January, still no snow!

It's been a bleak December and January so far weatherwise. After a bout of flu finally managed to get out for a while yesterday and today to shoot a little. Installed the bundled Silkypix raw developer and shot everything in RAW. Need to develop a workflow as it's horribly slow going with no experience with the software. Happy with the results though...  

Girl at mall. 1/100, f/2.5, ISO1250.

Aura river in Turku. 1/40s, f/8, ISO1000.

Kakola prison, 1/170s, f/3.2, ISO1250.

Kakola prison. 1/45s, f/8, ISO1250.

The already closed Kakola prison definitely has that Arkham-vibe.The outside shots are only desaturated a little in Silkypix,  by the way. It's that bleak here at the moment!

Christmas 2013

Back to pics with X100, these were taken during Christmas in Helsinki and Espoo. 

Traditional Finnish Christmas food; yellow roe and creamy salads.

The family. Not the best point of view, but good example of auto white balance doing a great job with ambient mixed lighting and high ISO (3200) producing a clean jpg-image straight out of camera.

Even older; Bhutan and Tibet 1998-99

Scanned on a flat bed scanner from 35mm slides, originally shot with Nikon FA. Bear with the quality.
