24 hours on skis
the last weekend i’ve been to the Kronplatz ski resort in italy – as usual – not for holidays.. the local skiing schools had prepared for an extraordinary event – trying to challenge some world records, namely “the most vertical feet skied downhill in 24 hours” – for single athletes and a team of four.
russkaja live
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.. ..
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..
