I'm back after almost two years of Flickr hiatus! I recently bought new camera (Canon PowerShot SX10IS) and it definitely has a learning curve before I'll master it. I'm also still using my trusty old one (Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T5) .

Just like when I bought my first camera (2006) that opened a whole new world to me, the new camera has given me opportunity to see yet from a different points of view and I am waiting with curiosity where it leads me, what kinds of images I will capture and what kinds of paths travel with it.

I love macros, flowers, bright colours, and things I wouldn't have noticed without camera and/or photo manipulating program (GIMP at the moment). I am trying to widen my repertory to other areas of photography (other than bright flower macros), so be prepared to see some experiments as well :)

I'm kind of old fashioned because I love beauty and aesthetics. I like photos that bring me joy. That brighten my day.
I'm not too old fashioned though: I do use some manipulation in many of my pictures, you'll see both completely natural and manipulated photos in my photostream. I always try to remember to type down when the photo is natural and when edited. I also try to tell what I have done but it's bit difficult because my a) GIMP has a Finnish language installed and b) bad memory. :)


Thanks for my father, Digikuva and my sister, Painter of Horizon who introduced me to Flickr and inspired me to buy my first camera :)
Also many thank to Siava who inspired me to come back to Flickr with her beautiful, elaborate and versatile photography!

And huge thank you to ALL Flickr members whose work is inspiring me every day to say the least! Take a look at my Faves to see why!
