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.

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 from a 5 hours mtb-race – not too far from home – actually planned on takin part myself, but weekends at this time of the year are rather packed.. :(

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

just a handful of snapshots taken at and around a small concert of the legendary attwenger – taken place on the bisamberg, a hill next to vienna – on the area of the yet obsolete sender – maybe the last time to get that close to it as it’s rumored to be taken down soon..
