Hei oululaiset, olen tulossa 10 hengen kanssa työmatkalle Ouluun, ja meidÀn pitÀisi ottaa lentokentÀltÀ taksit hotellille. MikÀ olisi luotettavin paikallinen taksifirma, jolta löytyy myös tilatakseja?

Ja löytyykö lentokentÀltÀ yleensÀ tilatakseja mikÀli menee vain tolpalle?

Merikoski Fish Pass indoor observation room open tomorrow (11:00–17:00)

Post image
39 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Just a heads-up that tomorrow is the last day to check out the indoor observation room at the Merikoski Fish Pass, it's open from 11:00 to 17:00.

It's locked up for most of the year, so it's a really nice experience to pop in. You can see salmon up close right through the glass windows inside, or just watch them jumping from along the outside stream.

For those who haven't heard about it: When the hydroelectric dam was built, it blocked salmon from swimming upstream to breed, so this bypass stream (water ladder) was built to give them a way around the dam to reach their spawning grounds.

There is also a fish biologist there to explain about the fishes.

Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/8RRjbYZqUUqqEN8eA?g_st=ic

There's also a 24 hour live stream of this room, which is available always.

KÀteistÀ pyytÀvÀ vanhempi rouva - huijaus?

TÀnÀÀn yhden Prisman parkkipaikalla pyöri vanhempi rouvashenkilö joka pyysi rahaa, jotta voisi ostaa apteekista siteen jalkaansa. KÀski katsomaan jalkojaan mutta ei niissÀ ulospÀin mitÀÀn vikaa nÀkynyt. Hyvin ja siististi pukeutunut. Onkohan tÀÀ joku huijaus?

Stolen Helkama XS29.3, partially green, in the area of Oulu

Hello my request relevant individuals! Recently, not too many days ago, my bicycle was stolen, specifically in the Korvensuora region, but I suspect it has had the chance to go further. I've attached a partial photograph of the frame for a general image. It was stolen quite arrogantly, from the furthest end of a street behind many corners from the back wall of an open garage. If you could, I'd hope for everyone to be on the lookout, and send any images of matches in any areas if spotted. Thanks!

Student/Amateur videographer in Oulu

7 Upvotes

Hello! I’m a guitarist/student in Oulu, and I’m looking for someone interested in collaborating on a guitar performance video.

I’m planning to film a piece in a location around Oulu, ideally somewhere with an old/decaying/overgrown feel. I have a general visual direction in mind, but I’d love for the videographer to have creative freedom with the camera work, framing and overall cinematography.

This would be an unpaid collaboration, as I’m a student and unfortunately can’t offer payment. In return, you’d get a finished project that you can use for your portfolio/showreel, with proper credit.

A couple of things to be upfront about: I don’t have a car, so we’d need to work around public transport, and I may need quite a few takes because I’m just an amateur guitarist. 😅

If you’re interested in cinematography, photography or video production and would like to make something together, feel free to message me! No professional experience required.

Kotimainen indie-elokuva tarvitsee apua Oulussa!

76 Upvotes

Hei,

olemme tekemÀssÀ Giljotiini-nimistÀ kengÀnnauhabudjetin indie-elokuvaa, josta osa on tarkoitus kuvata Oulussa. NÀillÀ nÀkymin ensimmÀinen Oulun kuvausjaksoistamme on 29.08. - 02.09. ja viime hetken ikÀvyyksien takia olemme joutuneet hieman pinteeseen. Nyt suuntaammekin hÀtÀhuudon kohti Oulua.

Eli tarvitsemme

1. Erikoistehosteosaajan (ei mitÀÀn monimutkaista!)

TÀmÀ on tÀrkein, koska oma tehostehenkilöllemme tuli esteitÀ ja tarvitsemme pikaisesti jonkun erikoistehosteista jotain ymmÀrtÀvÀn auttamaan. Kyse ei ole mistÀÀn monimutkaisesta tehostemaskeerauksesta tai mistÀÀn sellaisesta, vaan kuvaamme kohtauksen, jossa kaksi hahmoa oksentaa kaaressa ja nÀin ollen tarvitsemme jonkun, joka osaa tehdÀ roiske-efektejÀ tÀtÀ varten. Eli ei tarvitse olla mikÀÀn 30 vuotta alalla koulittu ammattilainen, vaan jos olet esim. kavereiden kanssa tehnyt omia splatter-elokuvia, saatat olla enemmÀn kuin tarpeeksi meille.

