Susie's Thoughts

Fabrics design

I’ve been creating my own fabric designs for a while already and now they are available at Spoonflowers. Here’s a couple of samples from my portfolio.

Light a Candle

The days are getting shorter and the nights longer… well, the good thing is you can always light a candle…

Friday nights dinner

After a long week of being busy it’s nice to treat yourself with a good dinner. Salmon and spinach fettucine, yum!

Blue Dream

Visited my sister yesterday and tried out my new lense, a Tamron 90mm f2.8 Di. Blue is my favourite color and I like the dreamy look in this picture.

Sunset in South of Finland

Sunset in south of Finland. I just love the view from this bridge.

Back in Finland

I’m back in Finland and back to work. I have a bunch of photos from Cambridge and this is just one of them. I just love the way the light makes the glass radiate.

Early tomorrow morning I will enter the flight to Cambridge. I’m going to study the English language for one week, but I understand we will have a lot of free time too. If you have any good ideas of what I should shoot or any interesting places I should visit, please feel free to share in a comment. I’m a geek, so I will have my computer with me and I’m going to try to post at least once during my stay.

Colors of Nature

Susie — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 15:00:11 +0000

I love the colors you can find in nature. No matter how good I am at mixing colors on my palette, I will never be able to reproduce the colors nature produce. I love the contrast, the different shades and the clarity a little spot of light can add.

Color by COLOURlovers

Photos, paintings, palettes are tools we can use when we try to reproduce, but we should never forget to not only reproduce, but to stop and feel, to inhale the colors, the smells and the feelings. We can use photos to be able to look back, we can use paintings to be able to see the future, but we should not forget to stop and enjoy the present…

Make it work

When things don’t work out as planned we might have to make them work…

New Camera

Susie — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 09:30:54 +0000

I have decided to move all my tutorials to a new blog, but it will probably take a while before I get it done, because I bought a new camera. My old Canon Eos 350D is a good camera, but have it’s limitations and have also seen it’s best days. I haven’t had the camera for that long, only a little more than two years, but the model itself is already 4 years old. I got a good deal on the new Canon Eos 500D and could not resist. I got the camera yesterday and I’m still testing it, but I must say I love it. The image posted above is shot with the new camera and Canons EF 50mm/1.8 lens.
