Muenster during cold winter days

admin — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 16:18:19 +0000

This year winter has been cold with a lot of snow in Muenster. I’ve been doing some night (and day) photography and finally I got a chance to upload some of them in my photoblog.
The first and second photos are taken before the Christmas holidays showing the St. Labmerti church in Muenster and the other three are taken from Burg Vischering, a famous water castle in the area.
To see the photos in bigger size in the photoblog click on them. I used my new Tamron AF 10-24 objective (Canon mount) and a tripod for all these photos.

I thought I’ll also share a few words about the objective. The picture quality is great, and it definitely is good value for the money. If compared to the ultra wide Canon (or Nikon) objectives it is relatively cheap. The build quality is also relatively good and there is a 5 year guaranty on it. Here you can read the dpreview on the objective.

Sky tower Auckland

I have added a few of my pictures from Sky Tower in Auckland to my Photoblog. I tried to include views from all sides of the tower. I took some of the pictures from the restaurant were we had a nice 3 course lunch plus wine, which cost only 65 NZ$. Taking into account the quality of the lunch and that we didn’t have to pay entrance for the tower this is very cheap! So if you happen to visit Sky tower remember to reserve a table for lunch in the restaurant and enjoy a great meal with a nicer view!

Comfort and Joy!

Arash’s Photo says it all. This is one of the posters of Ahmadinejad’s campaign for the election a few years ago. It reads “Maximum comfort and Joy for all Iranian people”.
He just forgot to mention that by “All” he just meant those “All” that think the same as he does. The rest of the people are not included in “All”, so they don’t need any comfort, let alone the Joy!
