Reflections of Indiana, Pohjois-Haaga

I liked the warm reflections of @Happycatmachine

Ground flowers, Pohjois-Haaga

Took the photo by shoving the camera into the flowers at the ground.. Am lucky something was in focus!

The framing of this was to get the line of five flowers with the centre one in focus. Luckily a beam of light lit the centre flower as well.

My favourite colours of all the Rhododendrons in the park

Interestingly I blew out this image on shooting it, but the effect was unexpected instead I managed to get an explosion of yellows and greens. I did have to adjust this in Lightroom to add a bit of the exposure back

I was lucky that the sunlight hit this tree in a way that it looks like the flowers are studio lit :)

Reflected Tree, Helsinki

The photo is really about the ghostly reflection of the tree in the old art-deco type window (hey I don't know my architecture but whatever). April 2018

The Whites of Senaatintori, Helsinki

The idea here was to try and overexpose as much of the white and the building as possible leaving behind the three photographers on the steps. The building and everything was to "ghost" from this perspective. Not sure I got it right, but I do like the photo :) April 2018

Prayer Candle, Helsinki

The story of this one short candle with the folded wax... it feels like the candle is disappearing into the holder. April 2018

Stairs, University of Helsinki

It's almost Escher-esque. I lit the photo into an almost bright sunlight to capture the bright pine wood in the building. April 2018.
