ski jumping in planica

been to planica in slovenia today with tine and werner to watch the team contest in skip jumping. it was quite fun and a great atmosphere! about 25.000 people were cheering for the jumpers. and i bet about 20.000 were drinking too much beer.

we paid extra for a place on a tribune and ended up having a great view. still, 300mm are not enough to do any actual mid-air pictures of the jumpers.

here is a selection, the full set can be viewed here.

i still suck at photography! the first pictures i took had ISO800 setting, because i forgot to change it back. and funny enough, the same thing happened to werner, who had used ISO1250 the whole time. damn.
