No end to the wetness (length of day: 6 h 8 min)

Once again, a wet day. Here are three photographs taken a bit after noon. Once again it was so dark it was difficult to take sharp photos handheld, typical exposures were 1/4 to 1/10 seconds at f/2.0 and ISO 100.

I have been reading books on photography, the other is about street photography and the other about life on the shores of Finland. Both are in Finnish: Tilannekuvauksen opas - Amatööristä akrobaatiksi by Jouko Leskelä and Itämeren rannalla - Valokuvaajan meriselityksiä by Markku Saiha. Both are excellent, but the first is more about photography and the second more about life.

#2 works great! And from my short trip to Helsinki in December 2002 or so, I know how hard those short days really are. I guess the hunger for an intensive red is triggered by this lack of warmth and light, too.
