The photograph was taken on February 15th in Helsinki.

These photographs were taken in Helsinki on Monday evening, walking by the seaside towards Uspenski Cathedral.
I had a look at the Flickr stats, and since November 1st there have been over 120,000 views of the photographs. I thought the number of views would go down as the interest in the LX100 peters off, but the opposite seems to be the case. Of my top 20 photographs at Flickr, ranked by the all-time view count, 14 were taken with the LX100.
I'm not yet quite used to the look of photographs taken with the LX100. And there are surprises, most of them rather positive. I have tweaked the settings a bit. In the beginning I used the silent mode, but now I'm using the normal shutter, with the sounds turned off and autofocus lamp off. The shutter sound is rather silent, and pleasant to hear. Also, I set the nr to -5 in the film mode, which means that there is a little bit of more noise visible in the high-ISO photographs, but less noise reduction artifacts. I like it better this way.

On Monday I attended a dinner in Helsinki. It was rather dark, and wet, and thus perfect for taking photographs of ships. After the dinner I got a rather blurry feeling...

On November 11th I had meetings one after another from morning to late afternoon, and walked from one place to another in the center of Helsinki. It was a wet day, but that is good for the photographs.

I'm feeling, well, somewhat blurry, don't know which way to be. In fact it feels like a Friday, there has been so much going on already this week.
We got a little bit of snow today. I commuted by bicycle. In some places the road was slippery, but mostly it was quite all right.

When we left Stockholm on September 21st, thick clouds gathered on the sky. In the evening at sea there was thunder and lightning, but fortunately the wind stayed moderate, so the ship was quite stable. Quite a way to start the way back to Finland.

I'm feeling lazy, but I really should be getting some exercise today. It is sunny outside, and autumn colors are prominent.
These photographs were taken on September 20th on the cruise ship to Stockholm.

Yesterday I walked for two hours in forests and swamps, and it felt good, looking at the late autumn scenery. I didn't meet anyone while walking even though there were a couple of cars at the parking place. Half of the way I used a map and a compass to get where I wanted, not following paths.
I'm slowly going through photographs taken earlier. These were taken on the ship in the morning when arriving at Stockholm on September 20th.

Last week I got over eight hours of exercise, half of it during the weekend, walking in forests and swamps. This weeks looks good for commuting by bicycle, although it is getting colder.
I went ahead an pre-ordered the Panasonic LX100. It is not cheap, 1000 euros here in Finland, and I debated the wisdom of the purchase for quite some time. And now I might have time to regret it, as the camera will be shipped in late October or November. But I'm really missing the feeling of having a real camera in my hands while walking. In fact, it seems that I don't know what to do with my hands as if something has been cut away.
My first digital camera was Canon Digital IXUS 400, which cost well almost 600 euros. That camera broke when the lens cover got stuck. Then I had the Panasonic LX3 and the Panasonic LX5. And now I'm getting the new Panasonic, and I hope it will be as good in the hand as the LX3 and the LX5 were.

These photographs were taken on September 19th on M/S Gabriella, leaving Helsinki to Stockholm. I'm not really fond of cruise ships, having spent a lot of time on them, but this trip was fine, traveling together with the children.
It rained a lot during the night and in the morning, flooding the streets, and I got completely soaked when commuting by bicycle, so that the clothes were still somewhat wet when I rode back home. But it felt good nevertheless.

Yesterday I wrote that I didn't remember where the photograph was taken, that is, which lake in Nuuksio was shown in the photograph. Well, I forgot also that the photograph was taken with the Nokia E7, and it puts the location data into the photographs. So riddle solved: the photograph was taken at lake Iso Majaslampi.
Here you see two photographs taken on September 19th on the cruise ship M/S Gabriella from Helsinki to Stockholm. And the location can be seen at Flickr. I'm not quite sure whether I like the fact that the E7 puts this information into the photographs. A drawback may be that the battery runs out really fast when you take photographs with the phone.
