During my long May weekend in Kraków I had a rare occasion to grab a few beers with my remote teammates. We finished the evening early, but two of us decided we're not done and went for a late night walk.
Half an hour before the alcohol prohibition (yup, it's a thing in this one city in Poland!) we bought a few beers and started sipping them illegally in one of the local parks.
And guess what? Well, my teammate had a skateboard. And I had my fastest lens on my camera.
So, what happened next? Well, around 2am somewhere in the center of Kraków one IT nerd started testing his old skateboard skills. The other IT nerd sat on the ground and started stress-testing his Viltrox f/1.4 lens and an ISO setting well above 20k.
My lovely friend successfully landed a few jumps.
I missed a lot of frames because focusing late at night is hard, but a few serviceable frames happened as well.
So yeah. 90% of people will stop to look at my boring touristy snapshots and move on. I'm more excited about this spontaneous drunk session in extreme lighting conditions. 🤷

Once Polish, and now Ukrainian, the PT-91 Twardy tank (a deep modernization of the T-72) is in service with the 22nd separate mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The crew of the tankers of this almost 30-year-old vehicle (the tank was produced in 1995) says that compared to the Soviet T-72, their tank has a more powerful forced-up engine (850 hp versus 780 hp of the export T-72), with a “faster” reverse gear. #AureFreePress#News#press#headline#Ukraine#Russia#Poland
