Digitaalinen murros – The Digital Shift

Technical

Modern digital sensors have redefined what is technically possible in photography. Where film struggled with high ISO values and limited dynamic range, today’s cameras handle low light, deep shadows, and bright highlights with far greater efficiency. Improved pixel design, lower read noise, and advanced signal processing allow photographers to work comfortably in conditions that once required significant compromise. Combined with powerful RAW processing and modern noise-reduction tools, digital imaging provides access to tonal detail that film simply could not record.

Koskikara Läsäkoskella – White-throated Dipper at Läsäkoski

Local photography trips

A late-November field trip to Läsäkoski turned into my first real encounter with the White-throated Dipper. During a year-long nature photography course, I focused on capturing this remarkable bird of northern streams as it dove, foraged and posed calmly along the rapids. The experience left me with both solid photos and a memorable moment in the field.

Uusi suunta: katse kohti tähtiä – A New Direction: Eyes Toward the Stars

Astrophotography

I’ve taken a new turn in my photography — this time upward, toward the stars. After years of chasing light in forests and wetlands, I’ve stepped into the world of astrophotography with a Sky-Watcher HEQ5 Pro mount. Photographing the Moon, Andromeda, and a few comets has shown me how challenging it is to capture the night sky with just a fixed tripod. Now, with a tracking mount and plenty to learn, I’m starting from scratch — but that’s exactly what makes it exciting.
