Early Evening Shots At The Harbour

in #photography5 years ago (edited)

Ville told me he couldn't make it at five for go club at the pub, so I made use of the spare time by shooting a series of pics at the harbour. The sun had set about half an hour earlier and the streetlights were lit. A good time for photography. It's a bit hard to create simple compositions as there are distractions wherever you point the camera. But at least the exposures were acceptable practically straight out of the camera. Only the old railway station had lights that were all too bright which required adjusting the highlights in that one. I think I need to figure out how to do exposure bracketing in this camera.

Bit too short an exposure time in this one. My hand is steady enough and the Vibration Reduction is good enough on this lens to go up to 1/15 without significant camera shake while holding the camera in hand.

This is where the go club often meets in the summer. The idea feels so alien at the moment.

That's a pretty long ship.

Partyboat! That's actually a sauna raft in the summer.

The district of Niemi. That's how it looked like to the naked eye.

This is where the highlights had to be adjusted. The image looked way too bright on the left. It's still too bright. Any tips as to how to handle that?

There is an ice cream bar and cafeteria in this old storage building.

Excellent photos, but that contrast of blue was great.
I commented to you my youngest daughter of 8 years was right next to me when I saw the pictures and when she saw the pictures she told me: Dad looks like the frozen movie. I told him that they are some pictures that a friend took in another country.

Lol.I take it most of the places are seasonal. Thought sauna would be good in winter at least. Party boat could still be used ,moored in the harbor surely.

Seasonal indeed. You know, rolling naked in the snow to cool down after sauna is done by some people. There is no shortage of snow as you can see. But there is no shortage of passers by, either! LOL
