Can I atleast dream a little bit?

My dad was able to pick me up last Friday from boarding school.
We drove to a mall to do some Christmas shopping. Well....we went to the electronic section, like guys always do. While my dad tried some navigation systems out, I asked for the new
Canon 5D Mk II. They said that they are out of stock till February.
How ever, they had a Canon 1Ds Mark III in a vitrine. It becomes even better, there was a 300mm 2.8 mounted on it.
I asked a employer if I can "try the beast out," and JACKPOT!



The first two pictures where taken with the 300mm lens across the room.

The last two pictures where taken with a 16-35mm 2.8 II. Both pictures are showing my dad.



If you care, take a look on the pictures in full resolution, and the EXIF data.
They are straight out of the camera and converted from Raw to Jpeg in CS4


Edit: The pictures where compressed by blogger. Normally, they are 7-14mb big and 21mp huge.

Above Potsdam again???

Yes, Torsten and I went on a walk a week back. Up on the Brauhausberg to the parlament. You have a great view over the city.

I played recently with my 50mm 1.8 lens again, and the beautiful deep of field.

I took all pictures down in the activity room of the boarding school.

Above Potsdam

A couple weeks ago, Max Weber, a fellow classmate helped me to get on the St. Nikolai church.
The church was destroyed in the second WW, and was rebuilt after.
A beautiful piece of architecture.

Thanks to Max and his Dad for getting me up there.

German Christmas Markets

Christmas markets are really fun.
There are a lot of different things to eat and to buy around!
I also really enjoy all the colors and the different kinds if smell!




The last two pictures where taking in a book store!
The guy know where each book is in this room!
