Sunday 25th April 2010

I drove down to Mainz today to visit the Minikina Photographic Exhibition. The organisers (Besier Oehling) laid on a superb selection of varied presentations and training sessions, plus vehicles from Hollywood Cars to photograph (including this 1959 Cadillac).

(Nikon D5000 : Sigma EX 70-200mm f2.8 : f2.8 : 1/4000" : 105mm : ISO 200: 25.04.2010 14:02:30)


Karl Fisher and his team from the Greifvogelstation (Hunting Birds Station) in Hellenthal put on a tremendous display with his assorted birds of prey for everyone to enjoy and photograph ....

(Nikon D60 : Nikkor VR 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 : f3.5 : 1/640" : 18mm : ISO 200: 25.04.2010 15:12:03)



There were even smaller birds of prey for his smaller team members !!!

(Nikon D5000 : Sigma EX 70-200mm f2.8 : f2.8 : 1/640" : 70mm : ISO 200: 25.04.2010 15:00:02)

I resisted the temptation to borrow a Nikon D3 or D700 camera body free-of-charge for a couple of hours, because I knew that I would never be able to give it back, and I would have had to leave my passport as security against exactly that scenario.
