Hello down there…

Raaawww!

It started raining soon after.

wpid-07-2010-07-26-18-311.jpg

Didn’t have the time to shoot my food lately. But I took the time to bake a quick cake.

wpid-09-2010-07-26-18-311.jpg

Going to town.

Going home.

wpid-14-2010-07-26-18-311.jpg

Finally made it up there again, first time this year. Went up twice, got to train at least a little bit for what’s coming next week.

wpid-24-2010-07-20-22-33.jpg

…und runter. Das ganze ein „paar“ mal.

wpid-27-2010-07-20-22-33.jpg

6 m Loch fertig. Nix gefunden außer Dreck und Steinen, dabei nur Schweiß und ein wenig Blut verloren. Alles wie’s sein soll.

Summer. Lots of it.

wpid-05-2010-07-14-08-44.jpg

But finally some rain, and a tiny bit of cool air.

The 24-70 F2.8 makes for a decent macro lens, at least when you don’t have a dedicated macro at hand.

This would have been a good place to spend a few hours reading the literature I carried with me.

wpid-31-2010-07-6-00-31.jpg

Quick peek at the map decided otherwise.

Third game. Anticipation…

wpid-01-2010-06-24-20-22.jpg

Tasted much better than the weird color combo might suggest the eye.

wpid-02-2010-06-24-20-22.jpg

First steps to become an environmental physicist… it’s just mud. As you might have noticed I don’t post new entries as often as usual any more. That’s because of all the mud, well, more likely because of what is behind it: I finally started to work on my diploma thesis.

wpid-12-2010-06-18-22-18.jpg

I’m hardly any good with compliments, but since many people told me lately how much they enjoy my pictures, both in the comments of the blog as well as in person, I’d like to say this… Thank you! =)

The last shot with the D70.

wpid-04-2010-06-18-22-18.jpg

Cleaning the old D70’s sensor before it appears on eBay.

I also cleaned the newer bodies – even though the D700 even has a built-in cleaning mechanism it does collect significantly more dirt than any other camera body I had before. Good thing I’m comfortable cleaning the sensor myself. The best one so far was the D5000 – it’s cleaning mechanism was so good I never had to clean the sensor myself during the 10 months I had the camera.

wpid-57-2010-06-13-13-16.jpg

The old ones. I sold the D5000, the D200 will stay for work and the D70 on the right (which I got back from where I sold it, it’s my very first DSLR) will be on eBay soon, probably some time after the football world cup.

wpid-60-2010-06-13-13-16.jpg

And another round of shots from the weekend, back at home in Lemgo. Good to have a polarizing filter when the sky is that clear. This one is a little bit long, many sport shots at the end.

The last handball game of the season, had to try the D700.

wpid-14-2010-06-11-09-54.jpg
wpid-15-2010-06-11-09-54.jpg

Those referees are always in the way. Well, the shot isn’t that good anyhow. By the way – unlike 99% of all other shots in this blog, the handball shots are cropped. It’s a game way too fast and hard to predict to get really good compositions right out of the camera.

A contact sport. It’s not unusual to have a player with a ripped jersey on the field, without a resulting penalty.

wpid-21-2010-06-11-09-54.jpg

Lucky shot: back pass from a simulated attack jump to throw off the defense (and in most cases the trailing photographer).
