Die Welt durchs Bullauge.

Finally I have managed to bring myself to scan some of the new pictures :)

My flatmate moved out and took the scanner with her, so I had to act quickly !!

So here I present my first fisheye film !





































Using the fisheye for the first time, I'm mostly content with how the film turned out.
Although it seems that one really has to be careful when it comes to using the flash indoors - that flash is tremendously strong !!!

Maybe I should try to shoot before the flash is fully loaded to achieve a moderate lightning ?

As always - the pictures in pure sunshine turned out to be the best !

This film is all about my lazy cat Vivaldi, my friends, food ... & including some pictures from when my friend Hanne from Norway came to visit me in Vienna :)


The next fisheye film is almost finished (just about 6 pictures left), so I'm again in a state of curiosity...


What kind of equipment did I use ?

Camera: Lomography's Fisheye No. 1, Hello Kitty Special Edition.

Of course it wasn't possible for me to NOT buy this cutest of all cameras :D
Hello Kitty addiction calling hur hur :B


Film: 35 mm, dm's Paradies Universalfilm, ISO 200.


...

For summer I'm planning on getting a redscale film, somehow I feel that this will fit the summer mood perfectly :D

Just have to decide if I should get the intense redscale in 120 mm that I could only use with my Diana F+ ...OR the Extended Range Redscale in 35 mm and use it with both fisheye & Diana F+ ,but having less of the redness due to the extended range ...

... decisions ! ;)



... That's it again !

Hope you enjoyed reading ! ღ

Schnee von gestern.

Another bunch of pictures I scanned a while ago,
but somehow forgot to post ...

Here we go !

This film is basically revolving around time I spent with my Party People during christmas time 2011.

It was so cool getting that film developed, because I didn't even remember how I had spent my christmas time last year !

And so it was like :
' Oooh so that was what we did last christmas ...'

What kind of equipment did I use ?

Camera: Lomography's Diana F+ in the special edition 'Glow'

Film: 120 mm, Lomography's Color Negative ISO 400.

...

I've got an incredible bunch of fisheye power waiting in my drawer to be scanned ...

Hopefully soon, I'm itching to share them :D

...

Thank you again for reading ! ღ

Baking Sunday #3

Baking Sunday #3 : Strawberry & sour cream muffins



Another 'Baking Sunday' ?

... Well, this time I cheated a little, it was a Wednesday.


Nevertheless, spring has (at least more or less) also arrived in Austria !

The birds have started to sing, the flowers and trees have started to bloom ...
& there's a sunny mood in the air !

Strawberries are even more popular in early summer, but I found some & they just had to be used for some bakery !

...

You'll need: (for 12 + muffins)

• 200 g of flour

• 60 g oat flakes
  

• 1 teaspoon of baking powder

• 2 eggs

• 180 g of (brown) sugar

• 3 teaspoons of vanilla sugar

• 150 g of soft butter

• 300 g of sour cream

• 150 - 200 g strawberries

• confectioner's sugar for dusting afterwards

Go get your apron & let's get our spring time baking frenzy started ! ...

my lovely cupcake apron hurhur :B

Put flour, oat flakes & baking powder together into a bowl.

Now crack the two eggs & whisk them in another bowl.

Then add sugar, vanilla sugar, butter & sour cream into the bowl containing the whisked eggs.

Mix both doughs thoroughly together.

...

Now it's about time to let your oven heat up to 180°C !
...

Now it's strawberry time !

Those are quite positively not 200 g ...
I just couldn't resist scoffing some fresh strawberries in ... oh yummy ...

Cut them into small cubes.

And pull them carefully into the dough.
...



I got myself some flower-shaped muffin cups !

Before filling in the dough, be sure to grease your cups thoroughly,
using butter or vegetable oil.

So as soon as your oven is all heated up -
'chop-chop !' off they go !


Let them bake for about 20 - 25 minutes.

And then ...

Having a hearty bite ?

No, not yet.

...

My mum bought me this nice porcelain étagère !

A really nice option to display your bakery !



Dust with some confectioner's sugar & they'll become even more delicious !

Bon appétit !

A very easy & quick recipe !
The results were reeeaally nice mhhhm ... :)

Although the ingredients are intended for 12 muffins,
I actually got 16 out of it !
It would be good if you had more than 12 muffin cups at home, so you don't have to wait.

With the confectioner's sugar on them they tasted like 'Kaiserschmarrn' - a superb Austrian dessert !


Yummy yummy yummy ♪

I've got strawberry & sour cream muffins in my tummy ♪



That's it again !

Happy baking & Thank you for reading ღ
