A Postcard from Lahti #3

in photography •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hello!

I tried Steepshot, after an advice from @jbn.

Sadly I'm not quite as thrilled about it as a photo sharing service as I could have been. Mainly because I can't give you guys the option of getting the full-sized image, nor can I choose a license by which to publish the images with.

So I'll be using Flickr as a server for my camera photos, for now at least. I can't install Steepshot on my phone since Google Play stopped working on my Jolla, again. But whenever I post something from my tablet, I'll be sharing it on Steepshot. Now I'm not sure if I will be doing it on the @gamer00 or @ambyr00 account, but I guess that'll sort it self out in the future. I've been meaning to use @ambyr00 as a micro-blog, but haven't really done that either... so "maybe" is all I can say on all this at this point. ;)


Ski jumping hills of Lahti

Camera body: Canon EOS 550D
Lens: EF 75-300mm ƒ/4-5.6
Focal length: 200mm
Aperture: ƒ/5.0
Exposure: 1/320 s
ISO: Dual-ISO 100+200

Here's what I wrote on Steepshot

Took this photo Yesterday evening. This landmark, or rather these landmarks, are the ski jumping hills of Lahti. Ours is a sporting town, so this landmark is a genuine testament to our culture of athletics and especially winter sports.

I hope you like the shot! :)

Ootko Lahest?

Jep, monen mutkan kautta. Eli en ihan paljasjalkainen lahtelainen, mutta onhan täällä tullut asuttua yhteensä joku 13 vuotta. :)

Itse taidat olla, Lahest?

Jaahas! Joo kyllä näin on! Paljas jalkanen valitettavasti...

I like it, it seems one of those movie scenes where they show you where the protagonists will arrive

XD

Btw how high is the jump track?

amazing place. you can visit my homeland of god blessing beauty>>>>>>>>>2-min.jpg

When it comes to doing things I've been meaning too, I'm in the "maybe" camp right along with you mate.

Do you participate in ski jumping?

If he does he has never told me. Ski jumping is a small sport. It is not for the faint of heart.

really a good picture .. keep it up

wonderful sunset of the day @gamer00

Amazing shot from a great place...Thanks for the share with us..

Great shots @gamer00 what camera did you use to get the shots on the nature photo? Incredible scenery, colours and very well composed keep up the great work!

Very nice shoot make me want to come and visit in Lahti some day

This looks incredible photo. The colour and the cool climate makes this photo look amazing.

Was this taken on Mustakallionmäki? Like the framing in this one (it's one of the things that I'm trying to get a handle on myself). How did you process this? It's a great photo.

very nice picture

Im really enjoying your postcard collections :D, colorful stuff :D xx

Hadn't heard of ski jumping before.
An Olympic sport, what?
it's like I'm living in a forest.
This sport would be thrilling if you knew your way around it.

Lovely rosy sky!

I have not tried Steepshot yet. I would like to find a site that runs on the Steem blockchain, but allows us to micro-blog and decide which of those posts go onto our Sttemit wall. IOW where one could put up a bunch of pics throughout the day like Instagram but where not ever one HAD to hit our Steemit wall.

Well yes keep this account for all the things necessaary while the @ambyr00 account will suit for micro blogging !

Ski Jumping, I used to watch it regularly on the sports channel.
It was long ago though, don't even remember when was the last time I watched TV.

I so rarely see the object further away being on focus in photography rather than the object close by. It is quite the nice effect! (I may sound really ignorant.. but my knowledge of photography is simply of someone enjoying it )

Excellent... photography..... very crafty looking .... thanks for sharing this beautiful sunset...

Great photo with bewildering impact! I didn't know what those 'Japanese looking arch' were for until I read the caption! Very high ski jumps!
I would have a heart attack if I had to be standing alone at the top of that thing! And the athletes have to stand there and slide down very quickly for the flying experience! They are very brave!
So, most people there are not afraid of height then!

Cheers.

Good shot

I always try to find sunset shots on steemit because I want to get an idea that which position is good to take such awesome shots. I also doing photography but I always failed to capture such beautiful scenery around me. You shot is quite good to peek at. STEEM ON!

I was one of the few who already saw this. And btw does using Steepshot help in any way compared to just regularly uploading a picture to Steemit? What are the benefits?

Don't know much about licencing and copyrights of photos. What you wrote might helps the newbies as they can also take the same route. Flickr used to be the leading photo-sharing site but instagram and then Pinterest replaced it. The photo is good.

@gamer00,
Yeah this is amazing! Sunset, dark and orange color mix up and I am little confused to understand what was that? Is that a building?
Great photography friend! You are capturing great scnery awesomely!

Cheers~

Wow.. It's a very nice photo you shot. You were just far away. I wanted to see a clearer and bigger picture so I downloaded the photo to see and also paste here for other people that might want to see too.

Image was gotten from Fis-ski

I like that photo a lot it's does look like a truly postcard such stunning view and 3 track have you ever think to use one, the smallest one maybe?

I use steepshot. It is cool. It makes me active on the steem blockchain whenever I get too occupied to create science post. Which I already limited to once a week. There is also zappl as well

thanks for the new blog. that is great and nice photography.
