Wintertime

Lamplight, originally uploaded by jiihaa.

Last weekend Finland shifted from summertime to wintertime. We get one extra hour of sleep, brighter mornings - but darker evenings. It is getting dark already at six, so there is little time for photography, even when the day is not clouded.

I took quite many shots of the children at play, but due to the scant light I had to use a long exposure, and motion blur was excessive. But a few of those photos succeeded. I also took some landscape photos, but didn't really have a lot of interest for it. I feel that this photo of a lamp post was best of the photos. The lamp had just been switched on and thus was very yellow.
