Scoo's docs ^pro

Yours truly snapping away on one of the two summits of the fell Kesänki (Äkäslompolo, Kolari municipality) in Finnish Lapland. Will look for the shot I took (B&W ISO 100 Shanghai GP3 if I recall correctly). Photo by Mrs. Scoo during our vacation.

This young Barnacle goose doesn't bother with deep philosophical issues such as the question that goes with the ultimate answer and such, but rather ponders if a fallen maple leaf is edible or not... :)

The title says it all...

Today Roomeri and I went to the island Ruissalo (just off the coast outside the Turku harbour) in the hopes of grabbing some nice shots. Here he is caught snapping a Dornier Do 228 maritime patrol craft of the Finnish Border Guard (and actually not just…

Flags were flown half-staff all over the country today. The bell tower of the Cathedral of Turku in the middle. Shot from the Market Square of Turku. see the previous image

11+1 --- Shot this while waiting for a gust of wind to liven up flags flown half-staff on the Cathedral bridge in Turku (attempted to get the Cathedral in frame too, would have needed a boat for that to be really successful). It's the shadows of pedestr…

all sizes Went on Saturday to Halikko, Finland to meet up with Roomeri (his flickr page). The weather wasn't too nice, it didn't rain much in any case. Got to try out his 70-300 VR and Tokina 12-24 lenses while he tried my 70-200. This one is shot from…

The carcass of an earless/true seal pup (I'm guessing it's a Phoca vitulina, Common seal a.k.a. Harbour seal). My apologies if anyone is startled. Discover Various Artists!

A little splash of colour before an upcoming camera review + entire first roll as part of an competition.

These two policemen among with security guards kept onlookers away while the fire brigade cut down a storm-damaged tree in central Turku yesterday. I think their leather outfits are both cool in a way and also embarrasingly obsolete on the other hand. Su…

Or are there? :) Suomussalmi, Kainuu region (middle/north eastern Finland).

Ostrobothnia, Finland.

A ditch next to a field and a main road. See it large. Having been at a loss at what to upload to illustrate my vacation in July I chose one which represents Ostrobothnia, the region of Finland I'm native of. This is shot when the sun was setting over a…

It's a moon. Iso 200, f/11 or 16, 1/4000. Today's eclipse near its peak in Ostrobothnia, Finland. Was able to photograph it and observe it when hid behind intermittent cumulus clouds. Soon back from my vacation, plenty of images to process (my mother's…

A new-ish shot from the archives, shot in April 2008 (my backlog is substantial) during the ongoing public works along the Aura river in Turku. Plenty of things going on.

A disused mill on the northern Purmo å [small river] in Forsby, Pedersöre, Finland. These full (red-green-blue) colour separations are difficult. Had to tone down the red content (seems all my shots will be biased to red as I use a deep red filter plus a…

A sea eagle (a.k.a. white-tailed eagle) duelling an osprey. While being harrassed by the smaller osprey the sea eagle would invert itself inflight and use scare tactics with its claws. I missed some really great shots when they were close by as the autof…

Shot near the Halinen district of Turku. The building is used for drying fodder. The first and last roll of APX 400 in 120 format I'll probably ever will handle (re-branded it exists as Rollei retro and such). Would have expired 07/2008, got it for free…
