Photokina 2010

Kate and me where at Photokia 2010 this year on Wednesday 22th and Thursday 23th September 2010.
Here are a few words and a lot of photos from these two days.
At first I wanna share another Behind the scene Photos from the setup with you:

I think the most of you all have seen how amazing the hall was. It was intressting for us to see how dirty and chaotic it was only two days befor Photokina started. All the people there did such great jobs and made a wonderful place from this chaotic hall I saw on Sunday.

So, but back to my two days there:
We came with the train from Haiger. Our journey takes nearly 2 hours.



At the Photokina we looked at the Canon stand for the new camera models and I finally have my desicion if I should buy the 5D or 1DMark III. My next Camera will be the 5D. The 1DMark is to heavy and to big for me. ( and the 5D fits perfectly in my handbag, because I hate Camerabags!)

We enjoyed the sun at the Photokina Piazza, drunk Vanilla Latte and enjoy the diurnal bird of prey show.




Then we went to hall 5.1 - both totally nervous- and searched my stand.






It was amazing to see all the wonderful exhibition at Photokina 2010.
So many wonderful photographers and their photographies! Simply inspireing!

We moved on to hall 9 where we visited the workshop from Steve Thornton.
It was interessting. Especially because we saw that even Top Photographers only cooking with water.
It was good for the selfconfidence to see that not every photo from him was perfect and that everyone can be on top of the world if you work hard enough for it.





We talked with representatives from Bowens and Broncolor and met a lot of nice people, young and old, who started with their photography carrer a few months ago and get a lot of new tipps and tricks.




We come to the desicion, that we will open our own studio next year.
At the end of the day we both where totally tired. Made a few photos at the trainstation, fell in our beds and slept long and good, till the next morning.


THURSDAY

On the second day we drove later at the noonday to Photokina.

This time we went straight to the Photokina Piazza, enjoyed the sun and waited for a call from Dóri who wanted met us there.


As Dóri called me we met us in hall 5.1

After a walk we went back to the Piazza and enjoyed the sun again.
We met this two lovely girls from Netherlands and the two where so nice to be our Models for a few quick photos.


Then a few guys from India and Turkey came to us and ask if they could make photos from us.
We said yes and a few minutes ago whe where surrounded by people with Cameras and iPhones and take photos from us.

It was time to go to Photokina Party. Nice Location. I wanna do Photoshootings in future there.
The food was amazing. Looked good and tasted better!
A few photos from my iPhone:



We left the Party very early for our train. But we had to wait a bit more then an hour then and so we bought us the new Vogue and a Caramel Coffee Frappucchino and spend the first time reading.



But then we get bored and so we made Photos....









I'm a bit sad that it's not possible for me to be there today and tomorrow.
Even when jamari lior and ophelia overdose have a workshop for modelposing.
