this year’s second race of the “schnecke wintercup”-series, taken place in andlersdorf, a village in the flat east of vienna. it’s been a foggy november-morning, so i put up a little darker and less colorful conversions this time..

all done with d700+50/1.4

also see lars’ view of this (but omit the first pic :))

my trusty (knock wood) ford focus c-max just turned 100k, of course i missed the opportunity to get a shot of the five 9s though i had it planned for weeks.. ..

with that number on the counter i quite likely won’t sell it anytime soon, so where are those reasonable *and* useable hybrids? - probably will wait for those..

back in mid august i’ve been down at the far south-east end of nowhere austria, to cover a small but legendary 4X-race for the organizer and a bikeboard report.

as legendary as the race, is the fact that it always rains at this event, heavily - as in floodlike. so it was predicted for this year either, but against all forecasts, after 5 minutes of dripping around noon the day turned to the complete opposite.. still we got our dose of mud after dark, when the after-race party with the fabulous binder-krieglstein on stage took place.

a slug’s fatal journey.

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..
