Hacker-Festzelt is one of the most popular tents at the Oktoberfest in Munich. Even before it opened, at 10 am, there was a long line of kurt lederhosen clad men - clearly seen in this photo - waiting to get in!
This tent is one of the largest at the festival with seating space for 6,900 guests and as the name implies they're sponsored by and serve beer from the Hacker-Pschorr brewery.

So, the main news headlines in the UK is the phone hacking saga of press reporters.
Did they hack the phones of murder victims and their families?
Did they hack the phones of celebrities?
One thing its made me realise is that I'd make a very bad reporter.
I really don't care that much about celebrities
and I can't for the life of me imagine what gossip I'd get out of phone hacking the families of murder victims.
Hacker: "originally, someone who makes furniture with an axe", according to The Jargon File.
I think this shutter was made by a hacker... who use the axe to paint it, too.
Since the first 7 points of the hacker definition can also be used to describe myself, I bought this fancy toy to restore the original hacker work. After all, a sander called "Mouse" is perfect for a hacker... the problem is I'm always trying to turn the wheel ;-)
I've a heavy duty sander (8 kg!) which is good to sand the keel of an aircraft carrier (if you can find a wood one), but it is not very appropriate for small details.
I've seen this small sander at our local version of Home Depot for 35 euro, but it was out of stock and the clerk suggested me to visit the other shop, 50 km away. Before to waste a couple of hours and 7,50 euro of gasoline I asked him to check the inventory on their network, and he stared at me just like I've demanded a spare hadron collider. So I came home, check on eBay and found the same sander in Rome for 1 euro less, shipping included.
Next time I'll check eBay before to go to the shop... so I'll save another 15 km.
Now I guess you want to know the strobist infos...

See the setup below for the flash positions.
If you want to see the shutter "before" version, it had the same ugly color of the rest of this door.

Hacker: "originariamente, qualcuno che costruiva mobili con un'ascia", secondo The Jargon File.
Penso che questo scuro sia stato fatto da un hacker... che ha usato l'ascia pure per pitturarlo.
Visto che i primi 7 punti della definizione di hacker possono essere anche usati per descrivere me, ho comprato questo bel giocattolino per restaurare il lavoro originale dell'hacker. Dopotutto, una levigatrice chiamata "Mouse" è perfetta per un hacker... il problema è che cerco sempre di girare la rotella ;-)
Ho una levigatrice pesante (8 kg!) che sarebbe buona per levigare la chiglia di una portaerei (se ne trovate una in legno), ma che non è molto appropriata per i piccoli dettagli.
Ho visto questa piccola levigatrice in una negozio di bricolage a 35 euro, ma era esaurita e il commesso mi ha suggerito di visitare l'altro negozio della catena, a 50 km di distanza. Prima di perderci un paio d'ore e 7.50 euro di benzina gli ho chiesto di verificare l'inventario sulla loro rete, e mi ha guardato come se gli avessi chiesto un collisore di adroni. Così me ne sono tornato a casa, ho guardato su eBay ed ho trovato la stessa levigatrice a Roma, per 1 euro meno spedizione compresa.
La prossima volta guarderò su eBay prima di andare fino al negozio... per risparmiare altri 15 km.
Ora immagino vorrete conoscere le info strobiste:
- ottica: SMC Pentax-DA 16-45mm F4.0 ED/AL
- flash a sinistra: Hanimex TZ1 in modo tele mode with diffusore standard - 0.13 GBP (si! 0.16 euro!) su eBay
- trigger a sinistra: tipo cactus
- flash a destra: Vivitar 3500 Thiristor in modo wide, senza diffusore - questo molto più costoso, 10.50 GBP (13.26 euro) on eBay
- trigger a destra: servoflash ottico preso su ebay
Guardatevi il setup più sotto per le posizioni dei flash.
Se volete sapere com'era lo scuro "prima", aveva lo stesso colore angoscioso del resto di questa porta.
