I built a little home studio. A black background fixed at the bookshelf, two Yongnuo flashes (one with a grid as key, one with a softbox as fill/accent), another Canon flash (trigger only) and that’s it.
Yesterdays “Let’s have a quick beer” went a bit overboard…
This weekend I went a little south, to Burghausen. Burghausen is a little town at the Austrian border, famous for the longest castle in europe. The castle is more than 1.5km from one end to the other, so you have to walk a bit when you are visiting it. There is a nice photography museum thee.
It’s nearly three years ago already… Back in 2010 a friend of mine won two tickets to the GT1 Grand Prix at the Nürburgring, but couldn’t go. So I went there with another friend of mine and visited a car race for the first time.
The Frankenballoncup finally took place after a couple of years of cancellation due to bad weather. And it was perfect weather… Unfortunately the wind went into a direction where the balloon I was supposed to be in could not find a large enough landing site, so I stayed on the ground. But it was fun anyway 🙂
Another Lens to test, a freshly bought Canon FD55/1.2. This is a manual lens for the old Canon FD mount, modified to fit on the EOS mount of my cameras. Also all images taken with the Fuji X-E1 and the lens on an Adapter.
My trusty Canon G10 is getting a bit old, and it was time for something new. The G10 will continue to work as my underwater camera, but for travelling I wanted something which has a slightly better image quality.
