Switzerland Revisited.

kocos · 09-11-07, 06:47

As some of you have heard, we attended the Forgotten Ritual festival in Switzerland. Honestly i was more interested in the landscape and the forest than the party itselfe. We had a great time anyhow, though i would share a few neat pictures

Peace and love.

Beautiful pictures..I Always wanted to see Switzerland. Enjoyed the view.

Awesome shots!

I was just wondering where you were yesterday...

What's that sea urchin looking thing in the second to last pic? That's interesting... very alien like...

Anyways, welcome back! Hope you're in one piece from your trip... I hear the Swiss like to party hearty.

kocos · 09-11-07, 08:47

The party was great, the Swiss really know how to organise, there was order and hygene, and mind altering substances were in abundance. The nature is what really got to me though, we dont have trees so big here, or mountains or gin clear rivers and streams everywhere... The reason why i havnt been around lately is i got injured when we got back, managed to tear a ligement in my ankle so i was stuck in a cast and in bed for 2 weeks, now i have a walking cast so i can walk around and naturally get back into Mycotopia

Glad you guys like the pics.

Peace

another star trail

Hippie3 · 09-20-07, 07:49

what star was the focal point, polaris ?

09-20-07, 10:16

cool star trail kocos! how'd you do that?

kocos · 09-20-07, 10:37

Yepp focal point was polaris, needed a few shots to actually find it, cus like always i managed to forget the compass at home.
Its actually pretty simple to make such pictures aslong as there is little light pollution in the area, all you need is a camera with B shutter speed mode, and a release cable with a lock on it. Focusing on the stars is another challenge especially with the shity kit lense i have. Other than that aparture should be small, not more than F5-5.6 and ISO speed should also be as small as possible to reduce noise so like 70-200. If iam not mistaken then then i let the shutter stay open for about half an hour. Should have left it for an hour cus its a bit underexposed, plus it seems i managed to bump the cam, and the focus is way off...

Excellent pictures, some very nice close ups. I love seeing the pics with mushrooms growing from mosses. Don't get to see that too much in the states except for PNW.
