I was going to continue the “How I Move” series earlier, but the pandemic got in the way. But I think now is a good time to continue this project. For a first new pair of images I photographing Kari and his Triumph. If you want to join in the series there is more info...

How I Move – Kari

A bit of different style of images this time. These were taken in Vuorilampi, Kuopio, Finland. Great place for a walk in the forest and some photographs.

I wanted to test how Expresskeys EK-84 custom keyboard works as a photoshop macro keyboard. It was not as easy as I initially thought. I ended up writing some python, photoshop javascript, doing some woodworking and drawing a bunch of icons in Inkscape to get it where I wanted. All the code and files can...

I wanted to have an overhead pole over the work table, where I can hang things like safety equipment and painted stuff. I also added a simple camera mount there so I can take photos and video from the top-down perspective. 3MF files for the 3D printed parts can be downloaded here. They are made...

I already have cable relief for the camera and wanted to do something similar for the laptop.

I’m planning a new series now that summer is ending. Alongside that, I have some summer projects still going on. To get a break, I just wanted to take some photographs to get to the back of the camera.

Idea was to take summer portraits. I think I would need much more practise to take happy and colourful images. It’s just not my cup of tea.

I had couple of more images left from the photoshoot with my son. One, two, Freddy’s coming for you..

Freddy Portraits

This was a last minute idea when I was moving the chair out of the way. Why not not use it in one of the images to get some variety.

Welcome to my dream world

I first bought the Freddy Krueger glove to put it on the shelve. Then I thought that why not make a photo shoot out of it. To make an outfit complete, I needed to buy a couple of more things like the mask and the iconic shirt. My son promised to be Freddy, and I...

I broke the remote control port from my D800 years ago. For D850, I wanted a cable relief to keep my ports intact. For the GFX-50s, I wanted something similar too. It has the battery compartment in a weird place, and the only L-plate I could find that allows easy battery change was Arca-Swiss Classic...

I wanted to add an intro video to my youtube channel and therefore played with my photos in DaVinci resolve. It’s a very capable program which also means not the easiest one. I took my time and learned a lot more about making the animations, speed ramps, etc. and now have a couple of new...
