Enjoying an evening concert during Eaux Claires 2016. A moment of community and tranquility captured. My sister and I return to this music and art festival each year to explore music and art. It is a wonderful place to meet and communicate with new people and artists.
I did again the sharp vs unsharp double shots. this time from the balcony on the 14th floor of a building in berlin kreuzberg where you can go up if you're lucky and door is open. shots taken with an AE-1 and tele and my common Canon 300EOS - the difference is visible. they turned out great again. anyway on some the tele did a bit too much bokeh. ah yes, and there are a few from gleisdreickpark again. you can see my first try here: http://www.lomography.com/homes/bloomchen/albums/2030874-the-sharp-and-out-of-focus-double-series

A great and beautiful place near of Lucerne: the Pilatus Mountain is easily accessible, by wandering a few hours or per cable car. The summit is 2128 meters high and the view on the Lucerne Lake and the whole countryside is just breathtaking!

There is a connectivity of creativity. I met this women on a walk. She was totally lost in her art. I asked, if i can take a picture. She agreed, but she hardly noticed me. Just after i finished my shots and I thanked here, we chatted a little bit. Anyway, I was deeply impressed, if somebody loses herself in art. I know this feeling: For example, when I am in the darkroom, the outside world doesn't exist anymore. There is just darkness, the negative and the image, that's all.
We had a great time on our way to the lake, beautiful panoramas on a perfect day light. Once arrived at the lake, I climbed to the top of a hill to shoot panoramic amazing views. the view was breathless...
On my way back down the hill I dropped my sprocket, I saw the scene in my mind in 1/2 a second, slow motion, the camera opened straight after hitting the rock, and a the film totally exposed...
I was ruined, I didn't want to process it but in the end I gave the roll with a bunch of others to the lab and only 3 pictures came out with strong leeks, but at least I have something to help me remember this journey!
During my stay in Maccagno, I was fascinated by the view from the house we rented: from the hill, there was this stunning panorama of the lake, oriented full south, so that I could watch the sunrise coming from behind the mountains on the left and the sunset when the light disappeared behind the mountains on the right. I really became obsessed with this view, shooting it a lot of times at various moments of the day, mainly morning and end of the day. Here's a little selection of some of these views, hope you enjoy it and understand my compulsive obsession to shoot this panoramic view...
A few weeks before the trip to italy I spoke to a few lomographers, because I wanted to take some pink italy shots. So I followed their advices and got me some rolls of Sensia, Astia and Velvia. These are the first results from the Sensia. As usual I like the results, but let´s face it: I am really surprised and a bit disappointed.. Where are the pink tones? Any ideas? What went wrong, guys? :)
