Into the woods

Yesterday I decided to drive up to Noux nationalpark to go and explore some new places. I have been wanting to go there for a while now but haven´t really gotten around to do it. First I wanted to get some photos of the sunset because the weather was really nice but when I got there the sun went behind the clouds so I had to find something else. 

I bought an ND-filter a while back but had not gotten to use it so much. While walking around I found this small river where I got to finally try out to get these milky river shots. I am really happy how they turned out and will be taking a lot more of these in the future.  It makes the river feel more alive and I love the effect it makes to the water.

Tell me if you liked the pictures and if you have any tips & tricks let me know!

A lot of relaxing & chocolate

Hope everyone had a lovely Easter and got to eat a lot of chocolate and take it easy. I have been spending easter with my girlfriend, family & friends. We celebrated my friends birthday and my girlfriends sisters birthday last week and then took a small "roadtrip" with my girlfriend to Hanko this weekend and stayed there for one night. It was so relaxing we went out for dinner, which was delicious then we played some boardgames, went for a hike and just chilled. I feel relaxed and ready for this week.

I still have one week left of normal school and then our test week begins and after that we only have one period left and then school is over, so ready for summer. My birthday is also coming up soon which I am pretty stoked about.  

Have a lovely week :)

Lazy Weekend

Hello!

Hope you have had an amazing weekend. I have been taking it super easy this weekend. On Friday we celebrated my friends 18th birthday, such a fun party. On saturday we stayed at home with my girlfriend, ate good food and just hung around such a relaxing day and today I have been working on a upcoming project with Grabbarna Flytt and been enjoying the weather outside with a short walk.

I am helping Grabbarna Flytt edit a small video that they shot during their last delivery, where they helped Janni Delér move her furniture down to Monaco, I am really stoked about this project and will let you guys know more when it is finished.

Have a lovely week!

Long Exposure with ND-filter

   So I have finally invested in a ND-filter. I bought a Hoya variable ND-filter which ranges from 3-400 stops so I do not have to buy a couple different once, even tough it might not be as good of a filter as a specific stop but very handy. I have been wanting to get one for so long but haven´t had a good lens for it but decided to get one that fits my sigma 18-33 and then use a step-up ring for it to fit my fisheye because the range is wider on my Sigma than my fisheye.

   I drove out to porkkala yesterday after school to try to get some long exposures of the ocean because the ocean is not frozen over there so I got a lot more movement than from around here. I still have a lot to learn about taking long exposures with my ND-filter but hopefully I will start getting those dreamy long exposure photos.

Tell me what you think about the photos and / or if you have any tips for getting better photos let me know!

Have a lovely weekend!

Street Portraits

Hello!

 
   The weather these last couple of days has been incredible, a couple degrees minus, sunshine and the snow has finally started to melt of the streets. I took advantage of the weather and went out to take some photos because why waste such a beautiful day just sitting at home. Yesterday I went out with my sister Jenny to take some photos for her blog, afterwards I picked up my friend Alec to take some photos of him for his soundcloud and today I went with my girlfriend Emma to also take some photos of her for her blog (You can find a link to their pages on the bottom of this post).

   I have really gotten into photographing people lately so it was really nice getting to photograph people close to me, I think it is easier because I kind of know what they like and what kind of photos they are also looking for. It is something I definitely want to start doing more of. I really like how the pictures turned out, it was super fun and the weather was a big bonus.
 
   I will be photographing more people and portraits in the future and I am working on a little bit bigger project right now which I am super excited about, which I will tell you guys about soon.

   Also go and check out Emmas and Jennys blog they are both really lovely and you can also find a couple more pictures from our shoots and also check out Alecs soundcloud for some good music.
 
   Tell me what you think about the pictures and if you want to go out and shoot or know anyone who wants to, let me know!
