Oulu region – Virtually Live
Explore the Oulu region – virtually live with Thomas Kast during daytime. This is your tour and you can choose what you want to experience prior to the tour. We can either be at a river, a lake, on the seaside or in the town itself. In deep winter, we can even walk together on the frozen sea! And in summer we can be out in the middle of the magic, bright summer night, watching the sunset together.
You will learn things about the Oulu region and you can ask questions about life in Finland, photography, northern lights, anything which comes to your mind. Thomas has been living in Oulu since 2000 and spent countless days and nights scouting for beautiful nature location in the region.
Thomas will bring his camera gear and take some photos. No, not just some photos, your photos! During this tour, you can explain to Thomas what photo you want. “Hey, can you take a photo of this tree with its shadow on the snow?” or “We just passed a great looking place, can we go back, explore that more and perhaps take a photo?”. Just ask and Thomas will try his best to get the photo for you. You even can watch him taking the photo for you and afterwards you will receive a small set of photos.
If you are looking for more photography insights, there are two optional extras – one during the tour (Settings & Composition) and one afterwards (Editing).
Weather permit: In case of totally unsuitable weather (like heavy rain, snowfall, storm, etc) we will reschedule the tour to a later date.
If you choose to book this virtual live tour multiple times, we will of course visit different locations.
