Jumping above the Artic Circle for finishing 2010

30 December, 2010 from Tromso, Norway Leave a Comment

After Christmas, I flew over to Norway with friends to go chase Northern Lights and ride dog sleds above the Artic Circle. We chose Tromso as our basecamp.

Tromso at this time of the year is magic: no more sun, but just 3 or 4 hours of low light everyday. Snow everywhere, many islands, few people, good weather most of the time we were there. You end up sleeping 12+ hours a day (which in my case is nothing new, but for other people can be quite disturbing!) and enjoying the little light we had as a precious moments.

We did see and shoot some amazing Northern Lights. But by the time we figured out how to take a jumping pic under them (tripod, long exposure, additionnal flash synchronised with the jump)… they were gone. Next time we’ll be ready !

The picture below was taken outside Tromso, in a Fjord where we spent a day in a cabin along with some cheerful Erasmus students and couchsurfers.

Night Jumping in Moscow

12 September, 2010 from Moscow, Russia Leave a Comment

Taking jumping pictures at night is always a struggle as the low light environment prevents you from taking sharp images. But being in Moscow, you feel creative and want to push the limits off.

The results are not that bad though.

Katya then decided she wanted to fall down from the sky

But we ended up agreeing it was rather better to jump-fight in front of one of the seven sisters:

Just arrived and already jumping in Moscow

11 September, 2010 from Moscow, Russia Leave a Comment

Just arrived in Moscow, we went to get registered (not only do you need a visa but you need to be registered when you arrive in Russia, stating where you’ll be staying and for how long)

Right after, we met with Ksenia and Gregory (Couchsurfers that I had hosted during the summer) for a city walk and we met with those fellow wannabe-jumper clowns.

Ghost-sheep jumping !

 

We stayed 3 days in Moscow, hosted by Katya, the greatest couchsurfer in town! An also particulary skilled at jumping 🙂

Jumping in Leipzig

2 May, 2010 from Leipzig, Germany Leave a Comment

The next day, we took a train to spend the day in Leipzig guided by Aga (our former Couchsurfing host in Berlin from 2007 and now a very dear friend). The day was cloudy, turning rainy in the end. But the jumps, the tukish coffee(s) and the german cake(s) were awesome though !

Jumping in Vienna

3 September, 2009 from Vienna, Austria Leave a Comment

Vienna and Bratislava are the two closest country capitals in the world. We couldn’t miss that !

Vienna is a very nice city. You can jump in front of the Opera House…
