russkaja live

markus — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 14:45:52 +0000

annual “kabarett-woodstock” in neighbouring city of korneuburg. actually went there just for watching russkaja, but somehow felt like picking the camera from my car’s trunk, and since the organizer was fine with it.. ..

good test for the d700 anyways which i haven’t shot concerts with so far – though i’m not too impressed with it’s performance in this extreme situations, heavily tinted light and high isos. not to mention that i heard myself saying “i want my primes back” several times. still quite undecided where to go from my system-mishmash..

silent night

couple of days ago i felt the need to get out into the snow, though freezing cold – someone gotta test camera’s batteries anyhow 8) the planned short walk then took over 3 hours, back home past 2 in the morning..

my main goal of course has been our village’s castle, as it’s lights could give nice effects with lower fog, but unfortunately the fog wasn’t that low.. but with snow and all this light-pollution around here one can shoot at night nowadays at speeds nobody ever would have thought of couple of years ago!.. did i mention lately i actually *love* light-pollution? ;)

all done with bibble 5, just some tweaking of colors/whitebalance, no photoshop.

steaming sugar

on my way home from a job the other day i simply couldn’t pass a big sugar refinery where there were just huge piles of steam towering up against the partly cloudy moon-lit sky.. unfortunately the steam was quite a bit less yet when i found my first spot to shoot, but still i thought it would be a nice test-drive for the nikon’s night-abilities which i omitted to test till now..

some shots of a day in the mountains back in july, climbing the peaks above zauchensee/salzburg.

it’s been a great day with ever changing light, and the d700 with 50/1.4 and 12-24/4 prove to be a nice combo for this ~6 hours hike.

wintercup 2/08

markus — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 22:02:34 +0000

this year’s second race of the “schnecke wintercup”-series, taken place in andlersdorf, a village in the flat east of vienna. it’s been a foggy november-morning, so i put up a little darker and less colorful conversions this time..

all done with d700+50/1.4

also see lars’ view of this (but omit the first pic :))
