On The Rocks

This was an opportunity to break out my reflectors and 24mm lens and be creative. I had the sun for the first half of the shoot but it disappeared behind clouds all too soon. And someone was in a patriotic mood this afternoon.

Four straight weeks of consistent rain has left the late Summer countryside verdant and flush with moss, mushrooms, and green grass.

The Ruuki – Forge.

I’ve just started to proof a shoot done in the area of Loviisa and RuotsinPyhtää. A beautiful, beautiful area encompossing 18th century smithies, sawmills, fortresses, and castles. And the location of some of the biggest sea battles in Europe (Imperial Czarist Russia vs Imperial Sweden) took place in the waterways in front of these areas. Pyhtää the town also has an interesting history in that it was split in half along the river Kymi from the Treaty of Turku in the 1700s. The forge and ironworks ended up on the Swedish owned side. The rest of the village on the Russian side.

I don’t think I’ll be getting into wildlife photography any time soon
And because I never want to be accused of not having a sense of humor, I had a little fun post processing a really boring shot of a squirrel on a rock (my personal stalker – he loves me!)

Stalked By The Rain!
July 1, 2008 | Filed Under Client | Leave a Comment
It rained on and off all during this shoot. All I can say that the rain always started just as we would step out of the car – it knew we were coming. This should give you a good idea of stalking rain!
But the light on rainy days is so wonderful!
