Pinacotheca

Last autumn, the Luxembourgian shopping centre City Concorde contacted photo clubs across countries to ask for submissions for their Pinacotheca. Currently they are showing a selection of prints by photogen.lu members, including one of my photographs, Ocean View, printed at 7.5 by 5 metres. Yes, metres. If you want to see the oversized print, head to the escalators which connect the shopping centre’s multi-level parking lot to the main hall. I don’t know for how much longer the print will be there, so get there soon :)
Oh, and this would be a valid reason for always shooting RAW and at the camera’s full resolution. You never know when your picture gets printed at the size of a billboard!

Snobist

The Christmas holidays have started for me today. With a little bit of time on my hands before my friends from the UK arrive in Luxembourg, I went to the Prënzebierg in Pétange this afternoon. Shooting snow-covered landscapes has always been a bit of a challenge for me. With all the snow, pictures usually turn out grey and it’s difficult to get a decent composition going. I decided to try whether adding a bit of strobist gear would help. I also finally got around to trying the AC3 together with my PocketWizards. It came in very handy to control the manual power levels of the flash directly from the camera.

I’m not sure I want to do this again though, even water-resistant gear can only take so much molten snow…

Scout Vakanznomëtteg

Each summer the schoolkids from Pétange visit the scouts on the Prënzebierg for an afternoon of adventures and games. The scouts get an opportunity to interest children in the movement, and the kids get to have some fun as well as finding out whether scouting is something they’d like to see more of.
After my first attempts with DSLR video the day before I decided to practice filming a bit more.
