			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Den heutigen Eintrag schreibe ich einmal in Deutsch:</p>
<p>Also letzten Samstag war ich einer von knapp 1200 Teilnehmern des Fotomarathons in Wien. Beginn war um 9:00 am Messegelände. Man bekam die Speicherkarte bzw. einen Analogfilm, eine Tasche mit Stadtplan, einer Eintrittskarte für die Modellbaumesse, einer Packung Mannerschnitten und einem Red Bull. Die Themenliste wurde ca. eine halbe Stunde später verteilt.</p>
<p>Man bekommt also 24 Themen, hat 12 h Zeit und muss die Fotos in der richtigen Reihenfolge in *.jpg abfotografieren (es dürfen auch nur 24 Fotos + Startnummer auf der Speicherkarte abgegeben werden, die nicht nachbearbeitet werden dürfen).</p>
<p>Mit der Themenliste hatte ich keine wirkliche Freude, da die Themen für meinen Geschmack viel zu eingeschränkt und auch zu sehr auf die Sponsoren konzentriert waren.</p>
<p>Naja, wie auch immer, ich habe mich durch die Themen geschossen (ideenlos war ich beim 16. Thema: Radio Arabella) und habe meine Speicherkarte gegen 17:00 abgegeben (man kann die Fotos im Dezember wieder abholen).</p>
<p>Die Themenliste:</p>
<p>0. Eigene Startnummer</p>
<p>1. Modellbaumesse: alles was fliegt</p>
<p>2. Modellbaumesse: alles was schwimmt und rollt</p>
<p>3. Messe Wien: Faszination aus Glas und Stahl</p>
<p>4. Red Bull verleiht&#8230;</p>
<p>5. Der Wiener Prater</p>
<p>6. Umweltfreundlicher Verkehr</p>
<p>7. Leben am Wasser</p>
<p>8. Brücken verbinden</p>
<p>9. Herbstimpression im Park</p>
<p>10. Hoch hinaus</p>
<p>11. Der Steffl - Wahrzeichen Wiens</p>
<p>12. Manner&#8230; mag man eben!</p>
<p>13. Lebenskünstler</p>
<p>14. Farbenspiele</p>
<p>15. Alles Leben ist Lernen</p>
<p>16. Radio Arabella - 100% Wien</p>
<p>17. Wiener Gastlichkeit</p>
<p>18. Auf und davon</p>
<p>19. Zwei wie Hund und Katz</p>
<p>20. Hallo Taxi</p>
<p>21. Ein Foto sagt mehr als 1000 Worte</p>
<p>22. Citylife in den Wiener Einkaufstraßen</p>
<p>23. Ist&#8217;s Natur? Ist&#8217;s Kunst?</p>
<p>24. Alles dreht sich</p>
<p>Die 20 € Startgeld für den Marathon fand ich ok, die Themenauswahl gefiel mir allerdings nicht und die Atmosphäre ist nicht so angenehm wie bei den Photowalks.</p>
<p>Am Abend habe ich mir noch den Cirque du Soleil - Varekai angesehen - wieder einmal ein Spitzengesamtkonzept: lustig, tolle Musik, unterhaltsam und spektakulär.</p>

<p>I am going upload a few pictures of my daily routine  in a few weeks (I have to get my cam Canon A710 from Klagenfurt firstly). But I&#8217;ve got one shot so far (it looks like the prison of Graz-Karlau, but it&#8217;s inside the TU):</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Saturday the 27th of September there was a Photowalk in Eisenstadt organised by <a href="http://www.webnfoto.com" target="_blank">Andreas Hafenscher</a>. I think we were 10 photowalkers and it was really funny, even though the weather wasn&#8217;t perfect.</p>
<p>But I have to criticise the public transport system from Graz to Eisenstadt. With the train you can go via Bruck a. d. Mur, Wiener Neustadt and Soporn (Hungary). Departing in Wiener Neustadt it is also possible to take a bus to Eisenstadt . Nevertheless it took about 4 h to get from Graz to Eisenstadt.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of my biggest problems with my (landscape) photos are the colour gradings (Farbabstufungen), at the moment. Especially sunset pictures without clouds and smooth colour gradients (Farbverläufe) are affected by this problem.</p>
<p>In the Internet-fora I read that the gradings are the result of 8-BIT-JPEGs and above all the different quality and settings of our TFT-panels, mainly the brightness and contrast.</p>
<p>My answer was to commute my RAW into Black&amp;White files. The BW-gradients are easier to handle with, I think.</p>
<p>Nevertheless there is one coloured shot (unfortunately it&#8217;s another shot with visible colour gradings):</p>
