Happy Jazz Club named Storyville in Helsinki, probably the best known jazz venue in the city.

It has been the coldest day so far for me in Helsinki as the temperature reached -15°C. But from the freezing outside Storyville looked like a warm and cozy place. So I set up my tripod accross the street and captured the moment...

This HDR image is made of RAW originals, from -2 to +2 EV.

This simply adorable little blue house stands on the southeast corner of Senate Square, and can easily be recognised by its colour. This is Sederholm house, a branch of the Helsinki City Museum today. Dating from 1757, it is the oldest building in the city centre, and the oldest stone building in the whole of Helsinki.

I made this HDR version from 5 RAWs, each with different exposure. This really brought up the sky and more details to the side of the house. All together, it made it look like some imaginative house from an old Finnish story... :)

These light cubes are situated next to High Tech Center (HTC) in Ruoholahti district of Helsinki. Pretty nice effect they give when it's twilight time. To give it a bit more effect, I've done some post processing using HDR software.

These colourful light cubes are situated next to High Tech Center (HTC) in Ruoholahti district of Helsinki. Pretty nice effect they give when it's twilight time. In the distance you can also see Lauttasaari district of Helsinki.

To give it a little more interesting look, I've manipulated with HDR post processing using 5 RAWs.

Between two light cubes, a distant view to Lauttasaari district of Helsinki. These light cubes are next to High Tech Center (HTC) buildings and are made of glass walls, but the glass is broken into little pieces. Nice!

To give it a bit more effective look, HDR post processing was done with 5 differently exposed images.
