Basically just trying out some tricky low light shooting with improvised camera supports. A fence works as well as any tripod, it seems. Puts a bit constraint on the angles you can shoot from, though.

Another Red Boat
Spotted the real Fire Department boat today. Way more utilitarian than the previous one.

Red
First thought was that the fire brigade's got a new toy, but I guess not. Something's right about this, but somehow something's wrong too (apart from the ethics and stuff) The balance of the cabin is a bit off, perhaps.

Numbers
Notice the floor order of this elevator COP. Could it be the result of a late night hurried exhibit assembly? Got to ask the guys behind this next time I see them.
Habitare Plants
Seems the recent trends in interior design require about three times the apartment size from what we're inhabiting now. Good thing there were some more experimental stuff around too. Would have felt like a bit of a waste of time otherwise.
Habitare Bazaar
A departure from all the simplified Scandinavian design on display. A couple of Indian (or Pakistani, or Bangladeshi, or Nepali, or something) guys had brought a truckload of oriental carpets and done their best to make a bazaar stall out of the prefab.

Design Market @Kaapelitehdas
The famously under-advertised Helsinki Design Week is underway again, so we dropped by the annual Design Market at Kaapelitehdas to have a look. Mostly it was the usual "clever" jewelry, high-contrast prints, recycle design and obscure tiny fashion labels. However, finally there seems to be one or two serious brands rising up above the mass here. Walked out with a couple of good deals.

Stencil Skill
The whole stencil thing felt like there wasn't much new or variety to it for a long time. However, it seems that some people, like JussiTwoSeven, the artist behind this piece, have just kept the good stuff out of view.

Oh Behave
Porsche GT2 down in the harbour tonight. Street legal (barely), I guess. A bit of HDR thrown in too.

Blockparty
Blockparty, originally uploaded by Rollofunk.
The good people down in Punavuori threw a blockparty tonight. A bit of rain kept things cool, and the tunes were suitably street credible. Here's a bit of Uusi Fantasia wrapping up the party.

Retro
Among all these oh-so-trendy fixies and singlespeeds I must say I respect people who go all the way in the retro department. Classy paint job too.

Arto
The 14-45mm lens was put to test on the local trails. The light was fading fast, so some faster glass would have been nice, but the wide end of the zoom is pretty good length-wise. Wonder if Pana is planning a faster 14mm prime, as some people are speculating? The 8mm fisheye would have been good fun tonight too.

Go Big or Go Home
Someones private toy? Of course you can't park it anywhere you want, but why bother with smaller harbors anyway.
Lines and Reflections
Seams tell a lot about the design and manufacturing quality of any product. Porsche's got those seams pretty well handled.

Thunder!
A proper thunderstorm came in from the sea about an hour ago, and the worst seems to have passed. Still some lightning flashing further inland, and heavy rain.

The Hand
The lady in front of me on the flight back could be the reason I pick up Japanese studies for real again. I really want to learn how to express my feelings on slamming her backrest down on my knees as soon as the wheels left the ground at Osaka, and constantly stretching her arms over her head into my field of view, in a properly polite, yet adequately passive-agressive way so as to leave no question how much I hate people who can't consider their fellow passengers even one bit.
