Day 248

The annual Offenbach Strassenfest is accompanied by the German Garrison of the 501st Legion of Star Wars troopers. All the costumes were really impressive and correct down to the finest detail. Due to my son being petrified of the sand people (that noise they make still scares me too) and having to prepare for his birthday party, I couldn't spend as long as I'd hoped to take photos of all the troopers. Hopefully, I can get more next time!

Day 246

I took photos of some colleagues and their skate buddies and realised I really need to master my focus settings better because these guys were fast! Even though my camera has good focus I struggled to get the shots I wanted and instead had to switch to manual and just rely on them being where I wanted for a photo. I didn't get all the shots I was after but hope they ask me back again so I can use more lights next time!

Hand plant!

I didn't realise how dangerous out off control boards are until one time it just decided to fly off and nearly hit me in the face at point blank range!
