oleksid huvitatud?

The making of

We went back in time a few years and got stuck there... Actually it's part of our grand plan! Muahahaa! I will tell you the plan when it has reached critical limits and you can't stop us anymore. Muahahaa!
I generally hate digital image editing but did these as an experiment.

Gaudeka proov

About a month ago our instructor told that some of the dancers in our rookies group have a chance to participate in the song and dance festival Gaudeamus XVI in Vilnius. It took me a bit time to consider it but around two weeks ago I decided to go. At first it seemed it was too late as all the places seemed to be full but I still started going to practices and it kind of paid off as my old dancing partners new dancing partner had an accident and broke his leg - so I had to replace him. I was happy and sad (sappy) at the same time - I felt bad for my friend because of his accident and happy to be able to dance again with my old dancing partner. It was also sad that last week it turned out that the other couple, that enlisted before me to go to the festival, couldn't go after all.
These pictures are taken on the practice day in the Huge Treffner Gymnasium with my Zenit-ET (I used Kodak Pro bw400cn film). Unfortunately the camera doesn't work well in low light conditions as the indicator doesn't move also I am yet not experienced enough to set the parameters by myself. So from the 36 pictures only 20 were ok. As I couldn't make pictures while I was dancing, I made these on the moments when we rested. The guys in our group aren't very good at resting so they started doing push-ups and crunches, after that also did some massage to the girls.
Beside the dancers from Tarbatu (my companions) also the Tartu University group and the Viljandi Culture Academy group were on that practice. So I'm one of the few people who knows almost everybody as I used to dance in TU-s group and my brother and his girlfriend are dancing in VCA group. Still I am afraid that this year my birthday won't be much of a party as it's on the 25th and the festival is from 23d to 27th and except for my brother, his gf and some other guys there aren't many close friends there with me.

The Last King of Scotland

Some of the older dancers publicly announced that they were having a movie night and as I hadn't had a chance to go to any of their doings for a long time, I got Valmar to come with me and we ended up being on thirds of the crowd there. :D But the movie was great and the people there were even better. I have a review about the film in another blog but it's unfortunately in estonian and not public. The title of the film is the title of this post here.

Suvepäevade koosolek/filmiõhtu

There is a tradition in Tarbatu which says that the rookies have to organize the annual summer holiday weekend or what ever it's called in english. I have been in Tarbatu for some time now and don't feel like a rookie anymore also Karl and somewhat also me helped to organize it last year. Still we both decided to help. These pictures are taken on the second or third meeting when we were at Siilike's place. In the middle of the meeting there was a break when we watched a film that has the same theme as the summer holidays are going to be. I can't mention the theme at the moment as it's still a secret. At first the planning started big but then the exam session started and almost anyone didn't have any time. Right now things are moving kind of slow but compared to past few years still in a fast pace.
This picture is also done with bw400cn film and from my black and white film pictures I like it the most.
