A few weeks ago while shooting this image, we came up with the idea of creating an extreme panorama of the view overlooking Salmisaari, Ruoholahti and Jätkäsaari. We shot 9 horizontal images with the 90mm TS-E and stitched the whole thing together to create a massive 32000 px panorama, which would create an almost 3m wide photo quality print at 300dpi. We uploaded a 10000 px jpg for you to get an idea of the depth and quality. Just click on the link below and enjoy:)

High-res version

Here’s two images of prison cells. One is from the quite recently renovated Helsingin Oikeustalo. The other is from Best Western Katajanokka (former prison turned into a hotel) where on of the old prison cells has been kept in original shape. For more images of both buildings click shop.kuvio.com. I really don’t know which one I would prefer, but have a good weekend and stay out of jail :)

The latest issue (11/2011) of Taide & Design has a 10 page feature of Pyhän Laurin Kappeli. The layout is very nice, it’s written by Tarja Nurmi and includes a set of our exterior images! Download the full article here (pdf-file in Finnish): TD11_Pyhä_LauriV2_low

Last night we shot a few more images of the chapel for Avanto Architects aiming to capture the warm and glowing interior in contrast with the cold blue sky. Fun but freezing… :)

Yesterday afternoon we continued shooting Crusellin silta in Ruoholahti. This image is taken from the opposite shore (Lauttasaari) at a distance of roughly 600-700m. Using the miniature faking technique – full tilt with a 90mm TS-E lens @ f5.6 – we thought we’d make the bridge pop out from the background. Have a nice weekend everyone!

Window Washer

We were shooting exterior images for a client a sunny October day and noticed a window washer working on a building nearby. Couldn’t resist the temptation and this is what came out of it. Enjoy, everyone and have a nice weekend!
