Hello!

There's something very gratifying when almost all the photos you shot one night are fit for pressing as postcards as soon as you get them off your camera.

After editing, I had a difficult time choosing which one of the best three I should showcase in my OPED project. All of them are of different landmarks visible from the Mustakallio ("Blackrock" Hill).

A Radio Mast in the distance

Camera body: Canon EOS 550D
Lens: EF 75-300mm ƒ/4-5.6
Focal length: 200mm
Aperture: ƒ/5.0
Exposure: 1/320 s
ISO: Dual-ISO 100+200

While I was there, I found some friendly people shooting the sunset over the city with their mobile phones, and an old chap walking a dog, whom I had a long friendly chat about photography, trees and fireworks.

I also saw some unbelievably cool looking houses. Not that i would have the nerve of shooting my camera at them. ;)

Anyway, I'll be making a short series of cataloging some of the landmarks in Lahti. This'll be my first post in that series. I know I have posted a few photos of the masts already, but there can never be enough of those I think. And I wasn't doing a series then so it'll be fitting to start with one of them now. I'll name the series "A Postcard from Lahti", and I'll post them with running numbers.

I'm not sure if I'll do them on daily bases or not, I'm already doing a daily photo anyway so I'll probably post them in whenever I can bases, but I'll do a list of the previous shots at the end of each so you'll have an easier task to watching them all later if you so wish.

I hope you liked today's OPED shot, I'll be back posting more photos soon! :)
