580exII à esquerda através de um difusor circular, disparado por um PT-04. 430exII à direita através de um lençol branco, configurado como escravo. Não lembro a potência de cada. Acho que foi 1/2 pro 580exII e 1/8 pro 430exII.

Strobist info:
580exII camera left through circular diffuser triggered by a PT-04 flash trigger and 430exII camera right through a white bed sheet set to slave. Can't remember exactly the power settings for each flash. I think it was 1/2 for the 580exII and 1/8 for the 430exII.

Vouloir jouer aux échecs contre soi-même est aussi paradoxal que vouloir marcher sur son ombre. Stefan Zweig.
I challenged myself to a duel of chess, I was both the winner and the defeated. It all comes down to your point of view and depth of field. The fall of the king brought on the shadow of night, and the end of the shoot.

There's a section in Washington Park where you can sit any play chess. The area is full of chess hustlers who will play you at speed chess for a "donation" if they beat you!

A popular photographic motif in Vienna is the Spittelau waste incineration plant, whose façade was redesigned and given its present colorful, irregular structures by eco-architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser following a major fire in 1989. Since then, the former utility building has combined the topics of waste, energy and art in a fascinating way. On a tour of the plant, visitors get an insight into Vienna's waste, recycling and disposal system, as well as the environmentally friendly generation of thermal heat and hot water.
