The answer referred to lightning seen in the upper parts of a cloud, which is silent when seen from farther than 15km away. The instant I read the answer, I [...]]]> http://www.kallepahajoki.net/2009/08/13/elosalama-eli-kalevantuli/feed/ 0 http://www.kallepahajoki.net/2009/08/09/moon-over-the-suburb/ http://www.kallepahajoki.net/2009/08/09/moon-over-the-suburb/#comments Sun, 09 Aug 2009 06:58:37 +0000 Kalle http://www.kallepahajoki.net/?p=535 When arriving home at around midnight on thursday, I found before this scene brightly lit by a moon accompanied by a planet I later learned was Jupiter. Being tired from the ride home, I settled for a quick snap from our balcony. The exposure time is 15 seconds (at f/5.0, ISO100), and you can already [...]]]> http://www.kallepahajoki.net/2009/08/09/moon-over-the-suburb/feed/ 0 http://www.kallepahajoki.net/2009/08/06/learning-the-constellations/ http://www.kallepahajoki.net/2009/08/06/learning-the-constellations/#comments Thu, 06 Aug 2009 04:58:53 +0000 Kalle http://www.kallepahajoki.net/?p=531 I’ve felt for a long time that I should be able to identify more of the constellations. I mean, I can instantly locate the Big Dipper (or Plough) that is part of Ursa Major (as can probably every kid over 5 years in Finland), and I even knew that I could locate Polaris based on [...]]]> http://www.kallepahajoki.net/2009/08/06/learning-the-constellations/feed/ 0 http://www.kallepahajoki.net/2009/07/15/lapland-panorama-tornio-river-curve-in-jatuni/ http://www.kallepahajoki.net/2009/07/15/lapland-panorama-tornio-river-curve-in-jatuni/#comments Wed, 15 Jul 2009 19:59:32 +0000 Kalle http://www.kallepahajoki.net/?p=460 I shot four shots of the Tornio River in Jatuni in Finnish Lapland in February of 2008. I finally got around to downloading the open source Hugin panorama tools on my Mac to see what would come out of them. The first problem was that I had not locked the exposure when shooting the photos.

It is quite accidental in that I was just shooting the flower when the flying thingy decided to pay a visit to the flower, and the shutter speed was fast enough to capture the thingy because of the ample sunlight.

The rainy weather, blooming tulips and the rusty bike forced me to dig my K10D from the camera bag. I mostly experimented with the out-of-focus rendering of my Sigma 24-60/2.8. Here’s what I caught on my sensor tonight. The glow of the fire Apple tree in [...]]]> http://www.kallepahajoki.net/2009/06/04/rusty-bicycle/feed/ 0 http://www.kallepahajoki.net/2008/12/03/alone-she-stands-surrounded-by-friend/ http://www.kallepahajoki.net/2008/12/03/alone-she-stands-surrounded-by-friend/#comments Wed, 03 Dec 2008 20:28:21 +0000 Kalle http://www.kallepahajoki.net/?p=341 Kaikessa muuttoon liittyvässä hässäkässä valokuvaus ja kuvankäsittely ovat olleet pitkään täysin laiminlyötyinä. Useasti eri tilanteissa on tullut mieleen: “Olisipa nyt kamera mukana”. Jos kamera on ollut mukana, niin on muka ollut liian kiire pysähtyä ottamaan kuvaa. Mitä hölmöilyä.  Ikeasta tuli ostettua muutama 50×70cm kehys, joista yksi on menossa joululahjaksi.

The photograph gave me conflicting feelings, because out of the camera, it was not much of a photograph, but I felt there was something inside the picture that wanted out. Something cold, dark, violent.

The photograph is from our bedroom and I used the bedside table lamps to create a warm atmosphere. The ambient interior lighting was combined with the sunny autumn scene outside. I shot two exposures on a tripod, for the [...]]]> http://www.kallepahajoki.net/2008/09/28/an-attempt-at-real-estate-photograph/feed/ 0
