Beautiful pictures Jelena! Did you buy a new camera?
Beautiful pictures Jelena! Did you buy a new camera?
Thanks tsa!
I haven’t bought a camera yet. I’m borrowing an Olympus E-450 from a friend who’s not using it much. This way I’ll be able to learn and practise before deciding where to put my money. A good camera is expensive imo and I woudn’t want to get anything I might not like in the long run.
It’s a lot to learn and I’m mostly totally confused, but I’m eager to learn and I’m enjoying myself.

(Edit: Well, the links don’t work because this damn new forum messes the code in them (the changes the space code into an actual space) but at least the pics work)
Pictures from my walk on Sunday. At this place I thought it’d be a perfect setting for a Skyrim (fan) film I’ve been here countless times, but rarely on winter, especially with such deep snow. Coming from the bottom:
That’s a bear statue covered in snow in that “cave”. The stairway leads up above to the cliff with 200-300 steps (I can’t remember how much anymore).
Another pic (with one of the little landings, too)
The stairs are of course completely covered in snow, which made it an interesting hike up there (at the steepest parts you basically had to drag yourself by the rail, but it was kinda fun)
The view from above:
And to top the whole Skyrim feel, there’s also this tower at the top:
And there’s a couple more in the gallery. The park is definitely one of my favorite places… anywhere, really
Beautiful with all those pine trees! I have no idea about the game you’re talking about, but it’s always a lot of fun to visit places that resemble places in games. Can you give a Google Maps link that shows where it is? Google has an option to make it a short link. Maybe that works.
Wow.
I used to visit places like that. Then I took an arrow in the knee…

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka
Oww that must hurt! One of the many nurses I’ve seen in my life tried four times to get something out of my knee with a thick needle to find out whether I had gout or not. You can really be in your own world of pain. Nothing else exists for you then. Not something I’d recommend .

Hehe. There’s nothing wrong with my knee. You just missed a Skyrim reference…

Haha, we can see you’ve not heard about Skyrim But Skyrim, as in Elder Scrolls V - one of the biggest, most spoken about games of 2012 (well, it was released 11/11/11). The “arrow in the knee” jokes were everywhere (it’s a comment in the game)... The ad campaign was so massive, we even had ads for it in trams here in Helsinki.
Anyway, here’s a link:

Hope it works
If it opens in that picture like it does for me, as you well know you can get the map bigger from the tiny map preview in the bottom corner. And, you know, to get an idea where you are zoom out Haha, yay for overexplaining… Anyway, no Street View in the immediate vicinity.
(Edit): Oh, and of course, the town is Hämeenlinna, my home town. I’ve shown pictures before, too. If anyone remembers the castle by the river for example.

The pictures are beautiful. I’ll check out the other you linked to later on. Just wanted to say that I admire your skills as a photographer.

Oh my, thank you so much!
Oh, and for the other pictures, the links don’t work because the forum code changes the % 20 in the link into a space, which of course breaks the link. So, in fact here:
http://i627.photobucket.com/albums/tt356/Paunci/AG resized
Copy that, and into the part with the space, put % and then 20 (without any spaces, of course) and it should work.
The tower is certainly Skyrim worthy.
I need somwhere to store all my Cabbages.
I’m going to play it now and listen to some malufenix
An adventure game is nothing more than a good story set with engaging puzzles that fit seamlessly in with the story and the characters, and looks and sounds beautiful.

Some pictures from last weekend when I tried out my new camera for the first time. It’s a Sony Alpha 37. All the pictures are cropped due to the stupid forum. *pouts*

Wow, amazing colours and contrast!
That’s one hell of a new toy you got there!

Nice pics Jelena! I would put the trees a bit to the side next time though. In that way you can see what is behind the trees.
You can resize the pics with a photoeditor like The Gimp. It runs on all platforms, takes some getting used to but it’s quite simple to adjust the colors, brightness and contrast with it, as well as resize pictures. If you want I can help you with it.
This is what the pics look like when you can see the entire picture:
But I really would like to be able to post bigger versions. I guess I can resize the pictures in Photofiltre but it annoys me that I need to do that. In the ‘old forum’ it worked without having to resize and adjust.
