Departure. Savvaļa, Latvia, August 2026. Happy how this turned; though you need to be able to zoom in and back out to truly appreciate - as in to walk inside the picture - so I'm posting it as series. :) So kind of trying to escape the two-dimensionality of a […] [Original post on gram.social]

View from under a roof of a building, a new wooden architectural creation on top of stone ruin of an old farmhouse. From an opening between stone wall and roof reaching to ground, one can see to the yard where there is a car and people packing the car to leave.

The same, but closer to yard, now only mostly outer wall and the yard.

Same, but now the building not in image anymore. A car, leaving people, some meadow and forest behind them, branches framing from top corners.

I like this version. So much I post it here, though that was not the point. (Just wanted something that could make a desktop pic.) #plantcity #photography

White cherry flowers opening on a thin branch of a small cherry tree. The colours of the image are very luminous, which makes an appearance of slightly hazy white wash over everything.

Happy (slightly belated) spring equinox! A few feral cherry trees are dispersed among other trees at this spot that's in Wedding, Berlin. #equinox #spring #earlybloomer #plantcity

Let's say this is the last winter photo for now – next maybe spring flowers. :D Lifting water from the lake with a piece of pipe and a piston made from a plastic bottle bottom. Requires only small hole in the ice, saving lot of work. Does not allow swimming […] [Original post on gram.social]

A frozen lake, some snow on the ice, forest seen on opposite shore, cloudy sky. In the centre is a person crouching on the ice, lifting water from under the ice using a piece of plastic pipe. Water flows into a blue bucket.

Suncloud over Korpijärvi. Early January, Finland. My girlfriend actually wanted this photo; I was sceptical it was worth even trying. Result is surprisingly ok – but I would say I still failed to recreate the original athmosphere; icy-reflective over the lake […] [Original post on gram.social]

Frozen lake in bottom quarter, then partly snow-covered forest, top half is sky covered with high cloud, the sun shining through the cloud veil on the right hand side. Details on the left include a pier and a few small buildings.

Back to first two days of 2021. This is definitely lofi art. :D Modest technical quality largely because the photos are taken on a bad mobile phone. Special feature is the clear magenta shift in the middle of the picture. Yet, I feel, the mood in both pictures […] [Original post on gram.social]

Snow covered boreal forest. A person is standing on the right-hand side of the photo, back diagonally to the camera, wearing long brown winter coat and long hair covering the head from view. They seem to be looking at something, yet there is nothing else than snow and trees - except directly in front of the person is a band where the colour of air seems shifted to magenta.

Snow-covered boreal forest. A picture somewhat tilted as if carelessly or hastily shot. Foreground right there is a thicker pine trunk, branches close to camera. Behind them a person is partly in the image, as if coming to view from behind the trees. They are wearing long winter coat but no hat.

Sixth day of 2026. Been in this place (in Finland) many times at the beginning of the year, but this time in best company. :) (Taken with Eos M.) #forest #snow #winter #finland

A person crouching in a snowy forest. Background is snow-covered boreal forest. Mostly small coniferous trees, branches are covered in snow. Light is blue hue, and the ground is sloping somewhat down right. Foreground left a woman is crouching on snow-covered ground. She is wearing a puffy wooly jacket of orange colour. Her face is framed first by dark brown hair, then a hood of grey-blue pullover, and finally big yellow scarf, of neonish hue, wrapping the head in an egg-like shape. Her gaze is towards right outside of the image, face calm and open, perhaps curious look.

Taken on the last day of year 2023, in Finland. (Perhaps to be followed by something from this year in same place.) #winter #forest #finland #lenseflare

A snowy boreal forest, picture taken on a hillside. Foreground is mostly filled with snow-covered coniferous trees, a frozen lake can also be seen through an opening to downhill on the right. The low-hanging sun sends its beams towards the photographer through a narrow opening on the left, producing some lense flare.

Sometimes not removing all the colour tones from black and white film scan can be beautiful. It does also make a picture with lot of little shape stuff – like any photo of a forest, basically – bit more readable for the human eye. Reminding myself not to overdo […] [Original post on gram.social]

A deep forestry machine trail through a dense forest. The trail is flooded with water, giving it bit the appearance of a large ditch or little stream. Grassy growth on the bank of the trail is dense, visible trees are mostly young leafy trees. A part of the water surface is reflecting the forest. Shadow areas of the photo have a deep blueish green tone to them, highlights a subtle broken rosy hue.

