So cool!!! Me like it a lot! They
turned on the lights probably few weeks ago already, at least on the
Aleksanteri street which is the commercial shopping street in
Helsinki. They have A-letter hanging above the road. Stockmann, the
oldest shopping mall in Finland, is also pimped up with lights,
glitter, shine and sparkle.
I'm crossing the street many times and
6-7 days a week because it's on my way to work and back home. So yesterday I've
decided to photograph the hanging light system. When I left work in
the dark (at the moment it gets dark around 5-6pm) to capture
something nice. It was raining a bit before I finished the day. All
the roads were wet. Love it! The best conditions to get awesome
street photos during the dark/ night because the roads reflect back
all the light and it's just beautiful. Although all the moist and
rain is not healthy for the camera but it wasn't raining during my
action time so shoot shoot shoot!
I guess it was my first time I was
shooting street light in the dark with my new camera Nikon D800 which
I've got this summer. A while ago I shot Heidi for her blog but
that's different. I kind of feel that city lights is sort of
different genre for me which I enjoy a lot! You can see my city light
collection on my website.
I must say the camera totally rocked.
Nice image quality, killer colors, pure pleasure. And with a tiny
re-touch they will be also rocking my blog!
The weird thing with red is that I
totally hate it. At least this is how I used to think before. But red
lights on Stockman are so awesome and effective. The yellowish lights
give sort of luxury feeling what Stockmann branding is all about.
I don't own any red clothes and it's
not my fav color. I don't know why I feel that way. And then again I
will do red and blue contrast re-touch on my photography.
Maybe it's time for me to admit that
deep inside I like red??
NEVER!
Thanks & Ciao
