Guys, I need directions. How do I get to Wunstorf? I am staying in Kurfürstenstrasse, and haven't been reunited with my baggage. See you tomorrow. Maybe. I hope. :-)
+26 minutes it says right now. By the way, Hauptbahnhof is huge, one of the largest train stations in Europe, if not the largest. Our train leaves from the very bottom level. You will still need to go to the "Abfahrt" (departures) poster to see which platform it is. Just look for the train number and the departure time, it should be easy, the platform is on the right, and it will be a number from 1-6, I think. I think the posters are yellow, with the white ones being the "Anfahrt", or arrival, posters.

Platform 1 is a great opportunity to take some images while waiting for the train (link)
I think you are in the wrong train station...
Summary for lurkers: It was track 3, Philippe, Joakim and I met on the platform, the train left late, we picked up Markus at Südkreuz, and Stefan took it too relaxed, missed the train and came on the next one. A great time was had, photos were taken, food was eaten, drink were drunk, and we parted speaking of the next time in October, at Beelitz...
Who might be in? The following Beelitz dates are available, all in October: 5, 12, 18, 19, 26. Unfortunately the only Saturday is the 18th, and I cannot that day, since we have a rare family visit. That shouldn't stop anyone else though...
You posted fast! I haven't even managed to sort all images... The meeting was great, thanks all for coming and having photography fun together!
@Stefan: these where my favorites from your camera, the composition is simply perfect!
@Carsten: the first two are my favorites, you found great use for your 12mm. Photraphing in the corners in new to me, but works great here. Your first image has a movie-mood to me. Sadly I haven't visited all these rooms...
I got home late yesterday evening so I haven't even downloaded my images to the computer yet, hopefully I can do that tonight and also post some of them and have time to enjoy your photos as well.

I made only about 80 shots, and deleted 20, so I only have 60 to choose from. I find myself treating digital more and more like film, i.e. I am avoiding just shooting lots and lots because I can, and my images are benefitting from it.

Thanks! The first image is in the theatre (building 11), at the rear right, facing the stage.
I really am surprised how much I have taken to the 12mm. It is very hard to use it in such a way that I avoid the typical converging verticals, which I don't like very much, and I find myself moving my tripod up and down much more than I used to, and moving much closer to things.
Stefan, great composition in the first photo and I like the mood of the last one.
Carsten, a very consistent and good set even though all three are in different format. #1 is my favorite.
Markus, I like the second one. Well done with the reflection.
#3 is my clear favourite here, what a great catch! I didn't see that, or didn't notice it. #2 is also great, although it needs a touch of straightening I have something like a 12mm view of your first one, which I am posting in my next set.
Congrats, guys! Watching your work is just breathtaking. Stefan, your "peeping shot" is awesome, although singling it out is not fair to the rest of the work
First, I would like to thank Carsten for organizing this meeting one more time. Then thanking Markus and Joakim for saving my bacon by supplying a spare tripod to a lone traveller. Then thanking Stefan ....for being Stefan :-) I look forward to seeing you again in Beelitz...
I shot the least number of shots, so I probably have the least to show. All with A7R and Leica Elmarit R 28 vII. But I can manage the first 3...
You made it! I was beginning to wonder if KLM sent your suitcase correctly this time, but lost you! My favourite of your set is #3, interesting texture and the way it peels off the wall.
And on to the second set. This is probably my strongest set, so after this it is all downhill
There isn't any strong editing going on in #2 or #3, the colours were really strong in reality. Just controlling highlights and pulling up shadows a bit, to match what the eye saw, and minor tweaks to other things.
