Charity event - Televie - Elia
My wife
has organized a charity event today, in cooperation with Televie, a
Belgian organization sponsoring research against cancer. The company my
wife is working for is the power grid operator and organized climbing
on an electricity pylon. Every time somebody climbed, they added to the
amount they would sponsor....
Stuff used for those interested: Nikon D200+10.5 fisheye/12-24/17-50
2.8/70-200VR 2.8 and F5+35-70 2.8+70-200VR 2.8 (no film pictures shown here)
This has been an interesting experience...
Now the pictures:
