Ludwigshöhle

Cool little cave. If I were some cave-dude back in the day, this wouldn’t have been too bad of a place for a pad.

A bit tricky photo wise. 3 shots total: 1st for outside cave and silhouettes, next two for exposures inside cave. A bit of layer masking in Photoshop and here you go. Hardest part was from the people who kept standing in the background, wondering what I was doing or if there was something really cool they must be missing; as that could be the only reason there’s some guy in a cave with a really big camera on a tripod…

Allgäu in Winter

Made a short little road trip down to the Allgäu region over the weekend, or in other words, to the mountains. The trip was also to test out ‘the van,’ which we are going to take on a 3 week trip to Scotland next month. Weather was hit and miss, but managed a few photos between the snow and rain…

Nürnberger Frühlingsfest

Nice day on Sunday, so what better way to spend part of the day at a German Volksfest.

Historic note: The large building in the background is the old Nazi congress hall. The largest building remaining from that era and is part of the larger complex of the Reichsparteitagsgelände (nazi party rally grounds)
