Another sunny weekend.

This weekend for me was pretty chill. There was this festival, called the Neustadt Festival. I couldn't figure out what it was all about through a google translated page of the event, so I decided to check it out. It was pretty much a carnival, more geared towards kids and parents. Now here's the difference between a carnival in North America and a carnival in Germany. There were food stalls lined down a street, and pretty much every 5th vendor was a beer vendor.




I decided to get some night shots of this beautiful city as well.

Here's a small brass band playing in the Altstadt, the touristy part of Dresden.

Another cool shot.

Not sure what this building is...

The Procession of Princes.


The Opera House.

The Cathedral.

Another cool view.

My camera (Canon Powershot SD600) takes great day pics, but OK night shots. You can definitely see the noise in the shots. I shot in "manual" mode with the ISO forced to 80, 2-4 seconds of shutter. Definitely pushing the limits of my tiny ultra compact.

I might try another round of night shots, see if I can get my camera to take better shots. I dropped my camera in some dirt, so it might not be taking the best pics anymore.
