Contrast II

When lazy, I just shoot from the balcony.

Shading

Playing with black&white. This parking lot looked so cool at the evening sun, I had to take few snapshots. I converted this photo to b&w first, but the red car looked just to neat to do it. So here's the result, half b&w, half color.

HRD-mania

A while back I suffered a serious condition called HDR-mania, which caused me to shoot and convert almost everything to hdr. Then I had this vision that everything looks great in HDR, even otherwise dull images. I went and bougth myself photomatix -licence and converted the shit out of my images with it. I guess I just had to get the hdr-troll out of me.

Nowadays I don't do it quite that often. It's true that hdr brings certain coolness to images, but I have to say that it doesn't convert everything to gold like I used to think. Great effect used with consideration, I really like how these two images above turned out.

Holy smoke

Couple of pictures from last winter, Tampere blows smoke like there's now tomorrow.

Contrast

First!!

Tsajajajaja, welcome to my brand new photoblog. I'll start with a couple of pictures taken with my shiny rangefinder, Yashica Electro GX. Fine little piece of work that camera, I'm exited to see how it will serve.
