Well, since in Amsterdam they build office buildings without enough car parkings for those people who might actually work in those buildings or visit companies in these buildings, a BMW Sports Activity Vehicle can be very handy when I comes to alternative parking.

This was the first time I used the Nikon D200 at an event like this. The Nikkor AF-S DX 18-200mm lens turned out to be great for this occasion, allowing both detailed close-up shots as well as wide-angle scenes of the crowd and stage. In total I shot more than 550 images and for the first time ran out of battery close to the end because I used the internal flash as fill-in very often. Next time I will use my external Metz flash and I also bought a 2nd Nikon battery today.
