Well hello there i´m back from my Vacation in Morocco. I was visiting my brother in laws family there. It was a very good vacation very interesting and i shot a load of photos. There will be another time when i write more and show the pictures, though reworking them will need quite some time......since they are 547 pictures and they´re all RAWs wich need to be reworked.

Now back to the present. Today i was on the second day of the Oldtimertreffen Hahnweide. Mind you its not for cars but for airplanes. Right now i´m bouncing of the walls and still insanely happy i´ve been there. The sights, the smell, the SOUND...............Yeehaw........you gotta love the sound. I didn´t get there as early as i wanted, since i didn´t sleep well last night, but i still was very interesting. I saw flying one of the FW-190-A8/N the replicas of the A8 version, a spitfire MK XIX, P-51D Mustang, some very good gliders, a Sea fury, T-6 texans...............and drummroll........tada a Bleriot XI from 1917 the 1910 model......yep that thing is an original one of the two owned by Mikael Carlson. This one is the Thulin-Bleriot wich is the oldest in the world, well thats as far as i know since the organisator said that. Got some shots of it flying........Well action shots are hard to do. I had some trouble with the camera..........the contrast af is very slow and very unprecise against the sky, so mainly i had to work with a by the thumb manual focus, wich let me to use the -aperture automatic mode........since i can change the the shutter speed or aperture while manually focusing, wich worked quite good. The reaction time of the camera is still quite slow even without automatic focus but you can do some action shots.......just need to learn to be a bit more smoot in camera movement and don´t let the excitement steer me. Another problem was that the camera overexposed the pictures very much, i must check if there is a problem with the camera or if did make a wrong adjustment....i did solve this by underexposing the pictures.........though it make working harder. Overall i solved most of the problems and it was one heck of a day.........i´m going to go there tomorrow again for the last day.


See you soon, and its good to be back. I missed you all.
