I was visiting London around the New Year. It was raining almost every day while I was there, but luckily when I went to see the London City Hall and Tower Bridge the sky (almost) cleared a little bit. It was New Years day so luckily there was not many people around to mess up my pictures too badly

This picture was taken with my new travel toy Olympus E-P2 & M.Zuiko 9-18mm lens & VF-2 Electronic Viewfinder

A weird industrial tower with some star trails. Trails combined from 60x 30 second exposures, so don't pay too much attention to the Exif data telling you it's a 30 sec exposure. When all the exposures combined it sums up to 30 minutes.

I also used a huge Manfrotto stand to be able to take the picture from about 2,5 meters high for a perspective I wanted. It was not too easy to get the composition right from that position in the darkness .

If you look closely you can even see a littele shooting star there on the left side of the tower. =)

Got myself a new toy, Olympus E-P2 Special Edition and some nice vintage lenses for it like this Canon FD 50mm f/1.4

Here's a photo I took while ago at the Yyteri beach in Pori, Finland. It was still pretty warm back then, but now I have to accept the fact that the summer is over =/

I wanted to play with the shadows since the setting sun was making them reaaally long and stretchy

A little "island" on a little lake =)
This is a view straigth from the terrace of my summer cabin =)

Long exposure with flash to light up the island
