Washington DC, December 2006

i was sorting through my pictures recently and found these pictures from my trip to washington dc in december 2006. i spent most of a morning walking around the washington mall, freezing my fingers off. i got to see all the sights though.

one of the films i had broke, so the pictures of the vietnam memorial didn’t really come out. i was a bit annoyed at that, but it’s a reason to go back again. :)

pictures

the pictures were taken with a nikon F80 on Ilford FP4 film. most of them were taken with a nikkor 24mm f/2.8 with a red filter. most of the pictures have only been slightly cropped to get rid of some white borders from the development process. some were straightened. :)

weekend in kufstein

i spent the weekend in kufstein with eva. of course, i took the camera with me. as always. ;)

saturday afternoon, we went to ebbs for coffee and cake. the place we went to (i can’t remember the name) has an amazing view of the inn valley around kufstein:

on sunday, i had a surprise call from my mother that she was in kufstein. so, after breakfast, off for coffee. i knocked down the saturation on this picture in camera, trying to emulate the washed out colours of canons:

in the afternoon, we went for a walk up the thierberg in fantastic weather. it was signposted as 35 minutes, but it only took us about 20. ;) would have been quicker if i hadn’t stopped every now and then to snap:

the view from the top of the watchtower is fairly amazing:

there’s also a small little chapel as part of a hermitage. all in all, it was a fairly busy but relaxing weekend.

13 pictures from the weekend. nothing spectacular, but i’m slowly getting the hang of getting things right first time in camera. :)
