Been doing some freehand motion tests tonight. It was freezing but I think i have the speed to exposure ratio right. Next step is steadying the movement.
The distance covered was around 70m in 56 seconds with the 24-105 at ISO 50 and 24mm.

Well oh lord it's tearing us apart
Way to love is holding on to your heart
And I would never be the one to start
The way to love is holding on to your heart

And I held you in the coldest days
I held you in the coldest ways
I never know what to start to pick up and change

And our love is locked in an empty home
In a creaky chest pumping through an empty stone
And I would never be the one to hold
Your creaky chest holding an empty stone

Our love was holding on through the frostbitten dawn
I never know what to start to pick up and change
 Oh I held you in the coldest days  I held you in the coldest ways  I never know what to start to pick up and change    Done with the 24-105 at ISO400 F11 while going sleigh riding yesterday at the Kohlhof near Heidelberg.

We took the sleighs out to Kohlhof again today, but unlike yesterday, there wasn't blue sky and sun, but strong winds, constant snowing and heavy fog starting to creep up on us.
All sounds were muffled, but you could hear the joy of people shouting while speeding down the hill and still ... ghostly due to the foggy blur that left us to ourselves.

Done with the 100mm F2.8L at ISO 800 F2.8 and 1/160sec.
This is a first test shot for the just remember series. Lets see how many of those I get.
This version of the magnificent Pixies song is just to beautiful to pass by. Great Cover.

Oh - stop

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind [3x]

Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

I was swimmin' in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind the rocks
Except the little fish  But they told me, he swears  Tryin' to talk to me, coy koi.    Where is my mind [3x]    Way out in the water  See it swimmin' ?    With your feet in the air and your head on the ground  Try this trick and spin it, yeah  Your head will collapse  If there's nothing in it  And you'll ask yourself    Where is my mind [3x]    Oh  With your feet in the air and your head on the ground  Oh  Try this trick and spin it, yeah

The Theodor-Heuss-Rhine River Bridge (Theodor-Heuss-Rheinbrücke) also known as the Autobahnbrücke Frankenthal (Autobahn Bridge, Frankenthal) is a bridge that spans the Rhine River along Autobahn 6 and connects the regions of Rhineland-Palatinate with Baden-Wuerttemberg. The four-lane bridge crosses the upper Rhine north of the cities of Ludwigshafen and Mannheim in an east-west direction on the motorway connecting Saarbrücken, Kaiserslautern, Mannheim, and Viernheim. The length of the entire span, which consists of the main river span and two land spans, is over a kilometer long. The land span on the western side is somewhat longer, because the west bank is flatter than the east.

The bridge construction began in 1938. On 12 December 1940 a major accident occurred when the frame collapsed. The construction was then suspended because of the Second World War. Work on the bridge resumed in 1948 and was completed in 1964.

The bridge has no shoulders along the roadway which results in kilometer-long traffic jams during maintenance work and after accidents. A walkway is available along the center of the bridge that allows walkers and cyclists to cross the Rhine. A staircase in the suspension towers allows access to the walkway

A gridshell is a structure which derives its strength from its double curvature (in the same way that a fabric structure derives strength from double curvature), but is constructed of a grid or lattice.

The grid can be made of any material, but is most often wood (similar to garden trellis) or steel.

Gridshells were pioneered in the 1896 by Russian engineer Vladimir Shukhov in constructions of exhibition pavilions of the All-Russia industrial and art exhibition 1896 in Nizhny Novgorod.

Large span timber gridshells are commonly constructed by initially laying out the main lath members flat in a regular square or rectangular lattice, and subsequently deforming this into the desired doubly curved form. This can be achieved by pushing the members up from the ground, as in the Mannheim Multihalle. More recent projects such as the Savill Garden gridshell were constructed by laying the laths on top of a sizeable temporary scaffolding structure which is removed in phases to let the laths settle into the desired curvature.

When we went to the cemetary today to clean my grandparents grave, my daughter picked up the flying dandelion and for a fragile moment, it just set there, before it went on its way...

Take me to the docks, there's a ship without a name
It is sailing to the middle of the sea
The water there is deeper than anything you've ever seen
...Jump right in and swim until you freeze

I will remember your face
'Cause I am still in love with that place
But when the stars are the only things we share
Will you be there?

Money came like rain to your hands while you were waiting
For that cold long promsie to appear
People in the churches started singing above their hands
They say "My God is a good God and he cares"
 I will remember your face  'Cause I am still in love with that place  When the stars are the only things we share  Will you be there?    I've got a plan  I've got an atlas in my hands  I'm gonna turn when I listen to the lessons that I've learned     Done with the 100 F2.8L at ISO800 and 1/4000tsec. Adjusted the curves and applied a C04 Cross Process.
