Schreien (Screaming) a new project

Screaming (In german you say Schreien) is a good way to get rid of stress and its very relieving. First time I saw a friend screaming, I knew I have to take a picture of that sometimes and I had a very precise picture in my mind how I would like to do that picture.
After the idea was born it was just a matter of time until I did the domain reservation and found time to start the first session with friends.
Visit my project under www.schreien.at.
Some other friends allready announced to come to the next session. And I want to keep up that project running and running…..so everybody who wants to join that project is very welcome.

World Cup of Pool Qualifiers

Before I left St. Johann today I took the opportunity to shoot some pictures of the World Cup of Pool Qualifiers.
I allways love to see the scotch doubles format…..like discussing the next shot, or waiting together for the next chance.

Eurotour St. Johann im Pongau 2011 Day 2

After 4 hours sleep I woke upe because of some noise from the next room….After Jogging I got a great breakfast. Feeling very tired, I did not think I am able to shoot some good photos today.
So I started outside shooting some of the animals arround the venue….

 

But it was exactly the other way arround. I got some realy great shots from today!
Beside taking pictures I saw some great games. And everything ended up with a pizza party.
Check also my
Poolaroids shop the next weeks again…..a lot of this pictures will be there for sale soon.

Shooting Jenny with the new Pentax 645D

First of all I have to say thanks to the guys from www.digitalkameraverleih.com .
(A very good place to rent a camera if you are from Vienna or Lower Austria.)
They gave me the opportunity today to try the new Pentax 645D with 40 mega pixel:

 

 

I am a DSLR guy and it was the first time in my live to use a medium format camera.
Maybe you guys think it will be difficult to use that camera without any explanation….
But it’s not! It took me about 30 seconds to find out how to change ISO, shutter speed and aperture.
Usage is very intuitive and smooth. I was surprised how accurate and fast the autofocus was. For sure not that fast like on my 7D, but guys we are talking here about a studio cam. I tried two lenses and on both lenses the focus was perfect on every shot.(The last picture in the gallery was my fault, with F4.0 and 125mm the depth of field is very small. And aiming on the hair will not work if you want to have sharp eyes ;-) )

 

High ISO is also no problem with that camera. Up to ISO 1600 and the noise level is amazingly low for that kind of camera(I saw samples from other medium format cameras that were worse at ISO 800 or 400). I put one 100% ISO 1600 crop (freehand shot from the late afternoon) in the gallery, so you can see what I am talking about.
But the camera is made for studio sessions….and as a DSLR guy I was pretty amazed about the picture quality. I put also a 100% ISO 100 crop in the gallery to make you guys drop your jaws ;-)

 

Last but not least I wanna say thanks to Jenny (I hope I spelled your name right).
She is the beautiful girl on the other end of the camera and made this session even more special.

 

Now enjoy the photos:

Donauinselfest 2011 – A Great Day

Donauinselfest is a huge festival in Vienna…a lot of music….a little bit of rain (like every year).
This time we watched Sido, Train and Söhne Mannheims.
It was a super nice day with you guys….

 

Check out the video and the photos to see how crowded and how great the atmosphere was.
