digikuva's photostream |
I live a busy life, no time and lots of work. So that leaves me with little time to comment on your photos...
I'm a over 60 year old software designer and an amateur in photography. I don't speak or write in English very well; my native language is Finnish.
My mission is by using my camera show things the way I see them. Most of the time my photos include small subjects; small things surprise me all the time.
I use PhotoShop to improve my photos, mostly to check the contrast, sharpness, and saturation. Sometimes I like to even do some heavy manipulating and tricks.
I like to fix my photos so that they look the same as when I take them. As you know, the camera doesn’t always capture things the same way as an eye does. Sometimes I remove disturbing elements in a photo, which then I mark with 'heavy Photoshoped photos' or 'manipulated' tags and description.
30 years ago I quit photographing after a 5 year photoholic period. Bask then I used a film camera of course. When our boy Joona was born on 23.8.2004 we decided to buy a digital camera. That was a big mistake because now I’m a photoholic again.
Thank you dzadnip for help me with English text!

"Heikki is one of the most prolific and creative photographers I've met on flickr. He takes on most any subject with his lens and creates wondrously colorful images.
He seems genuinely fascinated with the world around him, from the smallest household item to the grand architecture of his home town.
I always look forward to seeing his next creation, and every day he produces several!"30th November, 2005

Kevin Day says:
"Like so many photographers here in Flickr Heikki has a wonderful eye to spot the mundane and make it beautiful, but what makes him stand out is his warmth and generosity in the praise and encouragement he gives to so many others. He was one of my first contacts and quite possibly one of my best discoveries on Flickr... oh and I love and admire his mistakes in English (I know he will not mind me saying that because of his nature)"

"digikuva is one of the most creative people i've seen on flickr. his unique viewpoint gives everyone great insight into his everyday life. not only that, but via his pictures he's a wonderful ambassador for finland!
he is prolific but that doesn't mean his pictures are generic or hackneyed. he manages to keep them fresh and intriguing--his passion for photography shines through."30th June, 2005

scheiro says:
"I love the photos carried out by Digikuva because this artist has a perfect command of the forms, of the lines always very pure which are reinforced by bright colors.
My friend Digikuva is a Master in art to photograph the objects of the daily, these objects which accompany us in our everyday life although we do not pay often attention to them.
For me, Digivuka gives us to see things which are close for us but which would not be revealed to us without his excellent eye! And thanks to him these objects take life and become splendid.
Moreover Digikuva can speak with the flowers and all that there is of beautiful in our world."29th June, 2005