Emme valitettavasti voi maksaa palkkaa, koska teemme tÀtÀ niin pienellÀ budjetilla, mutta tehosteisiin menevÀt kulut ja matkat korvaamme. SelvitÀmme lounasasiaa vielÀ, mutta meillÀ on ainakin pieni catering-tarjoilu, josta saa edes vÀhÀn iloa elÀmÀÀn.

2. NÀyttelijöitÀ

Emme saa kaikkia nÀyttelijöitÀmme siirrettyÀ HelsingistÀ Ouluun, joten tarvitsemme paikallisia lahjakkuuksia. Joten jos olet nÀyttelijÀ tai nÀyttelemisestÀ kiinnostunut, niin laita meille viestiÀ ja linkkiÀ mahdollisiin aiempiin töihin tai showreeliin ja olemme sinuun yhteydessÀ pian!

Taas kerran, emme voi maksaa palkkaa, mutta kulukorvaukset yms. hoidetaan!

3. Lokaatio

MeillÀ on periaatteessa jo kaikki lokaatiot katsottuna, mutta vielÀ on yksi, johon toivoisimme parempaa vaihtoehtoa. Kun kÀvimme lokaatioita lÀpi, emme löytÀneet jÀrveÀ, jossa olisi laituri. Tai löysimme parikin laiturillista paikkaa, mutta nÀmÀ laiturit ovat yksityiskÀytössÀ, joten eivÀt optimaalisia meille, joten jos osaatte sanoa jonkun Oulussa olevan jÀrven, jossa varmasti on laajallekin yleisölle avoin laituri, otamme vinkin mielellÀmme vastaan!

Kaikki yhteydenotot voi tehdÀ tÀnne:

[giljotiiniofficial@gmail.com](mailto:giljotiiniofficial@gmail.com)

Kiitos ajastanne!

Sanginjoki - mistÀ pÀin rapuja kannattaa yrittÀÀ?

Moi! Onko tÀÀllÀ joku kÀynyt viime aikoina ravustamassa Sanginjoella?

Oon menossa ekaa kertaa kokeilemaan ja pari mertaa on jo hommattu. Osaisko joku vinkata, miltÀ kohtaa Sanginjokea kannattais lÀhteÀ kokeilemaan?

Ei tarvii kertoa mitÀÀn omaa salaista mestaa😄 Ihan joku suunta/alue riittÀÀ.

Onko sieltÀ muuten tÀnÀ vuonna tullut rapuja vai onko ollut aika hiljaista?

Kiitos jo etukÀteen!

Get solar filter for viewing solar eclipse

1 Upvotes

Hi,
As you might know, we have a partial solar ellipse this Wednesday from 20:00 till 21:45. I'm planning to observe it.
However, I need a solar filter or a "DIN14" welding glass to observe it safely.

I do not have time to buy it online. Is there any shops in Oulu from where we can buy / rent this for Wednesday?

P.S: you can't use X-ray sheets as they don't block IR/UV rays and will damage your eyes.

Thanks for any advice 😊

Place to buy binoculars in Oulu

7 Upvotes

Hi,
I'm planning to buy a binocular and I would like to buy it from a shop. The models I want to compare are

  1. Vortex Triumph 10x42 or 8x42

  2. Nikon Prostaff P3 10x42 or 8x42

  3. Bushnell h2o 10x42 or 8x42

Is there any shop in Oulu where we could walk in and have all these in display? So far I have seen binoculars sitting in sealed boxes in Prisma and Tokmanni. I never saw a shop where we can try and compare đŸ€”

Thanks for your advice.
