<p>all athletes have been very well prepared, and everything around quite obviously was at least as well organized with a lot of helpers around all the time. and all the effort was thanked with perfect weather-conditions which probably helped a lot to even make a girl of 20 shatter the old record for a single athlete (which has been ~92k metres, set by a male of course)</p>

<p>with the help of <a href="http://www.grubernd.at">bernd</a> i covered this event for their <a href="http://24h.kronplatz.org">homepage</a> and <a href="http://24h.kronplatz.org/community-3/pressefotos/">PR</a>, which was a lot harder than expected, as getting close to the action wasn&#8217;t that easy &#8211; as nobody wanted to risk an accident at speeds of 100km/h, and the only turn they had to do at the end of each lap of course got a bit boring soon ;)</p>

<p>despite the lack of time for such experiments i&#8217;ve put the gopro on one of the skier&#8217;s helmet once, but never having done this with skiing before the setup has been quite a bit too low for the racing action (well, usually there&#8217;es a front wheel to get into the frame ;)), but it probably still shows the athletes perspective quite well &#8211; keep in mind they did all this ~200 times.. ..</p>

<p>it&#8217;s been a pleasure to witness and document the success of such a motivated crowd &#8211; and i seriously doubt that <a href="http://24h.kronplatz.org/2011/01/wir-sind-weltmeister/">their records</a> will be broken anytime soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>while packing for the legendary (and once again last) annual &#8220;duke&#8221; mtb race &#8211; this year being dubbed &#8220;duke of trash&#8221; since the location has been a former waste dump &#8211; i pondered bout taking the <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/panasonicdmclx3/" target=_blank>LX3</a> with me.. mh.<br />
seconds later i had unpacked the nikon gear and filled my bag with a <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/SonyDSCR1/" target=_blank>sony R1</a>, some light and well, the <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/panasonicdmclx3/" target=_blank>LX3</a> &#8211; so no mirror-flapping for me that day..</p>
<p><a href="http://photing.com/recent/100320_duke" target=_blank><img src="http://blog.photing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/100320_0941.jpg" alt="" title="2RC Duke of Trash 2010" width="500" height="203" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-308" /></a><br />
<span id="more-307"></span></p>
<p>on the dump i happened to find an elinchrom quadra right next to the channel of my own transmitter (thanks <a href="http://www.stephanmantler.com/">step</a> ;)), so some shots were lit with that &#8211; others with one or two of my SB80s.. unfortunately the sky went grey a little too early, so i couldn&#8217;t take advantage of the &#8220;no-x-sync&#8221; shutters for too long..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>fast backward 2001. the time when video was still watched on those bulky square tubes in the livingroom, mainly transported on brown ribbons wound up on coils in black plastic boxes.<br />
i was asked to shoot photos at a regatta down in croatia, and as i&#8217;m there, maybe i could shoot some video-footage of one of the teams &#8211; they&#8217;ll bring a camera..</p>
<p><object width="500" height="375"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9510629&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=ffffff&amp;fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9510629&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=ffffff&amp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="500" height="375"></embed></object></p>
<p><span id="more-298"></span></p>
<p>what it turned out to become was a complete promotional video for the team and one of it&#8217;s sponsors, of course for a very small budget &#8211; but well &#8211; quality wasn&#8217;t that high either with the lack of preparation and equipment..</p>
<p>we had a couple of hours dedicated video-shooting after each day&#8217;s flight of the regatta &#8211; as always with sailing &#8211; with too little wind.. the wide-angle adapter i happened to have with me luckily fitted on the camera they brought, and with some juggling i also made it through with the handful of DV-tapes i had.. so with the rather limited footage i was *then* asked if i wouldn&#8217;t cut this thing either.. well.. i tried to &#8211; no need to mention how demanding to the hardware it was back then.. i vaguely remember i even had to &#8220;print&#8221; this out to vhs-tape in the end..</p>
