More of London

Here is couple more pictures from London.
It's only less than a week til christmas. If you avoid the shops (as I successfully have) it doesn't feel very christmassy at all. Can't wait to spend a christmas in Finland though, it's been a while.
Hopefully get some nice winter photos from Finland but looks like even there it's not going to be white christmas this year.

London Town

First week behind us and London has surprised us so far.
It's still busy and a nightmare to commute but we have discovered there are lots of nice huge parks and greenery which I guess you don't realise on the normal tourist weekend when staying right in the city centre.
Lots of little village-like areas with nice little cafes, shops and markets.
Lovely Autumn colours around at the moment too.

First set of pictures is a random mix of not your typical London.
Will slowly venture in to the city more when I get more confident about the tubes and find my way around better.

Cheers!

Framed photos for Sale

The Roseleaf exhibition has finished and I still have plenty to sell.
It would have been nice to sell a few more there but it was a great experience and got good feedback.

Take a look at the photos on my facebook.

Gairloch

Haven't had enough time lately to take photos so I have to resort to some older ones.
These ones are from Gairloch, which is a beautiful spot on the north west coast of Scotland.
Had a couple of good days there around easter time. Beautiful beaches if the sun is shining and lovely scenery. It's worth a visit!

Exploring Edinburgh

Had a good weekend of exploring the neighbourhood. Managed to get some great photos also.
Weather wasn't too bad compared to the storm we have today, tail end of the Hurricane Katia has hit UK shores.
Saturday I went down to Leith docks where i had spotted this old wooden pier earlier.
It's always extra satisfying to go and get the photo you have planned in your mind (doesn't happen to me that often yet).
Rest of the photos are from sunday, it was a bit drizzly but had a good walk along the water of leith (between Balerno and Slateford), and photos turned out better that they would have in bright sunlight.

Roseleaf exhibition

Here are some pictures from my exhibition.

Welcome to my new blog!

My name is Jari Vipele and this is my photography blog, hopefully you will find it interesting and it will continue to grow.

Same goes with my photography as I would love to make it a full time job in the future.

It has taken me a long time to realise that this is something I would love to do for a living.

I am from Finland originally and I have made a long detour via Australia to end up living in UK. Other than Australia I did travel around South East Asia and New Zealand. Unfortunately at the time I didn’t have a good camera, so a lot of the pictures aren’t as good quality as the more recent ones.

My work so far has involved printing, pre-press and graphic design (among lots of other random things whilst travelling). I think my interest for photography has evolved from working in very visually rich and creative environment and I have been inspired by being able to travel to beautiful places.

To celebrate starting this blog I also have a fantastic opportunity to exhibit and (hope to) sell my photos at Rose Leaf restaurant in Leith. It’s there for all September. It’s really cool place for dinner or just drinks. Please check it out, food is good and it has a nice relaxed atmosphere.

Hope you like the blog and come back to it. Please leave comments and feedback to help me to improve.

Here is some photos from along the way so far.

More to come soon.
