i didn’t shoot any pictures this week, so i’m picking another one from our holidays on the philippines. although the nudibranch is not in focus i quite like the image below, mostly because of its vibrant colors. you can see some more images from our holidays in the pictures section or on flickr (which is better for the panoramas, ’cause you can see them in a bigger size…).

in den bergen ist freiheit lancierte einen bergfotowettbewerb (um irgendein monopol zu brechen [1]). jetzt kann bis nächsten samstag (8.10.) abgestimmt werden, damit dann ein foto das schönste ist.
gute freunde werden mein foto erkennen, es hatte die ehre, als “es guets 2005”-karte verschickt zu werden [2].
also stimmt ab, es hat viele schöne fotos drunter (hier alle in gross.). am schönsten find ich persönlich patricks eigenes bild (nummer 1, das mit der tollen reflektion.)
[1]: wieso genau hab ich ferienweise verpasst, ich bin noch nicht durch mit allen feeds lesen…
[2]: nummer 17 in patriks liste (übrigens: 0111000001100110 = pf)
[update]: ich löli hab doch tatsächlich vergessen den link zu linken, wo mensch abstimmen kann: hier
Unexpectedly i was able to make it to the vernissage of syn chron.
And it’s mighty impressive!
update: [via polymer-jan] who posted that this afternoon and made me go and see this.
i’m back.
everything was really nice (except that we almost died on the boat-ride back to manila yesterday) and i’m sifting through the pictures i took.
here’s one of the few i took above sea-level which i like quite a bit.

Da hab ich wohl was verpasst…
i’m going on a vacation (again). i’m leaving sunday afternoon to the philippines. nina and me will be diving with the cocktail divers in puerto galera/sabang. hopefully we’ll see some fish and be able to take loads of pictures, so i got to share something with all of you when we return.
have two nice weeks and behave!

this afternoon we [1] had a security training organized by the slrg. since i needed to see if the underwater housing of my camera is still alright [2], i took my camera with me to shoot some pictures. the picture below shows our head coach doing a fine start.
the full set of all the pictures is online on flickr.
[1] most of the coaches of the swim team
[2] more on that later on.

oh my god, my finger looks really crooked! i was not fast enough to get a decent picture, but in the true spirit of fuh2.com i thought it’s worth it.
as other people, i really suffer with all the persons that are hit by the hurricane in the states. but if you watch those two videos below, you really get a sense on how deep the trouble is gonna be once all the news get trough.
the first video shows two reporters of fox news really freaking out while giving their impression of the crisis. you should watch both videos to the end to see the important part!
Hannity-Colmes-Smith-Rivera-freak-in-NO.wmv (5.1mb .wmv-file).
the second video shows kayne west yelling a rather unplanned “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” while on a show with mike myers:

this saturday i once again went to the ropetech-seilpark here in bern.
this time with the kids from the swim-team (i coach them twice a week). the full set of pictures can be seen here, but i thought the one below stands out of the crop. it shows seraina having loads of fun:
Jan set up a wiki-list for web-people attending/covering the ars electronica this year.
i won’t be there, but surely will watch that list for coverage and images…
i just set up a wiki-list for bloggers, mobloggers, wikis, social bookmarks covering ars electronica 2005 in linz. please help me spread the world so this becomes a useful tool.

this weekend i found some time to panoramify all my shots from european masters championships in stockholm (you might have seen it on flickr).
through the help of the excellent ptx-mailing-list i found a tool called make cubic (direct download of the 259kb .sit-file here) which is just a wee bit more than a terminal app to convert your equirectangular .jpgs into cubic QTVR-movies, so you can download the image of fatbursparken (that weird semi-round house) as a 2mb .mov-panorama if you click on the thumbnail below (be patient, it takes some time to load).
enjoy!
oh and: how many times can you spot the guy with the yellow jumper and the black jacket?
[1] i know, it’s already two weeks late…
chris dibona shot some really impressive high-speed-snapshots (literally!) of people popping a ballon. you can see the whole set of images on chris’ flickr-page. most of images are just really brilliant. a really nice project, i wonder if my dsc-t3 can be triggered externally…

i finally found a free minute to sift through my pile of images, and was able to upload a first batch of images from the ecmc in basel.
you can see them here.
if you’d like to see more messengers messing around, then you can see mathieus images (from lausanne) or some more in the images-section of fahrradkurier.ch.
i’m still struggling with a panorama around the sharp turn of the uphill-sprint (the one here). maybe my g4 has not enough ram to handle a panorama consisting of 15 5 mpixel images. i’m trying it soon with resized images and keep you updated.
since jan seems to like silly games, i got one for him here: tontie, some kind of whack-a-mole, but with a twist, which you’ll find out while playing

raph[1] posted a funny movie over at velocites blog: how not to win a race (.wmv-plugin necessary). rather bad luck.
[1] he returned from basel as the fastest european messenger. and rachel and nicola from bern also are european champions, rachel was the fastest woman on track and nicola is the best bunny-hopper. congratulations from me!
– driving a fixie with a huge backpack (clothes for week and some more stuff) through downtown basel and zürich is not so fun
– going to the ecmc and not competing is only half the fun
– you need a valid passport or id to go to sweden (not me, mine is perfectly valid), but you can organize a passport in 30 minutes
– sleeping on a boat is fun
– sweden has the biggest indoor swimming pools i’ve ever seen
– going to another european championship with 3700 contestants is massive fun
– the ipod camera connector works like a charm (i took 260 pictures and some movies at the ecmc and at the emc)
– hugin will be runnig continuously for the next few days, cause i took a lot of panoramas
– i will tell you as soon as i uploaded the pictures, from time to time, you’ll find a bunch on flickr
Wow, 10 50m-lanes. And the warmup-pool has 14 25m-lanes, quite a huge venue…
