Winter is coming - Frozen Tornio River

Here is Northern Finland days are getting colder and last days have been already subzero days. At the moment temperature is -12C, so it means the river has already frozen. This photo I took two days a go on Sunday.

Place: Tornio, Finland
Photo: Frozen Tornio River
Date: 6th of November, 2016

Camera: Canon EOS 60D
Lens: Canon EOS EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS

Editing: Cropping

One interesting point of the photo. I took this photo at 14:45, but sun was already very low. Today two day later sunrise was 8:44AM and sunset was already at 3:29PM, so sun is above horizon only 6h 45min.

Train Bridge and Windmills

This just a interesting example how focal length effect to background of the photo. Here in the photo train bridge is on the front and windmills on the background are quite far from the bridge. Windmills look colossal.

Place: Tornio, Finland

Date: 3rd of November, 2016

Camera: Canon EOS 60D

Lens: EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS

Any idea how to use this feature and do some funny tricks?

Review - Small and Powerful DJI Mavic Pro Drone

I have been interested about drones already many years, but I have never owned one. During the last few years drones have developed a lot and features are getting better and better.

One of the newest and most interesting drone on the market is at the moment DJI Mavic Pro. It's small and powerful drone with 4 vision sensors, 4K camara and amazing 4.3mi (7Km) range.

In fact the size is now very compact, because the arms are possible to fold to small packet.

Mavic Pro promotional video.

Here is interesting review of Mavic Pro.

Very impressive drone indeed! I think I have to buy one.
