Strobist info: one FL50r shot to the background below.

The red color comes from Carmine (Food Additive E120), which is produced from dried little insects like cochineal scale. Yum yum. You can find this in Campari and candies.

You can read more about the Carmine in food from my other hobby project ekoodit.fi into which I try to collect information about Food Additives mostly in Finnish and partially in English.

You know the feeling ;-)

Better on black

Strobist info: One FL50r shot from under the table to the background, other one coming bare from the left.

The bigger and darker, the better, so please view it against black or press letter L.

Fifth photo of the Lux'12 meet in Helsinki 6.1.2012. I was the guy with monopod and broken Olympus objective.

Basically after taking this photo my Oly ZD 12-60 F2.8-4.0 front lens popped of with the lens hood and I had to drop the lens to my work place. I sent the lens yesterday to Oly repair. The problem seems to be in it's construction and others in Flickr and elsewhere have told same kind of failings. Let's see if Oly will repair this without a bill of 160 euros... At least I would be impressed if they really took the responsibility of their product after the official two year warranty time.

I've been using this lens for four years (my first non-kit objective <3) and I love it still. It's great overall lens. It has good IQ, almost fast enough and it's quite small for that focal length and IQ. The effective focal length is in 35mm terms 24-120mm. Fills 85-95% of basic photography needs.

It's always fun to shoot with other fellow photographers. We're hoping there would be more Flickr-meetings in Helsinki-area in near-future, so please drop comment or mail if you're interested.

Thanks to all attendees and organizer!

More details can be seen from the bigger view. It seems that Flickr's photo scaling (or the JPEG standard itself) drops a lot of details from the darker end of the photo.

Sama kotimaisella:
Kokoonnuttiin sanan saavuttaneiden flickriläisten kesken eilenillalla Lux12 puitteissa Kiasman eteen ja kuvattiin hyvä tovi ja puhuttiin valokuvauksesta. Kimppakuvaaminen oli sen verran hauskaa, että toivottavasti saataisiin uusi Flickr-miitti pystyyn kevään mittaa ja jos mahdollista, vielä isommalla poppoolla. Jos kiinnostaa, laita postia tai kommenttia, niin yritetään infota kun asioita tapahtuu =)

Kiitokset osallistujille ja järjestäjille
