no mirror, no cry

while packing for the legendary (and once again last) annual “duke” mtb race – this year being dubbed “duke of trash” since the location has been a former waste dump – i pondered bout taking the LX3 with me.. mh.
seconds later i had unpacked the nikon gear and filled my bag with a sony R1, some light and well, the LX3 – so no mirror-flapping for me that day..

on the dump i happened to find an elinchrom quadra right next to the channel of my own transmitter (thanks step ;)), so some shots were lit with that – others with one or two of my SB80s.. unfortunately the sky went grey a little too early, so i couldn’t take advantage of the “no-x-sync” shutters for too long..

small “training-shoot” for me at the latest race of the vienna “wintercup”, a small series of mtb/cx-races taking place during – surprise :) – the wintermonths on various locations in or near our capital..

in the vienna flex.

side effect on stage. who else. :)
had those raw-files flying round for a while, simply no time to finish them up.. so each time i looked at them i tried different things, never ever came to a decision which style to finally use, so this gallery is quite atypical for me, mixed up in colors and styles.. but to finally get them online, here they are..

a video and a farewell..

not too much variance in the concerts-category lately, so again it is Side Effect “on stage”, though in this case there was no real stage.. it has just been a mini-gig combined with the presentation of their new video, which you can watch here.. and it was the goodbye of armand, who played his last concert, after 12 years quitting his glamorous and excessive life as a rock’n'roll-star turning towards a boring and oldfashioned family-life.. 8)
(just kidding, but don’t worry armand, nobody is reading this anyways.. ;))

as said, the concert happened “at eye level” in the vienna “kunsthalle”, meaning there was no real stage, as well as there was no real stage-lighting.. so it was mainly dogfight with the 20mm + one wireless flash (silly me left the second at home), but there are also some shots with the 85/1.2 and available light..

and well, of course the photos are a little armand-centric, as most of the last 12 years he was most often the least photographed one of the four i had to change this at least for once.. :)

not so cool. fire.

today there was big fire in a nearby rubbish dump, smoke piled up about hundred meters, being blown towards vienna along the danube where it mixed up with the clouds.. guess one didn’t see much sun down there today..

firebrigades from the whole district and around fought all day long to get it under control.. though i might have been able to get closer i thought that impressive tower of smoke would look better from a little distance so i went onto a nearby hill to document it, passing by near only on my way home again.. after all even from up there i caught a decent headache from the likely not so healthy gases..
