Dance the night away

kweide — Tue, 09 Sep 2014 07:45:04 +0000

A stunning dance performance in the deep night, performed while a local party in the small village of Palma, Sicily. It was bad light, high speed dance movements but E-M1 caught the moments.

So trust your cam and try it yourself. You will be surprised of the result

Rider

I thought back, i remembered long forgotten times. And suddenly it came back to my mind: The Palio ! What an event. A horserace, a rough one, on a rough ground, with strong and fast horses and even more stronger and faster riders. All of them so proud and sure to be the winner. We know, it can be only one !

And he was not the winner. His horse arrived way before him. But is was fun and such a great fight. Here you can see him and his furious black horse. Proud and full of power.

The fast and the ….

Strolling in the cold ancient Dresden along the Elbe and wondering about the hordes of young guys in Santa Claus costumes. Accompanied by young girls , well supplied with drinks (including alcoholic ), organized in small groups of Santas, all along the historic buildings on the Elbe. Wondering whats going on, questions in our faces until we saw the sign : A competition : Santa Claus Season sack race … cool … I thought. And before I could even begin to change the lens accordingly ( had the 12mm on my EM1), BOOOM, the wild things go. They went off like shot from the rubber band.

This gentleman was so breathtakingly fast , I barely could follow him . His technique , short jumps, and so insanely fast …. he outperformed, he outclassed ALL . Well, at least the first hop of his opponents teams. Others gave up exhausted , yet others were probably already too immersed in the mulled wine and lay , shuddering with laughter on the floor. That was just great.
And I ? With the EM1, at the height of the action, with the 12 mm ….. and Dresdner Stollen in my stomach … LOL

Whether or not we had fun ? What a question …

Rock it !

Vintage

The rock band i had the joy to see and hear was named “Vintage Area” and their lead singer was dressed a bit vintage, more steampunk alike. So i decided to convert his portrait at the stage a bit vintage too :) and in BW

Revenge

Poor guy, he lost his fight. You saw it in the past pictures. But he asked for revenge. And this time it was just a short fight. A quick move, a side step. One scream and his dagger took a deep dive thru his enemies body.

His punch was so powerfull it even lifted his opponents body off the ground. That is revenge !

Passion

This one at last. It shows how intense the fight was. How much passion and power both fighters brought to the ground. Crossing blades, sparkles around them. But only one can be the winner. You already know the outcome. Enjoy

It is a cruel game. Those two guys showing an excellent art of knife fight, an in fight, fast and furious. They had no fear handling and managing such dangerous weapons

But at last there must be a winner, One to survive, one to loose, one to die … must it ???

In the end he took his life … but only in the show !

Power of voice

kweide — Mon, 02 Jul 2012 08:07:52 +0000

The voice is a powerful instrument and often massivly underrated. With voice one can impresse, steer discussion, cause extreme emotions or simply use it as a weapon. This guy at the left, used it as such and powerfull and loud as well as a concentrated scream.

Screaming loud against his opponent caused him to fall down,, to nearly give up. Yes it was fun, just a fight demonstration at a medieval market. But impressive enough to create this picture for you. Here i tried to visualize his vocal power by the structure in the upper part of the picture which fills the complete room and made that pressure forcing the right guy :) to bow his knees and to fall down as well….
