We are grains of sand.
Weather so beautiful but so deadly. Without a doubt, the most intense weather conditions I've ever shot in, -5 degrees Celsius (23°F) with a howling wind of 10 meters per second straight from the Baltic Sea. Gulf of Finland is still mostly open but a little bay like this is full of icy slush, slowly churning like it would be in an ice cream maker.
I'm dividing this set of pictures into two parts, because I have a lot of them and I think I deserve rewards from two posts because I pushed myself near hypothermia for these shots :D These first ones are shot with a wider lens Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G, and of course with the Nikon D7200.
This is more of an overview and tomorrow you'll see a more closer, intense look of the icy waves crashing to the shore, instantly freezing everything it touches, myself included.
lovely photography good job :D
Even on the cold , nature’s beauty never fades
I agree with you
wow
nice photos :)
-5C? I'll come to you for a warm welcome!
What cool
In my opinion -5C with high wind is a lot colder than -15C without wind
I agree with you
should change country ;)

If I would be a bot setup to comment your photos I think I would say something like Wow, so hot! or Babe, you look so good dressed like that! :)) People would be unsure if I am joking or if I am just a bot :D
I can spot a bot a mile away ;) and I already expect a lot more from you, so that wouldn't work anymore ;D
Haha, that was eve, the bot hunter!
what an original krastota! Thank you!
awesome really wonderful shots
i would not be out there for long, i'd freeze to death!
I think I was out there for about an hour and a half in total :P I was wearing a good winter jacket but on the lower half of my body I had just regular jeans, not a good idea I can tell you :D
an hour and a half?!? but your just a thin thing?! glad you were wrapped up. what we do for art eh? :)
Or for some sbd, a girls gotta eat ;)
sure, i respect that. yep, girls gotta keep in tip top condition! :)
Very beautiful photos! :)

out door after log time wall good
Come back next week, will probably be a bit worse then x)
Ps. Liked the weather a lot more in October of 2015 when I took this pic... I think I was riding around in shorts and a light jacket back then, warm Autumn I guess :D
I think I had enough of that weather for now, it’s much warmer in central Finland, even when it’s -10 degrees in here!

spectacular photos, the universe and its charms.
very intresting and nice pictures.
Hm... steemit just ate my comment. Wonder if it will pop up again somewhere else. Ok.. trying to remeber...
Intense conditions, but also intense photos! The cold air makes for a clean and crisp atmosphere and you captured a beautiful light.
Reminds me of seeing such "water"once, in lake Michigan in my Chicago days. It was all between liquid and frozen and the slush was moving like in slow motion.
I also remember the Baltic sea this cold, when we had to travel surfaced with our sub, and everything was frozen solid... including the flag and the crew on the tower! ❄️ 🌬🌊❄️
It was really hard trying to capture the true essence of the conditions, but you got it because you’ve seen it before, quite enchanting isn’t it?
You’ve been around all over, the stories you must have.. You being in a sub and in baltic sea with that is not just from another time but seems like another world all together.
Its absolutely enchanting and I think you captured it all really well.. as always :-) Of course you have to look at the photos full screen and then the "water" almost starts moving.
I like the light very much, also the colors and the composition. Wonderful set!
Btw.. you talk about a wide angle lens. Is that the one you wanted?
Oh god yes, the submarine. I was young and stupid. I got around, but it always came with a price.. looking back, it often feels like something I saw in a movie :-b
Haven’t gotten the 16mm one yet, so 18mm is as wide as I can go.
We have this saying in finnish, straight translation would be something like ’time gilds the memories’, meaning that you start to remember the old days being a lot better than what they really were at the time. Is that happening to you when you think of the times in the sub?
I see... curious of how much of a difference the other lens will make.
We have a similar saying, but I guess that's just one of the things that are oddly wired in my brain. When I know, that something was awful, I always remember it as such :-/
But then again, I am also infinitely happy and grateful for the good things that happened in my life 😁
Hello, great photos. I would like to visit a place as cold as that, but I'm not used to such cold temperatures because of being from Venezuela, I love how you managed to capture the brightness of the images despite the low temperatures. PS: be careful with your fingers
Stunning Eve 🙌🏽 Full upvote for the beauty and for you braving the weather to get the shots!
Thank you so much darling! :)
What sorcery is this!? :o
