wrapping up the past: klaudia and michele

michele booked the photo-"studio" at the university of applied
science in hagenberg for the 12th of april 2007. we planned to
try out portrait-photography. additionally we invited klaudia
(yes, the girl with the horses and the new lens again), since
she enjoys posing in front of the camera - a rare habit. but
unfortunately michele got sick that afternoon, so klaudia and i
went to the studio alone. inside the "hype"-studio (i wonder
what the guy was thinking when he came up with that name for a
studio) we had some hot lights with soft boxes, diffusers, and
umbrellas. we did not make use of flash-lights (since there were
no flashes anyway and i still don't know how to handle them to
get good results). as michele was sick and i do not like to have
pictures taken of me, klaudia had to be the model all the time -
lucky me. i really learned a lot this day since i could try out
many things and klaudia was a wonderful model. we planned to re-
do such a session, but this time with michele, klaudia, me and a
model that will pose for the three of us. poor model...

two days later michele felt better again. in fact, he felt that
good that he wanted to go to the traunsee to go kite-surfing. he
invited me to join and of course i did so. the traunsee is a
wonderful lake surrounded by mountains. i took my bike with me
(yep, michele hat an old VW-bus that was big enough to carry all
our stuff) and drove along the lakeside. i found a little road
that led right to the place where michele was kite-surfing. so i
had the opportunity to take some pictures of him. but suddenly a
cord broke so michele lost control over his kite. you can see it
on the pics at the URL below, slide 46 to 51. after getting back
to the shore and getting back his board, it was drifted away from
the beach, we drove back home again. although some things did not
flow that smoothly it was a nice day at the traunsee.

coming up next in the "wrapping up the past:"-series: yet another
visit to a zoo and another chick that digs horses.
