The Boss is back!

"I want all you skinheads to get up on your feet. Put your braces together and your boots on your feet ... And gimme some of that oooooold Moon Stompin'!" said Roy Ellis (a.k.a. Mr. Symarip) and the crowd in Vienna's Ost-Klub went ape shit (in a very positive way)!

Dunkler als die Nacht

("Darker than the night") was one of the few Black & Death Metal concerts in this region, happening @ Culture Club, Pichlwang. Black Metal ... that equals horrible stage lighting (for photographers), corpse paint, fast guitar riffs and lots of hairy headbanging dudes in front of the stage. Not the best circumstances for photography but it sure was fun for me and my 50mm glass (and of course the other folks on and in front of the stage)! ;-)

The only downside: I always had to keep the ISO between 400 and 800, sometimes even push it up to 1,600 ...

Anyway, enjoy!

February wrap-up

It's been a quiet unproductive month for me due to the meteorological circumstances and the start of my time-consuming civilian service ... BUT there are some photos I still want to show! You might already know them from my flickr or RedBubble pages. If you haven't been there yet, check them out ;-).

So here are the photos, enjoy ...

The first photos show a weather effect we don't have very often in Austria - freezing rain. Due to the sub-zero temperatures of raindrops they form a layer of ice when hitting surfaces like branches and leafs for example ... and leave some really nice patterns & "ice sculptures". For instance the "floating" ice drop in the first photo.

Hinterstoder, Super-G

Good evening readers!

I'm back again and I've brought some new photos with me :-) This time from Hinterstoder (Austria) where I had the chance to capture the men's Super-G ... Well, not the Super-G itself nor the athletes. I simply had no clear vision towards the finish line (too many flags, drunks & poles). So I focused on people and landscape.

Ok, I'll cut the usual chit-chat. Enjoy the photos ...

The Turnip Trip

Welcome to the year 2011 on WET-photography!

Initially, I planned to do some morning shooting with the rising sun and the fallow fields but those damn clouds upset my plans. Eventually, the weather became slightly better around 10 AM so I grabbed my fast fifty and did some nice shots of the dead weeds (maybe turnips, maybe something different ... I can't tell) & other stuff.

So without wasting any more time: Here they are!

Major update

Here it is! The gigantic post summarizing all my work during December... If you have been checking out my deviantART and flickr profiles, you might already know some of those photos.

Let's start with an amazing photo I was able to shoot on November 30. It was a beautiful sunny day with fresh powder snow.