<p>to bring it back in the future i just removed the fields and added some grainy film effect to camouflage that old DV-&#8221;quality&#8221;, which just doesn&#8217;t look good anymore for today&#8217;s standards..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>this in german for a change, as it mainly might concern local folks anyways. it&#8217;s about my cooperation (and why i ended it) with the event-photoservice <a href="http://www.sportograf.de">sportograf</a> in 2007/08 &#8211; which prove way less enjoyable than many, esp. their clients might have expected.</p>
<p><span id="more-275"></span></p>
<p>die deutsche firma sportograf hat sich mit ihrem innovativem vertriebsmodell für teilnehmerfotos von sportevents ja in den letzten jahren auch bei uns in österreich einen namen gemacht, woran ich (ganz objektiv gesehn) nicht unbeteiligt war &#8211; hab ich doch 2007/08 mit meinem team an fotografen fast alle mtb- und einige andere rennen in österreich abgewickelt, wie ich glaube immer in dem spirit und der qualität die die kunden mit der marke sportograf verbinden.</p>
<p>natürlich wurde ich im letzten jahr des öfteren gefragt warum ich aufgehört habe, bzw werden sich viele diese frage selbst beantwortet haben mit &#8220;es wird ihm halt zu wenig übrig geblieben sein&#8221;. was vereinfacht gesehn nicht unrichtig ist &#8211; nur war der hauptgrund für meinen ausstieg eigentlich die ursache für dieses &#8220;zu wenig&#8221; &#8211; und bei weitem komplexer..</p>
<p>ich war von beginn an eher misstrauisch gegenüber dem modell da mir die art wie sie ihr produkt dem endkunden verkaufen ein wenig &#8220;zu gut um wahr zu sein&#8221; erschien &#8211; sportlich und fair, so sind nicht nur die preise sondern auch das gesamtbild das sportograf nach aussen vermittelt, man ist sogar verleitet zu vergessen dass es eigentlich eine beinhart gewinnorientierte firma ist und kein verein selbstloser freaks. aber trotz aller bedenken liess ich mich auf das abenteuer sportograf ein, unter der bedingung aktiv an der entwicklung mitarbeiten zu dürfen und nicht nur ein einfacher bilder-lieferant zu sein.</p>
<p>bald schon war mir klar wo die stärken und schwächen dieses geschäftsmodells lagen, wie man profitabel arbeiten <em>könnte</em> &#8211; musste allerdings im laufe der zeit immer mehr feststellen dass ich auf subtile art von dieser rentablen zone ferngehalten wurde &#8211; und damit auch mein team. gleichzeitig wurden meine ideen und vorschläge um den weniger rentablen teil des geschäfts (der mir blieb) zu optimieren grossteils ignoriert, bzw. als nicht verfolgens<em>wert</em> eingestuft &#8211; auch klar &#8211; wozu sich mit den wenigen prozent die man beim kleinen teil des kuchens noch rausholen könnte abmühen, wenn man selbst doch sowieso über 90% davon vernascht..</p>
<p>für mich war dies immer mehr ein zeichen dass die fairness mit der diese firma bilder an ihre kunden verkauft leider dort auch schon wieder endet.</p>
<p>ich seh mich schon immer eher als handwerker, und wahrscheinlich kommt es daher dass für mich &#8220;profitables arbeiten&#8221; bedeutet hätte dass ich den eigentlichen &#8220;arbeitern&#8221; &#8211; den fotografen &#8211; das bezahlen kann was ihnen zusteht, fair und transparent nach leistung bewertet.</p>
<p>doch so wie ich es die beiden jahre erlebt habe ist sportograf viel mehr eine fabrik. die chefs dieser fabrik wollen keine handwerker, sie wollen roboter &#8211; maschinen die keine persönlichen ansprüche, rechte und ideen haben oder gar eine art gewerkschaft bilden könnten. maschinen die mit möglichst wenig und konstanten laufenden kosten maximalen gewinn produzieren, egal wie sehr sie belastet werden oder was sie leisten. meist sind es deshalb studenten &#8211; denen der wert ihrer arbeit und was diese fabrik daraus macht gar nicht bewusst ist.</p>
<p>auch muss man sich vor maschinen nicht rechtfertigen wenn denn mal irgendetwas nicht so klappt wie es sollte &#8211; und das passiert halt leider dadurch dass das system noch in der entwicklung steht immer wieder, so manche werden dies wohl auch schon als kunden zu spüren bekommen haben. über solche sachen wurde dann aber einfach nicht geredet, direkte anfragen dazu regelmässig ignoriert.</p>
<p>überhaupt war die zusammenarbeit alles andere als so wie es sich aussenstehende wahrscheinlich bei einer &#8220;fairen&#8221; firma vorstellen. es gab so gut wie keine kommunikation, e-mails wurden permanent ignoriert bzw. gingen in der völligen überforderung der beiden &#8220;chefs&#8221; unter, von mir eingebrachte ideen bzw angebote zur mithilfe auch ausserhalb des fotografischen wurden meistens mit ignoranz belohnt &#8211; ausser natürlich man konnte sich geld damit ersparen..</p>
