My latest "photo stories" without too many words

Viessmann Cup 2018 Round 1 – Osrblie, Slovakia

Photogallery from 2018 Viessmann Cup Round 1 in Osrblie, Slovakia. Around 90 biathletes in 11 categories competed in sprint on December 29th, 2018.

Personal notes: Sometimes you go in with the best intentions and things just… don’t work out. Despite the nice early afternoon weather, at times I found it more difficult to shoot than last year’s “blizzard edition”. Not much (capture-worthy) was happening on the track, the scheduling was way too tight so moving around was difficult at best. And my gear’s ability to produce decent results was a no show as well – probably still finishing the Christmas dinner leftovers. As they say: on some days, it’s indeed no picnic.

Banska Stiavnica – Autumn 2018

In mid-octobe 2018, I made a one day trip to Banska Stiavnica to see how the city looked during the peak of autumn colors. I was not disappointed. This time, my focus was on photographying the morning views of Old Castle and city itself, the well known antiquarian store on the main square, the underground “Love Vault”, which was featured on BBC International and of course the newly restored calvary complex, that was listed among the World’s Most Endangered Cultural Sites. I hope to be back to our UNESCO World Heritage Site jewel soon, hopefully during the upcomin winter season.

Summer Biathlon Championships of Slovakia 2018

Summer Biathlon Championships of Slovakia 2018 on roller skis took place in National Biathlon Center in Osrblie on August 4th and 5th. Unlike last year, no members of Slovak “A” Team were present (or Marwe Skis for that matter), just beautiful surroundings of Central Slovakia and mostly nice August weather. My photos are from Satuday’s sprint

X-Bionic Summer Tour Samorin 2018

X-Bionic Summer Tour 2018 was once again held in the beautiful X-Bionic Sphere in Samorin, Slovakia. Like last year, this equestrian event was stretched over two weeks. Due to other committments, I was only able to visit on Friday 27th of July. The competitions weren’t as strong as during the weekends and I also missed the popular evenig session which is held on Saturday. But even during the slow days, there are nice moments waiting to be captured…
