Amazing late autumn evening over Valkiasjärvi lake in Oulu.

Finland is called a land of thousands of lakes, and in the country, lakes are almost everywhere. We have in the city of Oulu 4 lakes also, water is really everywhere here as we have also one of the biggest and longest rivers in Finland running through the city, where is ending a beautiful river delta falls to Bothnia Bay, part of the Baltic Sea. In the city, we can find also a few natural swamp ponds...

I take the picture during a bicycle trip with my boyfriend at end of September. The place is very beautiful! there are two big lakes and a swamp pond in the same place located around an old Taiga forest. The place is just 8 km from the city of Oulu with great bicycle trails.

I love the late evening blue moments when daylight starts to give a place for the night.

Here are two pictures were taken this evening, both pictures were taken in Manual focus and handheld

the firs picture:
0,6 sec, f2,8, ISO 640
Just basic editing

These are beautiful photos that reflect the quietness of the evening. Good point NataliaFlejszarPhoto NataliaFlejszarPhoto.
And it's a real achievement to have taken them handheld, it's just amazing!
I particularly like the sense of space in the first photo.

Thank you very much Morexp57 Morexp57 for your comment! Good notices with the first picture it's a bit " break the photo rules " but I like this kind of pictures, of course the ultra angel lens effect throws the landscapes farther like it's in the reality but I can get more in one picture of beautiful landscapes especially rivers& lakes reflection and sky 🤩 and another elements as a beach... etc. I like to give a space for an eye 👌.
The second one is taken with another rules.
Yes handheld is possible with an the Olympus incredible image stabilizator 😁, useful for me before I love to have camera always with me, I I shooted also nothern lights handheld last times 😄 Of course handhelding need a lot of practice also 😄
