With the new camera I decided it was time to do some more firelight shots. Most of them didn't come out or I just didn't care for. I don't know enough about f-stop, and exposures to get the shots I wanted. Ironically, I had a higher proportion of shots I liked when I did this previously with just the Samsung NV10. On the other hand, this shot came out very nicely. The only downside being the fire had died down such that you can't see the bike in this picture without looking for it. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the shot. A new favorite self-portrait!
Imperial Cathedral
Imperial Cathedral Originally uploaded by mercutio2k Inside the Imperial Cathedral in Aachen. Despite being just off the main square, and there being other people around doing tours and such, this place still has a powerful pull. The extent of the restoration work gives a good idea of what this place must have felt like to the medieval people first going in to it. The feeling of imminence and transportation, with the entire modern city just a few steps away, was powerful. I've not been in many cathedrals, and it was very nice to be in one so well maintained.
