A marvellous sunrise on the bank of the lake, fall colours blazing in the trees and fog is sitting on the ground... I wish I had my cam on me! - Does that sound familiar? Taking your camera with you guarantees that your memories are saved and that you can share your experience with friends. In the area of Satakunta and Pirkanmaa, there are several beautiful and picturesque natural sights, such as Isonevan suo, Joutsijärvi, Uhrilähde, and Liikistö. In addition to nature and the sights, it is worth to remember to shoot photos of yourself and your fellow hikers. Getting Started with Photoing As to begin taking photos, you will not necessarily have to spend several hundreds of euros - a usual (unbroken!) cam that had rested in a drawer under your bookshelf for years will just do. While your skills are improving and you are learning zooming and the significance of shutter time and gap, you can still keep considering buying a new cam and extra accessories. At this stage, it will be worthwhile to ponder the good and the bad sides of both digital and film cams. In local camera societies you will make cam friends, and will receive guidance while carrying on with this hobby. You can check out slides on nature and listen to the stories by active hobby cam fans about how they have sniped brilliant shots on Finnish nature while spending their week-end in a hidden cottage - in peace, far from the hurries. Taking courses on photography at Labour Schools is also a good way of getting started with this hobby. Protect Your Digital Camera Out in nature, a digi cam is worth to protect from sand and dust by keeping it in a cam bag. If you go hiking in a cold and dump period, then do keep your cam in a minigrip resealable plastic bag sealed when bringing it indoors. This will prevent moisture condensation into the cam. Let the cam warm up steadily by keeping it bagged until it will have reached indoors temperature. In cold weather, the batteries or the cell in your cam will not necessarily keep power as long as it does in warm, so do take some spare sources of electricity with you. Others Also Do Benefit From Your Photos Every hiker wants to know something about their future hike destination and its surroundings. Photos do give some sort of idea about what the place you are going to is like. You can exhibit your images in the Internet, even if you cannot construct web sites. In the web, you will find free access photo galleries where you can transfer your images to using your browser. Photo Taking Tips • Go near your focused topic • Try macrophotoing, and do take your photos from really close • Try new image angles: do kneel or even do lie down. You can climb upon a stone or up onto a tree branch. • Concentrate on the focused topic, still be conscious about the image background, though. Telephone wires in the background may spoil the atmosphere of your whole, otherwise smart, photo. Translated from Finnish to English by Volford Péter. Source: David Elmfelt, Utsidan.net