The art of the accidental – third and, for now, the last post I am not fully sure if this 35mm film frame was exposed just twice or three times. Moreover, the film sat on my shelf in total probably six years before getting developed a few months ago – which made […] [Original post on gram.social]

Layered photo with several exposures of the same film negative. Most dominant in the picture is four persons standing on wet-land ground next to a small lake. One of them is lifting up an unindentifiable dark object from the shore line. Other exposures add vague shapes, including a table lamp inside one person, and a window in the sky. The tones are washed out, mostly pale green, cyan sky, and some magenta glow here and there.

Overlay of three different photos shot on the same negative. In foreground there is a woman facing right, standing perhaps on a roadside, in summer clothing. In background there is a shot at some grassy plants or a meadow, producing a leafy layer in most of the picture. In the bottom one can see there was a third exposure too, which seems to have been of a forest, but not much is visible from that photo. The tones are pastel, the background is a mix of pale green and sepia. The human is close to realistically coloured, but in washed out tones.

The art of the accidental! This film frame was exposed I think three times. Moreover, the film sat on my shelf in total probably five to six years before getting developed a few months ago. Sounds like an unusable mess – which some of it also was, but there are […] [Original post on gram.social]

Overlay of three different photos shot on the same negative. In foreground there is a woman looking at the camera and smiling, standing perhaps on a roadside, in summer clothing. Background there is, firstly, a landscape in 90 degree angle: sky is on the the right edge of the image. There is an edge of a forest, and possibly a meadow or wetland in front of it, but details are hard to tell. Secondly, a shot at some grassy plants or a meadow is underlying everything, producing a leafy layer everywhere in the picture. The tones are pastel, the background is a mix of pale green and sepia. The human is close to realistically coloured, but in washed out tones.

A little selfie meanwhile I try to find time for more film or other more 'serious' photo series. :) I hurt my ankle a bit the other day while doing bike courier work. Moments when it's especially nice to have a window to sit on. Told myself already a while ago […] [Original post on gram.social]

A person sitting on an open window, mostly seen from the back from inside the room. On the yard a tree with yellow leaves is visible, and on the window, which opens towards inside of the room, a reflection of another tree branch and the wall of an opposing building.

Alright, so how about this photographic comparison? Above, taken by a relatively new smart phone model, HDR-function, I didn't do anything to it, but the phone's default algorithm stuff probably did a lot of things. Below, taken by old Pentax film camera. Film […] [Original post on gram.social]

Two fotos that are almost the same. Above in colour, below in black and white. The colour photo is more sharply drawn thourghout the depth of it, black and white has more grainy quality and bokeh.

In middle bare feet of a human, resting on ground covered by moss-like lichen. A few twigs also partly covered by lichen are present. In background other undergrowth of a forest.

This will be my first contribution to #lichensubscribe . :) No, it's not a macro-lense close-up on lichen – but lichen does occupy the largest area of the image. :) Hillside forest in Finland, the lichen in question i think is most likely Clanedonia arbuscula – abundant in large part of Finland.

Savvaļa, Latvia. The base. Savvaļa is an artist-run environmental art project – a beautiful and magical place that I will surely post more pictures from later on. I'm here now also for advice. This is where I have progressed with my project to learn DSLR […] [Original post on gram.social]

Black and white photo, with bit of film edge showing. In middle a building, mostly showing a plank-built slope roof running down almost to the ground. Foreground is a meadow, in background there is a forest.

Autumn equinox in Rehberge park in Berlin, third and last, for now, post. With monochrome developing, lense flare fascination, and a bit of close-up. I love the interplay of celestial bodies, plant life and death, technological artefacts – and if you look […] [Original post on gram.social]

Withering, dry, grassy plants on a meadow, brightly reflecting sunlight from last moments of direct sunlight on autumn equinox evening. Photo was developed to monochrome colouring, and in the foreground there is significant lense flare.

Horseweed (Erigeron canadensis) in backlight with lense flare.

Autumn equinox in Rehberge park in Berlin. (post 1) The most brightly reflecting ones are alyssum (harmio, Berteroa incana). Others include at least horseweed (Erigeron canadensis) and blueweed (Natternkopf, Echium vulgare). Not easy to recognise everything in […] [Original post on gram.social]

Like a memory of a long-lost time - a magical time. Just today started to experiment and learn working with damaged negatives. Never digitised any film and I have only shitty tools. Yet, I kinda like how some of it turned out. Guess just got lucky? #lofiartist

Woke up in a forest on Easter day. Last pic: we thought it was appropriate to pay a tribute to the wild boars.

Forest with morning light from behind trees.

Forest with fallen tree trunk with moss in foreground.

An apple on a stick, dead leaves cover the ground. In background a fallen tree trunk covered with moss.
