Living on the edge - How to save money

Because my income decreased during my futher education I had to shift the lifestyle I've incured.
So I started to analize where I need money and where it is pure luxury to spend it on.
That's why I start this serie "Living on the edge". I will describe how I saved money and will share my thought and experiments with you.

First of all I live in Switzerland. Everythin here is a little bit more expensive than somewhere else. So I was thinking about buy the expensive food and hygiene products in Germany. Why? Well hygiene products are around 1/3 or 1/2 of the price in Switzerland. But there are some problemes first how to get there...I don't have a car and with the public transport it is also expensive so I have to buy a lot that I can get the ticket price out. Another "porblem" is that I could invest the money in a swiss store so the people working there become enought money so they can life in switzerland too.
So i decided whene I visite my family who live near ther german boarder I will go and buy some stuff in germany like the hygiene products. So I can combine two things without extra costs. I would have visited my parents anyway so I could also go and buy some stuff there.

Samurai Girl Studio Shooting

Today I would like to talk about my first "Studio Shooting". I guess it sounds way better than calling it "home imporved shooting, cause weather was bad". 

I wanted to organise a shooting on a weekend, so I asked some of my friends. The day befor we should had meet the weather changed dramatically. It started to rain and was very windy. Because JuubeiChanXx was cosplaying Juubei Yagyuu from Samurai Girls we decided that the shooting should take place somewhere it isn't wet or cold.

And one hounted the other and we decided it would be the best if we would shoot in my home ^^ 

Happy Friday 13th

And another Friday 13th

For today I have something goulish xD

Surya and JuubeiChanXx asked me if I would like to go with them to Berlin and shoot at Beelitz and Hohenlychen, two top lost places! Of course I said yes :D

We we had done about 3 days fool of shooting. First at Fountain of Fairy Tales directly in Berlin with the theme SnK (Attack on Titan). Second at Hohenlychen Surya as some kind of murder Alice from Wonderland and JuubeiChanXx as Touka Kirishima from Tokyo Ghoul. The last one was in Beelitz and we went full Tokyo Ghoul x,D

I will split up the post, because three shootings are way to much for one post ^^'

So I will start with the last one in Beelitz. The spookiest on!  

            

  

We had to pay 50 Euro for the tour that we booked at go2know.

Everyone who sayes, it is waist of money you could easily go in. I call that bullsh*t! They have security and the doors are all looked and also the windows. Beside that, the go2know team do a very seriouse job by organise every thing. Also they were very nice and open! Asked what's that about, that Surya and JuubeiChanXx were dressed very special.

As we got to the meeting point we started to explore the location and started to shoot and tape a Cosplay Music Video.

It was a very nice and interesting day full of wonders an creepy stuff x,D

Tokyo Ghoul Shooting

My second Shooting was with JuubeiChanXx. 

This time it wasn't as spontaneous as the first one. Also I have learned that I should change my storage setting. So the camera also save the RAW Files.

What is this RAW?

Raw, as the name says, it is the format where the camera didn't do alot of compiling. So you could say it is a pure image. A JPEG has alot of information but also alot of information got lost by converting the shot. Whene you edit a picture (as for instance in Adobe Photoshope) the RAW image has alot of more detailed information and when you want to edit the dynamic there is a bigger range. It is like a negative. You can't actually upload the RAW file but you have alot of more information than in the finished image.

Also I got alittle bit more of a plan than the last time. We were heading to a lost building.

Kumon and Japan Impact

On Saturday my friends and I were travelling to Leysin and Lausanne.

I had to get up on 6 o'clock in the morning..Jumping in to my new Cosplay, Daphne Black from Scooby Doo :)

And heading to the trainstation, where I meet my friends, Angela and Surya.

On 8 o'clock the train leaves and the journy beginns :D

We have to change the train two times until we got to lausanne. After we got to Lausanne we had to change the train once more for two times ^^

We got to the japanese school, Kumon, at about 12 o'clock.

