Albertina Vienna, no tripod allowed … what to do, take the photo hand held with higher ISO (5000). I did noise reduction with Noiseless CK, you have to look, that the quality doesn’t get too bad. The Nikon Coolpix A is a really cool camera, high IQ in a compact size.

The Hip Hop Ball in Vienna is a very new genre, it was the second staging this year. The DJ was dressed in smoking with bow tie and he was playing in full throttle. The location was fashionable and dignified with big crystal chandeliers combined with loud hip hop music, a cool 😎 event 🙂
Karlsplatz is a bigger area with tram stations, cafes, subway and a park. It’s in the heart of Vienna, very near to the Naschmarkt, first district and the Ringstrasse. Also the Third Man – tour starts here.
You can rely on Amazon delivery, the DJI Phantom 4 Pro arrived on time. This weekend I took it for the first flight. The navigation for flying is fairly easy, but to get very accurate videos and photos you have to practice some time. From my first experience, I can recommend this quadcopter, it’s an exciting experience and a really professional tool. 🙂
Here my first Phantom video:
My first Phantom photo:
I ordered the quadcopter at Amazon Prime and it should arrive this week. Then I have some work to do with the authorities, in Austria you have to register the device at the Austro Control and have to wait about 2 months for the permission to fly which is valid for 2 years. Red tape 😐 , however my plan is to fly between the mountains of Ischgl end of April 🙂
2017-01-18 COOKING AT GRAND HYATT VIENNA
I like it to go to hotel bars, have a good drink, most often an Italian cocktail like Cynar or Averna and chat a bit and have a good time. Last time I was at the Grand Hyatt Vienna, a top hotel with a cool bar and an open kitchen, as you can see on the photo.
This year I tried to visit the Vienna Auto show early, I have been there at about 9 am. Even at this time there was slow traffic and parking only possible at the third floor and up, so many people. Many new models, like Land Rover Discovery, the new VW Golf, new Ford Edge, Mercedes GLC Coupe, Tesla Model X, I took photos of some exotic ones, which you will not see on the streets very often 🙂 … Bugatti and Rolls-Royce
Since taking photos in the Albertina gallery is forbidden, I smuggled my little Nikon Coolpix A inside, to take some hidden photos 🙂 I think many of the galleries are worried about the flashes, but they don’t know that many cameras can make superior photos without flash, even inside. After my visit I got this nice angle of the Vienna State Opera where I took this nightly shot without tripod.
What makes a Japanese Garden so attractive? For me the stone sculptures, the little curved bridges, the pond with koi carps and the neat bushes and trees. All in all a real feel good environment, 100% recommended.
An older man playing on a barrel organ is always an eye catcher for the younger and older ones, especially if the organ is in such a good shape as on this photo and the person behind looks and behaves like the typical organ player.
There is fantasy without borders for building Christmas trees from different materials. We have a white one built from paper and plastic, artfully crafted, looks really cool beside the real one. Also this one on the photo looks interesting. Hand made from glass jewelry it shines in bright light.
