Ho ho!

I'm just glad because the cough didn't keep me awake last night anymore. It's back to swimming this weekend for sure!

This is a bit of experimentation, sparked by opportunity. The picture is founded on a photograph, taken of tree branches in strong wind with slow shutter speed, which was then manipulated (colour, contrast). I was actually trying to capture the violent movement of the branches in the wind, but the result lended itself better for a painting-like autumn picture. In any case I' fairly pleased.

This past monday, I just knew I had to go to Suomenlinna for photography. It always turns out great when I have such a strong feeling. Hopefully there'll be some more sunny days before the autumn colours are gone. I need to go back to Suomenlinna, because my visit on monday was cut a bit short because I had other things to do.

A lucky shot, with that bird there, coming back from Suomenlinna.

I've mainly been doing final corrections to my article so I can send it off later this week, but I also added plenty of pictures to my photo site. Next week there's another funding application to write but I'll think about that next week.
