Kukkolankoski Rapids is part of Tornionjoki (River Tornio) and it's 15km to north from Tornio. The rapids is 3500 meters long and height is 13,8 meters. The rapids area does not freeze totally even in the winter, when temperature can be sometimes close to -40C.
I took this picture from Sweden and the landscape behind the river is in Finland side.

Vinci | Android App - Tornio Old Church
This time I tested Android app called Vinci, which has lots of different kind of effects. Target of my photo was this time old Tornio church.
Place: Tornio, Finland
Photo: Tornio old church
Date: 7th of February, 2017
Camera: LG G2 mobile phone (Android)
Shot: 1/2000 sec. f/2.4 3.97mm ISO 50
Editing: Vinci
First the original shot before editing.
Here are few examples after using different kind of effects.
Effect #1. Here the photo looks immediately like drawing or painting.
Effect #2. This version is already more artistic.
Effect #3. Here the theme is blue.
Effect #4. In this one the colors are darker and feeling is more dramatic. I like this one.
At the moment there are lot of different kind of photo editing apps available for mobile phones. Most of the apps are very simple to use. Results after editing can be also very interesting.

Mika

Factory and Windmills
I took this photo two days ago, when was cold winter day. Sun was shining brightly, but temperature was about -17C. In this photo you see Outokumpu steel factory area and windmills.
Place: Tornio, Finland
Photo: Outokumpu steel factory and windmills
Date: 8th of February, 2017
Camera: LG G2 mobile phone
Editing: Cropping and sharpening.
Have to say the weather was quite chilly, because there was also some wind. Sunny doesn't mean always warm. At least not in North Europe in winter day.

Curvature
I have taken photos many, many times on Tornio old bridge, but I have never thought one thing before. The curvature of the bridge. If the photos have taken using mobile phone or DSLR with wide angle lens, the curvature is not visible. I took this photo using my zoom lens and the focal length was 250mm and the end result is very interesting.
Place: Tornio, Finland
Photo: Curvature
Date: 31st of January, 2017
Camera: Canon EOS 60D
Lens: Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS
Shot: 1/400 sec. f/6.3 250mm ISO 200
Editing: Cropping and sharpening
Sometimes photography and photos can surprise you and that's awesome!

Ready for the road - Porsche
For this photo I had very simple set-up. Only my keys and leather cloves. I used depth of field so, that the text Porsche is in focus.
Photo: Ready for the road - Porsche
Date: 28th of January, 2017
Camera: Canon EOS 60D
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM
Shot: 1/200 sec. f/4.5 50mm ISO 160
Editing: I used for this photo filter called Burlesque, so the photo looks now elder and it got also some extra feeling. Then some adjust for light and sharpness/clarity. Also little bit cropping.
I'm quite happy for the final photo. It looks pretty much what was in my mind.

Mika
