
Sony A7RII : f/5.6@200th : ISO 320 : EV +1.0 : FE 55mm f/1.8 A countdown of 100 images for the 100 days leading up to the 100th Year of Finland’s independence I so enjoyed my previous walk on Seurasaari that I went back there with my partner on another glorious winter’s day for more of the same. Blue skies, temperature of minus something, and those amazingly old wooden buildings collected from all over Finland at Seurasaari Open-air Museum. Even though the […]
Sony A7RII : f/4@200th : ISO 500 : EV 0.0 : FE 55mm f/2.8 A countdown of 100 images for the 100 days leading up to the 100th Year of Finland’s independence The first thing that came to mind when I came across this bear in the woods is the phrase “Does a bear s**t in the woods”, a long way of giving a definitive ‘yes’ to a question. I’m not sure what this image of a lost bear would represent but […]
