Graz, feeling for b/w

No need for colors, now.

I’m still waiting for the nature to grow back in spring, then I want to “waste” some fancy film on blossoms.

Now I almost convert all of my pictures into b/w.



scholarship

I’m looking forward to a photo-workshop in Salzburg (AUT). I can’t afford the fees of 1000€ for this workshop so I’ll try to get in with an scholarship. therefore I need to make a project and at the moment I’m seeking locations and topics.

Met a couple of friends to play billiard just on valentine’s day.

sigma dp1 night test..
test test test

setup:
iso 800 (normally I shoot max 200ISO)
1/20s (no problem to shoot 1/20 right out of the hand)
f4 (max aperture)
raw mode (brings I would say 30% more quality and reduces 50% noise combined with the sigma pro photo software)
manual focus, always at 2m


surprisingly the sigma is not that bad at night, after a little modification it works really nice. I took the pictures in b/w mode to reduce the color-noise.





I read..
Printed pictures are so much better than what is shown on most of the screens. If there is some money left at the end of the month I do me a favor and get one of these magazines or go to a exhibition to support the artists.

good photo-mags are really hard to find- and when you find some than they are pretty much expensive. Besides the web-media I also like to read some printed magazines like the awesome LFI or photonews. Both are in outstanding quality and have less “hardware-talk” than others.

Mobile snapshots Jan. / Feb. ’12
The winter came back and here in graz the temperatures fell down to -12°C brrrr.
Oh boy that’s to cold for any other cam than my trusted STORM.
My mobile-phone works even at that temperatures pretty good and so the shooting goes on
