I regularly participate in events by the Chaos Computer Club. I’ve been to the camp and held some seminars here in Ulm. Besides that we have a radio program at a free radio station here in Ulm: /dev/radio is on every two weeks for two hours at 13:00. 102.6 Mhz / Radio freeFM. Free radio means that anybody who becomes a member of the non-profit association and pays a small annual fee can get his own slot. /dev/radio plays only free music. Meaning music under a free license, preferably Creative Commons.
In one of the last broadcasts matou and hannes (right and left in the photo above) set up a challenge to submit a proposal for a jingle. A few hours before deadline I decided to give it a try. This is what I came up with:
The morse code in the beginning was originally created by matou via a smartphone morse app. I applied various effects and did some editing on it. The background song is licensed as CC-BY-NC and is called “Rooted in Peace” by rocavaco. It is available here.
It get’s quite foggy here sometimes. Well “quite” is a little bit of an understatement: I haven’t seen the sun in weeks. Literally: I haven’t seen anything else than just a white sky and fog everywhere. Sometimes just a few meters sight. When walking to the university through the woods I sometimes think I am in some kind of “Sleepy Hollow” horror movie.
But: You can shoot some great pictures at nighttime. These photos have been shot around 3 or 4 in the morning some days ago. The scenery was so damn good that I just had to get out and take some photos.
I finally decided to give deviantART a try. I plan on doing some stuff that fits more on deviantART than on flickr. Here’s the link to the deviantART account with the full sized foggy pictures.
matou was shooting some photos for a friends school project and I joined them. After all project photos were done we started playing around with the setup. We stayed for another 4 hours or so and basically just had a real good time shooting tons and tons of photos 🙂 .
The photos were lighted by two flashes, placed left and right. The background is a big white photo tissue we mounted high.
Making coffee — the “Hello World” of videography. (@b_erb, 29.11.2011)
This is the first little video I made with the 5D: How I make coffee in the morning.
Usually you let the coffee brew in the french press for about five to ten minutes, depending on how strong you want it. Besides that I often give a pinch of salt into the grinded beans. I have the impression that this takes out some of the bitterness.
I am a 32 year old techno-creative enthusiast who lives and works in Berlin. In a previous life I studied computer science (more specifically Media Informatics) at the Ulm University in Germany.
I care about exploring ideas and developing new things. I like creating great stuff that I am passionate about.
