Via Ferrata – Hans von Haid-Steig
Italian for “iron road”, ferratas are mountain climbing routes equipped with fixed metal cables, stemples, ladders, and bridges. I wanted to try what kind of experience it would be for quite a while already, so when I got the offer from Jairo.sk, it was settled. They put me in a harness, helmet on my head, gave me a rope with a pair of carabiners, and off we went. Understandably, I was too busy hanging from the rock to photograph most of the climb up, but here’s a handful of shots hardly doing justice to what we saw.

It is done. :-) Congratulations to the newlyweds!
Bratislava under Siege
In early 19th century that frog-eating midget Napoleon thought it was a great idea to lay siege to Bratislava and bombard it and destroy a lot of valuable cultural heritage and whatsnot… well, some people obviously feel that is a reason for celebration and reenactment, and as little Filip wanted to go and see some of that, so went I and my camera. Sadly, we didn’t get to see most of the program, so I only have a bunch of random shots. On the positive side, I feel like I’ve really improved my flash technique. :-)
Fireworks… yeee!
Long time, no photos! Well, I didn’t have too many excuses to go out and shoot recently. However, Ignis Brunensis changed that, so I borrowed a tripod and tried to give it my best shot. As I never photographed fireworks before, and lacked a remote trigger, I am not entirely satisfied, but hey, they are not entirely bad and at least I have learned some lessons for next time.
