I discovered a new festival for me. It's called the Viru Folk Festival and it's held in Käsmu, a lovely little seaside village in Northen Estonia. It was my first time in the festival and in Käsmu. And honestly - I was completely blown away by how cute and beautiful everything was. 

I was also testing my new lens, Nikkor 18-140mm, which I got on the same day I went to Käsmu. It's not anything special, but it's price and quality were the best that I could find. I also tried to do something new this summer: tried new angles, switched to RAW (I know, I should have done that for a long time ago...), started to almost "get" the whole Manual-shooting thing, messed around with shutter speed, aperture sizes and different light sources (concert photos), didn't put my camera away the very second the sun went down etc. Still not a pro, but I feel I learned a lot during this summer. 

For some reason I think that Viru Folk's photos are one of the best I've ever (or at least for a very long time) taken. I'm really happy about them, I love the way the night-time concert photos look, everything felt new and great for me. I guess photographer's happiness really does show up on their photos... 

So yeah, long post is loooong!
