Taken on Dec 29 2019
My daughter and I came to Tampere for a few days. Stopped in Hämeenlinna for some photography.
That's a one of the busies railways in the country. The only thing I don't like about this part of the town. While I was about to begin shooting, the beams closed and a warning was given because a train was approaching. I tried to take a photo of it but my card was full. It was impossible to delete unneeded files quickly enough to get a shot of the freight train. Live and learn. :)
I'll be off to the go club in a minute. After that, I'll grab a few of long exposures in Tampere. Stay tuned.
Those photos looks amazing, the snow season really adds new dimension to the scenery.
Hämeenlinna is now added on my bucket list, places to visit
I cant wait for the rest of your photos
Can I ask, what camera do you use?

Thanks for your kind words.
My camera is a Nikon D3400, an entry level DSLR released in 2016. I couldn't find a better entry level model. I've been happy with it. Very low sensor noise even with relatively high ISO values.

I think I might need to enter the DSLR family. I will keep in mind the Nikon D3400 and put it on my wish-list.
For now I am still learning about iso and exposure and the moving parts of photography. I will wait till I am ready to invest in on an entry level DSLR.
Thanks for sharing :)

The main moving parts are the exposure variables: aperture (the f-number), ISO, exposure time. The aperture is a relative term because it's defined as the focal length divided by the aperture diameter. ISO is a relative measure of sensor sensitivity in digital cameras. Exposure time is the time the sensor (or film in film cameras) is kept exposed to light by opening the shutter.
The f-number is expressed as f/integer, for example, f/8. The smaller the denominator, the smaller the aperture relative to the focal length and the larger the depth of field, which means the range of distance from the camera in which objects look sharp. The smaller the f-number (or the larger the denominator), the less light goes into the camera. To compensate for that, you'll need a longer exposure time or more sensor sensitivity. The downside of a longer exposure time is that the longer it is the harder it is to keep the camera steady to minimize blur from camera shake. A tripod is used in low light to allow for longer exposure times. The downside of higher sensor sensitivity settings (higher ISO) is that it introduces more noise into the image. That's because the sensor will have to register smaller amounts of photons and in that case there will be more random noise both from the light source, and above all, the sensor itself. High-quality sensors can remain relatively error-free even at high ISO settings. In my opinion, the Nikon D3400 has a very high quality sensor for an entry level DSLR.

Thank you so so much for your explanation, really appreciate taking your time to help me understand the concept of good quality photography is all about .
Photography has always been an interest to me but never took it to the next level. I always had a point and shoot camera and always left it on automatic settings, so I never had a chance to explore the different settings
At the moment I am using DJ Osmo Pocket, its very basic. As I only have the ability to change the ISO and exposure. The problem with the Osmo pocket is the sensor is so small.
As soon as I get these concepts down pat, I will be considering buying Nikon D3400 to practice on.
Are you ready to let go of your Nikon D3400 and invest in a more advance camera? Are you eyeing out for a particular model?

I bought the Nikon about a year and a half ago. I'm not done exhausting its possibilities. Besides, the times we're living in are not the best for an investment in expensive camera gear. Also, unless the Nikon D3400 breaks, I consider the best way to upgrade my gear the be buying new lenses. I proper macro lens would be cool. Then I could do much of my photography at home.

Fair enough, good quality lenses make massive difference in the quality of the photos. Macro lens would be nice to take some really close ups of rain droplet on leafs, endless possibilities.
Yeah this is testing time for all of us, stay safe and take more awesome photos :)
BTW BTC and ETH have been doing great recently!
