We did a fantasy/scifi themed photoshoot. I wanted to test some photoshop painted “light” backgrounds for couple of these. For the “Loki: Darkness” I painted (scifi) night background. Moon is real. I photographed it from our balcony years ago. Oh and the Tesseract was hand painted too in photoshop (little bit in Inkscape too).

DIY Photography: How I Built a Diy Gobo Projector for Under $30 Petapixel: How I Made a DIY Gobo Holder for Studio Strobes 3DPrint.com: 3D Printed GOBO Projector Holder and Adapter Made by Award-Winning Finnish Photographer
”The Duel” featured in “1x magazine – Do You See? Really? Do You? What Do You See?“.
DIY GOBO HOLDER I wanted a device that can throw light patterns onto a wall or a model. There are some commercially available but they are quite expensive and I this was only for occasional use. I thought that this is something that can be 3D printed. I bought Bowens mounting ring and cheap macro...
Fstoppers Photo of the Day: “Highlander – The Cave”.
It was a more sunny day than the weather forecast had promised. Luckily the forest had a lot of spruce trees that provided a lot of shadows. That forest is really close to where I live and near the Kuopio center too. It is nice to live near this kind of place. Those are ideal...
Juho asked if I could take couple of portraits in the same style as my son was photographed for his birthday. Well yes I can…
My son wanted some portraits for his birthday. We did couple of styles, one business like setup and one a bit more relaxed setup…
I have done some renovation to my “office”. It took some time but it is now somehow ready. I wanted to test how before/after images with slider would work so I could also see myself how big the change was. Cable management with rubber bands nailed to bottom of the table. Headphone stand (Ikea Grundtal...
Setups and edit from 2020 1st Half.
More images from “portrait sunday”. I just had to make couple with my usual style too. It just feels like coming home…
Weather is getting vastly better so these images are getting ready more slowly. I wanted to test new things so some edits are a bit different than my usual style.
We held a portrait Sunday with my wife. I had several files in the ideas folder for portraits and took a bunch of them under closer look. One of the ideas was to make couple of images for the “Today’s Heroes” theme. I’m pretty sure there are couple of ideas more that will end up...
Petapixel: How I Turned an E-cigarette Into a Tiny Smoke Machine for Photo Shoots DIY Photography: How I made a tiny smoke machine from an electric cigarette ISO1200: How to Make a Tiny DIY Smoke Machine
We have had this ugly air vent in our WC for years. I knew that when I get the 3D printer I have to do something to it. Since this is only a decorative piece and it does not have to protect anything and you can print pretty much any shape I was able to...
The Plan I have used an electric cigarette as a small smoke machine. My first version was bit and pieces glued together but that wasn’t very robust and broke. Now that I have a 3D printer I wanted to revisit this project and make it properly. Smokers can suck smoke to their lungs and blow...
