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.

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.
