i am a geek alright. everyone who remotely knows me will agree that i am kinda quirky. so what’s it like to set up a tent among 3000 other geeks?

in a word: mindboggling. (more…)

yesterday i spent the evening (and eventually a good part of the night) at a campfire up in the hills of the wienerwald, enjoying a cold heineken beer and snapping a couple of shots of the people around.
well, it didn’t work out as planned.
the eos 5d mkii locked up after two shots displaying an “error 20″ with a quite audible, ugly “cluck” from the shutter mechanism. you know that feeling if you have a car and manage to shift badly and the gearbox makes this spine-chilling squeal? it felt exactly like that when the camera locked up. i was advised to remove the battery and turn the camera off and on again. i did that, but the error persisted. changed the lens – to no avail.

what a great night – looking like a dork with a 2.5k € camera in hand that doesn’t even work.

what is a dork supposed to do when this happens? remove the item in question and replace it with an even dorkier one.
well, i did just that and started to play my didgeridoo.

i’ll spare you the details of that night. the camera is now working again, but i am really not comfortable with it. i am thinking about sending it in for service just to make sure.

hoffentlich sind ein paar bilder dabei, die euch gefallen.

wyk beach panorama

last week i spent my holiday on the northern border of germany, quite close to the danish border.
the island we stayed on was föhr, and the main city there is wyk.
still no idea where this might be?
take a look at google maps or at a couple of pictures that i took there.

riding never was quite my thing, but photography is. and since my cousins love horses and i love to take sports pictures this was a perfect match. the gallery shows some of the more interesting shots that came up during todays tournament. enjoy!
