Well, it is spring now. But i cannot see it. Q quick look out of my window shows: clouds, rain, cold weather conditions. Hey, spring where are you ?? Okay, than it is up to YOU building your own “Fairy of Spring”, like i did. Perhaps heaven will send you some warm sunbeam.

Olympus E-M5 cam, what else ??

And suddenly the sky exploded. Firework and lasershow melting together into one gigantic play of light and living colors. A stunning event in the cold night. But worth seeing. If you can join the next year it will be again on the same location on the beach, 29. March 2014. See you there

Thousands of of visitors, crowed on the frozen beach of Zingst, waiting for the grand opening of the “Umweltfotofestival” which is an spectacular laser and firework show. It has now about -20°C, we all wrapped in layers of anti-freeze materials. 3 pairs of gloves on the fingers, 3 Jackets, two pairs of shoes, lots of Wodka. And here it comes: The awake of the Dragon, heading for the sky…

Out for a walk

Out for a walk. Even in very cold weather. Take your “always with you camera” with your “walk around lens” on it it and simply do it. Go and look for your pictures.

In this picture you see a frozen river which was last time frozen 15 years ago. I went onto the ice and had some sweet hours trying NOT to crash on that slippery ice. That was fun ! I did it in the early morning, so just a few other persons were on ice too. When i left, the river was crowed with thousand and thousands of people.

Olympus E-P3, ISO 400, f6-3, 1/250 second, Zuiko 12 mm. No flash here. But manual exposure to get the right overall exposure settings.