<p>nachdem ich im jänner 2008 nochmal versuchte mich weiter einzubringen und dafür sogar nach aachen flog musste ich kurz darauf einsehen dass es sinnlos war. meine mithilfe an der vor ort geplanten &#8220;neuen&#8221; homepage war so gut wie umsonst, da bis heute kaum etwas davon umgesetzt wurde &#8211; der wille an den grundlegenden problemen des systems was zu ändern oder sie auch nur zu sehen hielt sich genauso in grenzen und die kommunikation wurde auch nach dem treffen wieder auf quasi null zurückgefahren.</p>
<p>auf meine ankündigung im juni 2008 dass ich im jahr 2009 nicht mehr zur verfügung stehen würde bekam ich bis heute &#8211; eineinhalb jahre später &#8211; keine antwort.. ..</p>
<p>rückblickend hab ich in den beiden jahren vieles gelernt, nicht nur fotografisches, sondern auch über menschen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>early september i&#8217;ve been down in switzerland, <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&#038;hl=en&#038;geocode=&#038;q=Gurnigel,+3099+R%C3%BCti+bei+Riggisberg,+Switzerland&#038;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&#038;sspn=66.574603,135.351563&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;ll=46.732125,7.44784&#038;spn=0.007199,0.016522&#038;t=h&#038;z=17">near bern</a>, covering the first european &#8220;red bull road rage&#8221; &#8211; an on-road downhill-race.</p>
<p><a href="http://photing.com/recent/080906_rr/" target="blank"><img src="http://blog.photing.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mk_rr_7258.jpg" alt="080906, Red Bull RoadRage, Gurnigelpass, Schweiz" title="click to open gallery" width="500" height="192" class="size-full wp-image-107" /></a><br />
<span id="more-106"></span><br />
what began with a beautiful morning in the swiss mountains more and more developed to what was predicted: heavy rainfalls starting right after noon. so besides the problems to cover such event alone (long distances, no way to move on the (only) road while the race is on), it was a real challenge to keep my stuff dry and functional.. of course the remotes soon gave up due to the humidity &#8211; so i mainly had to rely on the cam in my hand.<br />
to move, i had an mtb with me, rolling down was the easy part, but getting up that (really steep) road with the heavy weight on the back took a lot of time.. for one major move i was lucky to (literally) get hold of one of the motorbikes securing the track &#8211; which wasn&#8217;t that easy either though.. holding that guy&#8217;s arm with my left (weak) hand, my bike straight with the other, still the heavy backpack on my back, and that all while going steep up with 40km/h or more.. not so funny. and did i mention the heavy rain? not that the water would stay on the ground if one rolls upwards with broad mtb-tires.. :(</p>

<p>as legendary as the race, is the fact that it always rains at this event, heavily &#8211; as in floodlike. so it was predicted for this year either, but against all forecasts, after 5 minutes of dripping around noon the day turned to the complete opposite.. still we got our dose of mud after dark, when the after-race party with the fabulous <a href="http://www.mikaella.org/bk/" target="_blank">binder-krieglstein</a> on stage took place.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>.. more or less business as usual, just with some &#8216;minor&#8217; differences.. a mtb-marathon with rather little (just close to 300) participants, 500kms to reach it, and best of all &#8211; getting to know about it just some hours before having to depart..</p>
<p>so i went to <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&#038;hl=en&#038;geocode=&#038;q=Sauris,+Udine+(Friuli-Venezia+Giulia),+Italy&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;z=13&#038;iwloc=addr">sauris/ita</a> alone, arriving there at 2 in the morning, getting up at 6 again, without knowing the track at all, trying to get a plan, looking for useable spots, and being readily set up there after the start at 9 .. luckily the weather was quite the opposite of what was to expect in advance.</p>
<p><a title="click to open gallery" href="http://photing.com/recent/080615_313_sauris/" target="blank"><img src="http://blog.photing.com/wp-content/uploads/MK_313_7587.jpg" alt="click to open gallery" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-75"></span><br />
it all went surprisingly smooth&#038;easy, i quickly found what i was looking for on the track, set up my remotes and was ready to go well before the race started. all remotes worked flawlessly, and timing was perfect, so for less than 300 participants i produced more than 3000 photos, a mean of 10 photos per rider.. fortune favours fools :) ..</p>
<p>back home, 500kms straight, and done.</p>