The view was so beautiful <3 There was two buildings and alot to see. First we headed to the top of the first building. There was a flea market and a chamber of horror. Of course the two horror freaks wanted to go in the very dark course. Maybe you can imagen how easily I am scared. So we have to take of our shoes and wait a moment, so we don't run into the people in front of us...We got in and on the left side there was a bock where you should write your name in it. The door closed behind us and it was pitch-dark. Angela writed her name in the book. We walked, Angela in front, Surya in the middle and me the chicken-hearted at the tail, I will regreat this later x,D

First cosplay shooting!

My first cosplay shooting with my own DLRS camera was on 12.September.2014.

It was a really spontaneous meet up with a friend of mine. I had some freetime and ask some people if they had time to do a shooting. My friend Jeff the Cosplayer just sayed that she got some sparetime, so we decided to meet us in Bern. I just grabed my camera and rush out to get the next train to Bern. ^^ 

After I arrived in Bern Jeff the Cosplayer just arrived with her school suitcase. So we traveled first to here home so she could get her Cosplay :) She wasn't sure which she should wear and then decided for Hades Saidoneus from the Anime "Kamigami No Asobi".

Happy Monday #7

Edinburgh

So as I promise here a little travelogue ^^

A friend of mine and I were in Edinburgh in the summer holydays and it was really awasome <3
The city has a lot of old buildings and you are so fast in the nature if you want to. 
Only thing that really disapoint me was the "bad" public transport. I mean it's wasn't bad like they allways comes late or so...but in a bigger city you can't just have one tram line and the other public transport are with busses. But any way it was great, I mean look at this picture that I took on the way to the top of the Arthurs seat. That is a hill in the middle of the city.

The view of the top is breathtaking!

On another day we visited the castle and cramond (a small village on the edge of Edinburgh) If you come whene the tide is you can walk to the little island, unfortunately we were to late but it was really cool ^^

And the next day I made a little boats trip and then walk a
little bit arround. In the morning it was really foggy...That was sooo creepy xD

SEAAALS <3

One late afternoon we visit the smaller castle "Craigmillar". It wasn't huge but very intressting and there aren't that much people so you can take all the time that you need to visit the castle.

So that's about all that I visited and have seen in Edinburgh. Sadly we couldn't go to the highlands =( But there will be a next time for sure! 

And because I am a huge Doctor Who Fan here my favorit picture from this holydays ^^

See you! <3

Cosplay meets Bodensee

The Cosplay meets Bodensee was a while ago...but here is my post about it.

First of all there were so many people and it was really funny :3 but the weather well wasn't that great. So we were all lucky that we all get finally into the Sealife in Konstanz. So there was alot of see animals and they looked really cool. But unfortunately there wasn't enough space for that much people ^^' After the sealife we just walked a little bit arround and eat some food. After we all filled our belly most of the people just travled home, 'cause of the really ugly weather =,( 

But it was a really awsome day and now I miss alot of people. 

This time I wasn't as Khallesi there because it was really, really cold D= so I just enyojed the sealife ^^ 

That you can imagen how awsome the meeting was here some photos (that I didn't photografed :( 'because my camera is old and sucks xD).

Hope we meet us soon again :3 probebly with better weather.

And every one that just read my blog hope you enjoyed the post!

See you all <3

Cosplay meets Zürich

Yesterday there was a cosplay meeting in Zürich. So I just sliped into my Daenerys Cosplay and traveled to Zürich HB. We were over a 100 people and it was so much fun. I was thinking maybe they aren't so friendly because I'm a newbie at stuff like cosplaing. I mean it is my first cosplay ever and I did all (except for the shoes and the wig) by myself. But I thought wrong =D They were all so friendly. I was there with my friends but I also meet some new people. I get to know someone who wants to cosplay Daenerys Brother, Viserys. I really hope she cosplay him someday ^^ It would be great to cosplay with some together!

Here are some pic of me as Daenerys Targaryen

So I hope you liked it...I love this dress but there are so much that doesn't fit well or I think it shouldn't be so blabla xD See you
