I first drove to a place close to the harbour to see if I could get nice long exposures of the harbour. It wasn't very dark, yet, and going down there to take the photos after skiing would've been begging to catch a cold. It was uncomfortably cold in a lights sports jacket and sports underwear. Putting up the tripod also took more time than expected because one of the extensible legs was stuck. Also, it was foggy, which I should've anticipated because it had got warmer in the past few days. When that happens, humidity in the warm air starts to condensate over the lake ice.

Anyway, here are the pics I took at blue hour.

ƒ/5.6 55.0 mm 1/40 400

DSC_0996

ƒ/8.0 55.0 mm 1/4 100

When you drop ISO from 400 to 100 and expose ten times longer, you get a somewhat better image. Not dramatically but still.

DSC_0997

ƒ/8.0 40.0 mm 1/4 100

This would be a nice shot at night.

DSC_0998_01

ƒ/8.0 40.0 mm 0.4 100

I'll be back some other day.

The trail was in pretty good condition. Not too many people, though. That's what always happens. When there are large puddles of water in the streets many people think that it must be like that in the forest, too. But that is not the case. The trail has been maintained for the whole winter and there is still a lot of snow in general.

I had parked my car close to the ski jumping tower and when I was driving down from the hill, I saw this.
