After a nice night chat with Mathias I wanted to take some nightshots with the sky obove the restaurant, we had been sitting in (Eoipso). But then I choked the 5D a tiny bit and the focus screen fell out. I just saw something through the viewfinder took the lens of and down fell the focusing screen. I mangaed to find it in the dark. Shooting was finished, as was the focusing screen - scratched. I am glad I stll had the original at home.

We were hiking down from the SAC House. It was raining and we looked for shelter under some fir trees to rest. It was very dark - too dark for a f4.0 lens. So I light the scene with my flash and am posting it here, because I like tha natural ambiente and the dusk in the background.

Light: 430EX on camera, 50mm, -2EV, ambient also dialed down 0.67 EV,

We went for a hike in the mountains with friends and are staying in this SAC house for the night. We had a adventures walk over snowfiled and are tired and glowing (see the face of Bettina). This is my lovely wife and our younger sun just before dinner arrived.
As I was packing the night before, I previewed this scene: I packed a Flash, a gorillapod and a Skyporttrigger to light the usual dark hut scenes. Feeling like a freak, I unpacked my stuff and attached my strobe on a pole of the Bookshelf right of the scene. It worked to my pleasure. I guess, I am a freak - carying an DSLR and Strobist gear over the Swiss mountains to make a shot like this.

Light: 430EX bouncing with 1/4 power, 24mm of the books of a bookshelf manhigh to the right of this scene, camera on manual mode.

Almost lost my head today - doing administrational work on my day of - at home....
This is something I wanted to try yesterday, but there was no time left. Try to reconstruct the lightening, if you want.

Light: 430EX, 1/4 power, 24mm in a reflecting silver umbrella, held in my other hand slightly infront of me, playing around with it.
Ambient at night cut down to dark with ISO 100, f16 and a black sweater.

This is an ilegal photo, so don't look.
Why? I tried a lens today that is just a preversion and doesen't have the approved quality yet. And as a gentleman agreement, he said, don't publish it on the internet. Am I a gentleman? Sometimes maybe. - ;-)
I just tried it out on the street, where a college from older times passed by. I aked him if I could shoot him, but diden't ask if I can publish him. So double ilegal here. I counlden't resist the temptation.

And forget about the EXIFs, they are wrong.

Jose - a portuguese crane operator. Thank you for modeling. Send me a Email, if you want your picture.

My son Lias liked the builders, when we were passing by looking for my model of the day. So I asked him and he was very kind. He even reattached his remote controle after washing his hands after the end of his work day and turned the crane back on for us, altough I just wanted to make a picture of him - this man is real and not acting. I like that.
