Dark woods

This I find quite successful in terms of how it uses the light and the strong darkness and the simple elements to create a mood - to my eyes a slightly ominous, "don't go into the woods" mood.

I neglected to mention that I got my first picture sold on Vastavalo, the Finnish photo bureau I'm a member of, on the weekend! Yay! Nothing major: it was one of the (work-related) images purchased for web usage, for someone's personal website. Also, it won't make me rich: the sale price is 30 euros, the photographer gets about 50%, then there's probably tax, so that leaves about 7 euros. But it's a start, a foot in the doorway so to speak! :-)

Night

Evening moods

Taken in a park close to my home sometime after 5 pm. I sure am glad I got the good tripod. No hope taking photos like these otherwise! Note: click on the pictures to view in larger size. The dark background of the blog makes dark pictures look a bit too... well, dark.

And now for some art

Here is an outdoors installation that I captured just a short while after the heavenly revelation of the rainbow. :-)
