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..

having had it planned for a while now, i finally made it out to shoot a little at night again.. put my shortest lenses on the two big canon-bodies, so i could play with one while the other was exposing – mostly bound to 30″ as i still don’t have any timer, nor a lockable cable-release with me :(

as most often i again used the lights of vienna, but also played a little with a flash and a flashlight.. all just gone through bibble for whitebalancing and minor tweaks..

just a quick link to the two latest (and likely last for this year) events i did with/for sportograf.com.

first the mountainbike world cup finals in schladming which were – well – worldcup.. a little more of everything all around, spectators, racers, skills.. and some disciplines i haven’t shot before.. in the gallery u find some of my favourite shots plus some of fellow shooter matteo (all file’s names not starting with “MK”) who was with me covering this event.

and then there was munich, another 24 hour race, actually the biggest one in europe.. 1500 participants, resulting in over 44000 photos online for them.. interesting track in the munich “olympia-park”, was fun and of course straining again – but well – for the love of sport ;) .. as we’ve been a lot of photographers there many of my photos look quite similar as we all stayed at single spots for a longer time than usual, of course also having to take into account the huge number of bikers, many being part of teams and therefore not being on the track all the time..

here we go again.. quite busy lately, and to one of the major projects that eat quite a lot of my time in recent days you can find a hint in this gallery..

sitting on a mountainbike for 24 hours must be fun. so why not doing it – bunch of friends of mine thought – and one of them registered a team of four for the euro-championships.. being their substitute i was lucky enough that all of the four were fit for the race, as i trained a little too little the last weeks before the race..
