A swarm of birds against the setting sun.

University.

Beautiful evening light! Shot with a polarizing filter, haven’t used that one in ages.

Next day. Still nice and sunny, but cold.

Quick snapshot on the way to a friend’s party.

Shot by Nils.

Shot by Hans. Very serious face…

The table wasn’t… too predictable.

Snow! Again!?

Lots of snow, and then some sun.

Hey there! These are obviously cropped shots.

^^

Heidelberg.

Some light reading. Not that I would have the time… :/

We declared spring. Had beautiful weather during the last days.

Cooking.

Shot by Christoph.

Spätzle.

Before.

After.

Baking.

Accident. Very dry and cheap wood :/

Delivery 1.

Coffee. The same one I drowned one of my physics books in minutes later.

Getting physics explained by Tina at the university.

Christoph’s blog.

On my way to the university.

Learning at the university.

Cooking again. Veeery simple, very fast.

Delivery 2. My R-Strap RS-7 finally made it over the Atlantic… The first camera strap that really suits my needs quite well.

And a little adspace:

Breakfast.

Planting herbs.

Saturday night with friends.

Kaiserschmarrn.

Riding through Heidelberg.

Blue skies, some clouds and enormously strong winds. And a little much processing.

Watched a good friend’s volleyball match.

My Logitech bluetooth headphones died this week. Anything beyond reasonable repair gets dissected…

Replaced them with a simple and much cheaper bluetooth audio receiver, which gets its signal directly from the MacBook and even has a much longer battery runtime.

Baking.

Cooking.

Enjoying!

Sunlight! Finally!

Very simple pasta sauce. It’s taste is reciprocal to the amount of work to create it ^^

Breaking news! Lost much of my brake shoes in the snow this winter.

We officially declared winter to be over with a picnic on the Neckarwiese ^^

Baking again.

Pesto ^^

Gave the blogging client Blogo a test run with this post. The best OSX client so far for my needs, but still not as good as Windows Live Writer.

Made a few prints lately. I will test including an advertisement at the end of the blog entry every now and then, hopefully to fund my prints.

Decoration. By the way – these are the kind of shots you see on here, therefore the peculiar editing.

Genesis of a cake. Just for fun! ^^

I think a bigger plate, better tools and more practice would be helpful, though this is the visually nicest variant of this cake I’ve made so far.

=)

Winter took it’s toll on my bike as well, not only on my health. Got to fix this soon.

Lots of assorted shots from the past few days. The one above is one of my favorite shots so far this year.

New gear – a large umbrella and the means to attach it to my tripod.

Waffles again.

Brunching at a friends place. Anonymity provided by Julia ^^

Another bike shot.

Heidelberg.

Baking a cake.

Later that day, sushi at Franzi’s place.

I failed.

We took a short peek at the carnival parade in Heidelberg – it was awful (and in that way reinforced my overall impression of carnival). But first some other shots from the past days.

Enjoying and…

…exploring.

Baking waffles!

Mmmh…

Cooking…

Bookstore in the city, sunlight… yes, finally some sun! ^^

It’s at about 166.500 releases, the D5000 is at about 32.000… the mirror problems seemed to be caused by low temperatures and broken batteries, it never happened again.

Many black & white shots this time, of course by processing from the color RAW file.

How nice of them to stand just there that moment…

City filling up with people…

Officials, being officially happy.

Lots of alcohol and somewhat fake happiness. Ugly.

Feathered sorceress’ hat.

Remains of many days of snow.

Driving by bus. Still a little sick.

Reading the paper in the tram.

Traveling through Heidelberg, mostly by tram since I was sick most of this week :/

Christoph.

Franzi, through my new lens.

My new lens ^^

Going by tram again.

Last set of pictures from Oberammergau. It’s been quite many images, even though I reduced the slightly over 16.500 images I brought home to around 1.000 – still a huge number for 4 days.

Returning to the first photo spot after the first race of the day was through.

A little bit of blue sky!

That’s how it looked in the morning.

Taking some low shots, the only ones I took of the athletes with the 24-70. See that flying cup and the bright yellow isodrink spilling? That’s why I didn’t stay there too long ^^

My favorite shot from the whole event.

Waiting for athletes to pass…   

Shot half of the images on that day with the D5000, first time I really had to fall back to it as a backup body. My D200 didn’t always get the mirror back down after a shutter release and said ‘ERR’… annoying, but likely a problem with the cold temperatures and bad batteries.

Done…

One last view… and back to the finishing line we went.

Athletes, checking their race results.

Another colleague, hiding behind her lens ^^

Bye!

Second day, first race…

Quite the nice scenery, we even had a little bit of sun on sunday.

Looking for different photo spots.

Me, standing in as a placeholder ^^

The guy hangs around almost anywhere. Bavaria…

Hacking wood for an oven.

It still snowed, but it was colder and not as wet, so I could skip the plastic rain cover.

Here they come…

One of my favorite shots on that day.

Renewing the tracks for the second race.
