About 1200 people started to shoot 24 different topics in 12 h. Today I got a mail, that I'm one of the 200 best members, therefore I'm looking forward to the award ceremony on 25th of November in Vienna (19:00, MesseCongressCenter). ... http://cprokop.org/blog/2008/11/18/photomarathon-in-vienna/ Den heutigen Eintrag schreibe ich einmal in Deutsch: 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. ... http://cprokop.org/blog/2008/10/29/5-fotomarathon-in-wien/ I'm studying electrical engineering for 2 weeks now and it's harder than I thought that it would be. Espacially mathematics and physics consume a lot of time. My lectures (Vorlesungen) are: In Deutsch: Grundlagen der Elektrotechnik (VO...Vorlesung, UE...Uebung), Mathematik A (VO, UE), Technik und Ethik (VO), Physik (VO, UE), Chemie (VO) und ... http://cprokop.org/blog/2008/10/19/technical-university-of-graz/ On Saturday the 27th of September there was a Photowalk in Eisenstadt organised by Andreas Hafenscher. I think we were 10 photowalkers and it was really funny, even though the weather wasn't perfect. But I have to criticise the public transport system from Graz to Eisenstadt. With the train you can ... http://cprokop.org/blog/2008/10/01/photowalk-eisenstadt/ Last week I had some fun, ok it wasn't that funny, with creating a new website (in German) with the help of my younger brother Lukas. On this new site I will summarize my last 4 trips to foreign countries. As far I've finished the longest part, the trip to China. ... http://cprokop.org/blog/2008/09/16/my-new-website/ On 26th of August I crossed the 'Ragga-Schlucht', it's a canyon in Carinthia, for my first time. A few photos of this canyon: http://cprokop.org/blog/2008/09/10/ragga-schlucht/ 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. In the Internet-fora I read that the gradings are the result of 8-BIT-JPEGs and above all the different quality ... http://cprokop.org/blog/2008/08/20/colour-gradings-in-my-sunset-shots/ Today I had a longer tour with my bike, than normally. Klagenfurt-Velden-Rosegg-Ressnig-Maria Rain-Klagenfurt (~85 km) I also took my CAM along: http://cprokop.org/blog/2008/08/18/photobiking/ Today I (I also met nomenestomen) visited the Alpenhighlandgames 2008 in Schloß Hallegg in Wölfnitz. The funny games (in German): - Bama schmeißn (Weitwerfen von Bäumen, Tageshöchstweite etwa 12,5 m) - Bierle zupfn (0,5 l-Krug möglichst schnell austrinken, Bestzeit etwa 3,2 s) - Eia wixn (ein rohes Ei unbeschadet möglichst weit werfen, bester Wurf ... http://cprokop.org/blog/2008/08/17/alpenhighlandgames/ Today we (all together 10 people) cleared the garret of the former house of my grandparents. There we have unasked animals (always the same species) for years (these animals are able to struggle through bricks). Here you can see one of this shy animals (a younger one) in our house: They are ... http://cprokop.org/blog/2008/08/15/sweet-but-not-nonhazardous/
