Another walk with Leica X1

Winter day at Vantaa

Spring is here, daylight lasts much longer and sun will go down on 18:44. Summer is closer day by day! Today we had a great bright day and therefore I called to my friend if he wants to go out for a walk with me and a camera. He wanted to go as well so I ate first, then went to gas station to put gasoline to my car and then I went to pick up my friend. He wanted to eat something so we first stopped on K-Market Rekola, Vantaa since there was some kind of grill where he got his food.

River at winter

I thought at some point that I might take Fujifilm X-T2 and use that on shooting photos, but its battery was quite low and I hadn't had my spare battery here with me - or that I first thought, but later I found it anyway on my bag. I thought that is is on another bag what is not at this moment on my home, but anyway, I already made a decision that I just go and shoot with Leica X1. It was a good decision, I got many photos which I liked and it was fun to shoot with it, so isn't that kind of the point of photography anyway?

After Jesse had finished his food we went to the place somewhere nearby next to the river. On river it was a little bit hard conditions to take photos from time to time since it was so bright and sunny day that it was sometimes impossible to see anyting from the display. Practically it was shooting and wishing for best since it was not easy to see very well photo on the display after taking it. Of course it was not an issue in general, people have taken photographs tens of years without any kind of possibility to see photos immediately after taking so it was not a big deal. I knew that at least on home I can see photos very quickly on my iPad Mini.

We went quite close to the river to take photos and at one time snow wasn't that strong and my foot dropped to the water :D It was a good thing that it didn't drop too deep so practically only the shoe got wet outside but it kept that amount of water outside and therefore my socks didn't got that wet.

After our photoshooting we went to coffee shop and got a cup of hot coffee and after that we came to chill on my place. It was a good to go outside to enjoy the beautiful and sunny spring day.
