How beautiful is the Esplanade park right now? Finally some real Christmas lights in Helsinki, I love it! (Just imagine all this if there were snow too…) I just took these pictures on my night walk, while talking on the phone with a friend the whole time. And just wandering and looking at all the pretty lights. Sometimes often it’s the most therapeutic thing to talk hours on the phone with a friend, about everything and nothing. First talking like about the meaning of life, and next what you are going to wear on Saturday night. But lots of things have happened lately, so grateful to have my friends, and to be there for them.
Today was another quite busy day, my outfit of the day you can check by the way on my Instagram. Still wearing accidentally all black, I’m blaming the darkness outside. Now I’m burning my new Yankee candle, a scent called gingerbread maple, and this is just pure christmassy perfection. I’m just about to (finally) start reading that new book of mine, I love ending the day like this. And also knowing that tomorrow it will be Friday, oh yes. x
Kuinka kauniilta Espan puisto näyttääkään! Viimein Helsingin jouluvalot vetävät vertoja jo suurkaupunkien valoille, puuthan ovat melkein kuin Central Parkista, haha! Nämä kuvat nappasin juuri iltakävelylläni, kylläpä se aika hujahti kun samalla puhui maratonpuhelua kaverin kanssa. Välillä on niin terapeuttista jutella kaverin kanssa puhelimessa tuntikausia, kaikesta ja ei mistään. Syvällisistä elämän koukeroista ja sattumista, ja seuraavaksi lauantai-illan asusuunnitelmista. Hahah. Nyt on kyllä tapahtunut paljon kaikkea ympärillä, onneksi on ystävät tukena ja saa itse olla tukena.
Tänään oli taas toinen suht kiireinen päivä, olisin halunnut postata vielä torstain puolella, mutta perjantaita se kello jo näyttää. Päivän asuni näätte muuten Instagramissa, taas yllätysyllätys koko mustaa. Ja taas (toinen yllätys) syytän tuota pimeää ilmaa. Nyt poltan uutta Yankee kynttilääni, tuoksultaan gingerbread maple, ja leijailee sellainen joulun tuoksu täällä että. Mmm… Aloitan vielä uuden kirjani, niin täydellinen päätös päivälle. Ja mikä vielä täydellisempää, huomenna on perjantai. Hyvää yötä, tai todennäköisemmin hyvää huomenta ja ihanaa perjantaita!

I love the deer made out of lights, so cute! Your Christmas lights pictures are always so beautiful! Do you have any favorite colors (of lights)?
♡♡♡

Hi Marianna,
Big fan of your blog, I’ve been reading and following for a long time. I was wondering, do you have any tips or can you tell us how you learned to take such great photos? Can you tell us what setting your camera was on for these photos? I find Christmas lights can be so hard to photograph and these just look amazing.
Thank you <3

Marianna says
Hi Christine! 🙂 Thank you so much for that amazing feedback. <3 I use manual settings always, it was so dark that I put the ISO-setting to really high (1500-2000) and then just adjusted the lightning right. So hard to explain, I'm not even a professional at using cameras but I find my Canon EOS 6D really simple! 🙂
Michèle says
wonderful photos. I wish you a beautiful pre-christmas time, Mariannan
Marianna says
Aw, I wish you the same, thank you Michèle! 🙂 x
