Nice bear! # Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 1/800 second = 0.00125 second
# Lens F-Number/F-Stop = 11/1 = F11
# Exposure Program = normal program (2)
# ISO Speed Ratings = 400 This is pretty extreme? When you have time, go through this:

Very interesting series. It's fascinating to see how GA works outside the USofA.

I give your pilots credit for their dedication despite frigid temps and frozen runways!

What a picturesk airport and you did an excellent job in capturing that. The entire set looks great but #6 stands out to me the most. Well done.

Thanks for advice, at least I have 3 weeks to learn capture a prop properly. :-)

We are again having 3 day Fly-In event on an icy lake. Maybe some of you have read this on Pipers Magazine: http://airpilot.pp.fi/nummijarvi/historia/P0505_FinlandFlyin.pdf. I will keep you posted after the event!

Wow
That is cold. I visited Helsinki in 1998. I think the siding on the tower and adjoining buildings looks interesting in the snow !The cockpit looks like it affords maximum visibility on the low wing aircraft.
