Happy New Year 2017


2017 kicked in last night with some surprisingly powerful fireworks – and as every year I took a couple of photos, which turned out better than last year thanks to the new camera. The rest of the photos are in the Gallery linked below – Happy New Year 2017!

Yellow, Round and Floating


I only noticed this helium balloon because I was looking for the blimp that was making its usual buzzing noise in the sky somewhere else. This balloon was, however, totally silent and actually really far away – but still close enough for my zoom lens to catch it!

Cloudy Timelapse

I completely forgot to post this – I made a timelapse with the help of my smartphone last month and it turned out very well. I used an app called LapseIt to take the photos and then put them together on the PC with VirtualDub. I’ve also made a second one, but I haven’t had time to upload it yet.

Return of the Blimp 2016 – New Sponsor Edition


It’s nice to see that “our” Blimp has gotten a new sponsor! It’s an advert for a relaunch of a radio station and the Blimp was flying around a lot with it even until a couple of days ago.
