The second day was more looking at the details, more water, more phun!

Splash!

Wonder Festival, the first premium water park event held in Finland! Everything was massive: Lights, Pa-systems (all over the place), drink bars.. Spectacular!

Photographing was interesting. I was using Canon's 1Dx with "pancake" (40mm/2.8) and found the objective to be a nice to shoot basic frames all over the place; it as at it's best photographing dj- and friendphotos from close proximity.. and yes, i did get into the pool later on!

After one Wonder there's another one..

The second day is always "better" and easier as you have all sorted out the first day and second day you can relax more. This time the pics were more of friend photos. I was acting as a walking photo booth which I normally don't do. For some reason also I had some strange feeling on me.

It was fun, crazy weekend. Now back to boring normal life :D Cheers!

Wonders happen..

The new premium event has begun at Serena. From the past years the place was familiar and the conditions too. This time I had lots of new gear compared to the last Serena event a year back. New camera body and actually all the lenses I have now are new for me in the venue. But yes, there were a lot on beautiful people to shoot and very hot and moist as you would expect.

I tried to capture the place as it looked to my eye. You tell me if I've succeeded or not. Nevertheless enjoy the pics. :)

HBD Bass!

Three years goes fast and now it's time to celebrate! And we did. Full house, fireworx etc. Crazy!

Enjoy the pics!

Lots of LOVE and Group therapy

After two years of wait they're are back! Above & Beyond! No need to say more.

Check out the pics!

OTA MUSTA KUVA!

I have been photographing at Fredan Tivoli couple of times and it has been all the same everytime. I really have trouble to concentrate on photographing the event when all the time someone is poking me or pulling my sleeve asking for a picture. Most of the time I had to decline because there was no room to photograph 3-5 clubbers in tight situation or I was hunting something else. Those "friend photos" that are ok, are published here and the rest have been deleted, as usual :)

The RED room gave some extra challenge because of the color. I was also climbing the struss-structure trying to find a decend angle (+ it was smoky as hell). Interesting night all the same :)

Enjoy, I'm speechless..

Just for fun this time

Sorry for not being updating the "old" S2 page for a while. Were working on something new and just have been testing it's uploads and stuff and have have enough effort to put pics also on our main www. Last night I was checking how good todays DJs are in Finland. The best Finnish DJ Semifinals started last night in Onnela. Just wanted to test my newest tele zoom lens.

Pictures have been taken with very HIGH ISO level (lot's of noise) and they probably are tilting quite a lot. But If you don't mind that, please enjoy the pics!

Underground!

Once again I just had to visit lappeen Ranta! Entropy is having their 20y/o birthday bash tour and this time it was Entropy <3 techmu.

Gallery is not as big as usual as I was just having fun and chatting with old friends - but here are the photos anyway :)

Bumputipunputi!

After Rinneradios gig we headed straight to downtown. Anselmi Kuusisto, ShineFish and Roy Trek were spinning some house music at Coffee House so that was our destination.

I decided to take some shots just to give a glimbse that lounge style events do work outside Helsinki. Having fun, couple of ciders, and then back home!

- Karo

Trööt!

It has been many years since I last heard Rinneradio performing. It was in Mikkeli (maybe 7 years ago) and I didn't have my Camera with me. This time I had an opportunity (no work and a free night + free next morning) to attend and I managed to get a permission for photographing from all three facets (Tapani Rinne, Kouvolan kaupunki and Rockadillo's management).

The gig was something else that we are used to photograph and what you are used to see at SESSIONS2. It was a real concert, not a mindless rockin' party inside a misty club. It was nice and to shoot frames without a flash and do photos that are really authentic. Music was nice and Mufflers beat gave an extra nice addition to Rinneradios music. Hope you like the photos as much as you liked the gig!

PS. This was one of those gigs that one should really listen and watch first - and then take a camera and photograph the second show. Unfortunately, they only had one play at Kouvola-talo, so I had to concentrate more on the photographing than listening :/

Hey!

It has been about a month since I last had camera in my hand. I have been busy due the school and stuff and there hasn’t been demand for my service here in Jyväskylä. A night off again, but I wanted to try how rusty I was.

The venue was all new to me. It had high ceiling and the floor was huge. I counted 43 partylights and few strobes and there were cool decos at the Waikiki bar. I liked it a lot – as I did for the event. The music wasn’t surprising, but people did like it. I, however, did expect more visitors and a lot more familiar clubbers, shame on you who didn’t show up!

As for whole, I was really, really tired the whole night. I wasn’t on the mood at all and there was quite many asking for a friend-pic – and this didn’t cheer me up, quite the opposite.

Sorry if I disappointed you by not publishing photo of you, but hey, it was my day off and I wanted to do something like this (:

Hello!

Some of you might have noticed, that there are not so many new galleries at SESSIONS2 that we have photographed. We are testing and coding the base of a new site. The hybrid version of "SESSIONS2 and SESSIONS3" will be published in 1-2 months. All of the missing galleries will be found from the new hybrid version after it is online!

Here are some major changes:
- Reworked structure
- Galleries are named "Events"
- Possibility to gather "Events" under a "Tour"-page or "Chain of Events"-page
- More efficient search tool (aka more detailed database)
- Maybe a database of venues and event organisations too
- More detailed introducion page for SESSIONS2 crew
- More information about tours and events
- Detailed statistics of all content at SESSIONS2

The hybrid site's layout is quite similar to the SESSIONS2 you are used to but a bit more harsh because of new features; it will be totally reworked at some point by someone (who, we do not know yet) :) Main reason why we are releasing the hybrid version is to check out how it works in use (it has been beta-tested for the last 6 months).

If you have something to ask or you find some bugs, just send us/me some email!

Yours,
SITE MANAGER
