Dodo (Photos: Helena Hurme)

The clown "Dodo" performed at Savutuvan Apaja near Jyväskylä at an evening connected with the ISoCa conference (International Social Capital Conference) on October 18.-20. 2007. I asked whether I could take some pictures of him. It was very dark in the room and I am in between flashes, so to say, as I gave my old systems digital camera to my oldest nephew and some weeks ago also the dedicated flash belonging to that camera. Thus I only had a small, integrated flash on my camera. I have looked at a new flash, but I'll still wait... Anyhow, some of the pictures are very unsharp, but show the movement very well. I also gave my tripod to my nephew, which explains the unsteadiness in the pictures as well. By the way: one man said that my camera belongs in a museum (!) when I took pictures outdoors in the dark. I guess he does not know very much about systems digitals... :) (but, admittedly, there are better ones than my Nikon D200, of course). I am, however, pretty sure that my camera is better than his!

I'll add pictures from the conference later, perhaps during the weekend.
