Night Flight

Every two years there's this huge late night event at our school called musicnight. In many different spots outdoors on the school grounds are performances of all kinds. 


Yesterday, for example, the school orchestra was playing film music, I had two performances with the BigBand which were awesome, but there were also dance performances, singing and other musical acts.


The theme of yesterday's event was "Night Flight". It was all about flying and everyone was dressed up either as a captain or some other board crew. We also played a song called Night Flight. The food was lovely too, and there was even a bar inside a real old aeroplane part!


I was also flying with my drone at night because that just fit the topic perfectly. My friends Simon and David gave some RC-helicopter flying lessons next to me while I was live streaming to a huge tv screen with my drone.


Whilst flying around I took some more pictures of our school at day and night and I photographed the highway next to the school with long-time exposure so the cars would draw lines behind them.

Starting a new Instrument and new Lightning Pictures

For a very long time I have been wanting to learn a new instrument and now it's finally time! I took an exam in school (which was surprisingly easy) to get free lessons for a new instrument.
I chose the Flügelhorn. It's a very mellow horn/trumpet and I love the sound of it! And now I just need some time to practise :)


Yesterday evening, after a BigBand concert, there were heavy thunderstorm warnings in our region. So of course I grabbed my camera again and took some more pictures of the lightnings; avoiding the errors I've made last time...
And then it started raining and with the rain showers the real lightnings started to appear outside. I could not resist, got myself a plastic bag, made a hole in it and put it over my camera (leaving the lens free) to protect it from the rain. In addition with a bit of strong duct-tape the plastic bag was a perfect solution!
So I was standing outside, the rain hitting my face, soaking wet, taking pictures of lightnings :D awesome!
