Fallen

Hey, there! Everything is going great up in the north and I'm wishing you all a great summer and vacation!!! Here are few shots from the Friday night, first one was taken with Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM and the panoramic with 24mm. http://i.imgur.com/kFWixfD.jpg http://i.imgur.com/l5mxoiv.jpg

Missed a lot lately :/ Happy Birthday Bennoo!

A bit late :/ Happy Birthday Daniel!

Few more shots... http://i.imgur.com/xhaqwJE.jpg http://i.imgur.com/TTmNXZZ.jpg Red Anemone hepatica (stacked from several shots to get more depth of field) http://i.imgur.com/vGyUVEA.jpg

Two hedgehog's were arguing, here's a little sequence what was going on :) http://i.imgur.com/o1IDPuM.jpg http://i.imgur.com/3fH60fx.jpg http://i.imgur.com/U6XO2m8.jpg

Woke up early because of the pain on my wrist and took my camera out for a small walk. Greetings from the north and have a nice day you all! http://i.imgur.com/pjJTurw.jpg

Got some lucky shots there... hehe This is totally madness how things go out from your hands. I have been looking for a new lens for the landscape photography which would have sharper corners etc., I hope I'll find the right one for me. Have a nice weekend you all!!! Cheers!

^ Nice shots. Here are few shots from a foggy morning. The Count Dracula might have arrived to our little town...

My closest friends know that I'm always pushing myself to the limits, don't think it's being hard? hahahaha Here's one from my last night bicycle route. Weather wasn't the nicest but what can you do, this was taken between rain showers. http://i.imgur.com/X9MW51j.jpg

I liked to play against him esp. on Crossfire. GL Bibi

I'm at the beginning of my journey into the night photography. There's sooo much to learn :/ the post processing is something new for me and it takes ages to get everything right in these pictures. The only thing I hope that someday I will do it in proper way. These pictures have some small adjustments, but I don't like to use saturation etc. what some people use because it loses something.

^Cheers One more from that night. I took over 200 shots and created few panoramic pictures. Too bad that the sky wasn't clear :/ http://i.imgur.com/nm6gDAB.jpg

This was taken last night. http://i.imgur.com/gAm6PCv.jpg

Finally had some time to make more test shots for the right infinity focus point. You can see part of the Milky Way. Five minutes walk from my home. http://i.imgur.com/LnrRZ9Z.jpg

Yes, this was taken in the middle of day as a test shot and I used PROND1000, exposure time around 15sec. I just ordered few more with different values so I can stack them and increase the exposure time and get that silky look.

From my seasons first bicycle route. I had all my gear packed in my backpack (9kg) and managed to go over 35km... http://i.imgur.com/bYdQy4v.jpg

Picture is a bit fuzzy because of the humidity and the lens got some ice to it, I tried to get it clean quite often but obviously that was not enough. It's taken towards north as you can see there is some light pollution from the villages/towns and between them you can see faint northern lights which were far up north. http://i.imgur.com/JlGJu7H.jpg

I have Canon 5D Mark II and some fast Canon (3)Sigma(2)Samyang lenses(1). So far my favorite lenses are Canon 70-200mm 2.8 and Sigma's 50mm 1.4. I have some older Canon bodies and lenses too, but my kid is using those. I just recently bought Samyang 24mm f/1.4 for astrophotography because it's better from the corners etc. and used it for this just to see how it handles landscape. It seems I got a decent copy of it so far, but some night sky pictures will tell the truth. Unfortunately the weather here hasn't been good for that :/

Finally I had a change to go out with my new gear. Spent several hours walking in snow and got one decent picture. Daytime shot with long exposure time and 4-5ms wind. http://i.imgur.com/RM0cfoj.jpg

I don't like winter at all but I have to admit it can be damn pretty. Spent too many hours in the woods with my camera and intervalometer just to practice night photography, even it has been pretty cold and my gear got frozen couple of times...

We had -25 this morning, I packed my gear and went outside for couple of hours... http://i.imgur.com/uGnoivp.jpg

Tested my modified (old/slow) lens for Aurora Borealis. Too bad the weather got crappy and we missed some nice northern lights. http://i.imgur.com/BSHnIkX.jpg

Focus stacked Typha latifolia (77 pictures put together). Unfortunately it was a bit windy which didn't make this any easier... http://i.imgur.com/Ogsoauh.jpg
