Hi All,
Business trip to Helsinki with some leisure time to photograph around. I will bring my Nikon D70s with 17-55mm f2.8. Any tips on photogenic places in or close to Helsinki are appreciated, as well as best time of day. I am also planning a trip to historic Porvoo. Are the red wooden houses best photographed in the morning or evening?
Thanks!

Hi!
Wellcome to Helsinki!
Nice locations to visit in town:
-Suomenlinna ( old fortress, takes 10 mins with ferry, ferry leaves from Kauppatori every 30 mins)
-Käpylä and Kumpula ( old part with wooden houses are nice this time of year)
-Seurasaari ( nice old houses etc.)
And You were already correct in Your original question; best times to photograph are early morning and late afternoon/evening. But so it is almost everywhere in the world...
Just remember that this time of Year the sun barely never gets totally down here. In the end of month is a short period when it stays in sky all day long...
Enjoy Your visit!
regards, Sami
