a real color. and color pictures photographer marcus clearly takes amazing shots of the northern lights. and will start right off with extreme sports so hold on tight french director is the pioneer of the so-called outdoor film and knows exactly how the genre has developed over the last thirty years every year the films get more spectacular as camera technology develops to enable filmmakers to capture ever more daring stumps and as news production magnetic he shows athletes braving the most testing conditions. windsurfers trying to catch the world's largest waves there's a fine line between triumph and feel. free skiers and kind surfers risk everything to conquer mountains previously thought to be on the comparable.

and all the while you don't know is there much in them in action. i have to always find. another chanelle you know that the. sense of the story of the situation attracted by and they want to know by personal position i used to be a position then he asked both men as well and i knew how those guys how they feel. don't know the shoots is footage around the world in pakistan he followed athletes on an exhausting expedition to the summit of a mountain that's over five thousand meters high. he'd spend nights just waiting to be the first to ski down its icy slopes into the valley below. is the way for me to express myself it's like it's paris and i sing if.

there is maybe sings you're not supposed to tell you so you are just skiing and you're saying something by about what. everywhere from portugal to tahiti or you don't know captures surfers looking for the perfect way. sometimes safdar weeks of waiting. there it is. once you're in the moment there's no point to go back and you just go for it you've got to be really be there with him for that moment your whole life and then when you see the way we're just excited full of adrenalin and has to come out so you just ride the wave and. then it's pure enjoyment. capturing that moment in all its splendor can take weeks of preparation both technical and organizational.

perfect moment for me to go out of my life yeah it's crazy because we're working very odd you know just to update in one shot and we have five cameras are rolling and jumping on the water we have some good stuff and you floating on the happiness ok but two up in that lot of bad moment as well then you have to you have to be ready to pay the price. accidents are part of that price. dearly don't know has been chilling extreme sports since the one nine hundred eighty s. . technological developments have changed the way he works he started off using a heavy hand unwieldy thirty five millimeter film camera then came diggy cams which helped him get closer to the athletes and nowadays he often inventions only quipping himself i try to use less as possible because. quite he's not there and everybody everybody can do it we try to play the game on different anger

and i try to be close of the action. to sixty camera we put on the head and we can move the action into the the shot or one of the cameras he's developed as a lens that can be hung from a cable and operated with just one hand. and since he's not impressed by the picture quality he gets from drones he'll get into a helicopter and so often the challenge the special weapons he developed to his camera. lens is so important sometimes i use a long lens so get the guys alone from his face just to see how you react you know and you can keep some moment you can't. before. dawn hours latest film magnetic true adventure is now showing in major cities across europe it will later be released worldwide. in full big screen because when you watch the action

here are the people. in motion together rather like the screaming together what they want to be in the thing that they are part of one group. being part of the action without ever leaving your seat at the cinema you know you do not take spewers along a true adventure in which nature and the elements push people to their limits. next up we head around europe for express they were making stops in florence and vienna but first we're off to the emmys where european actors have been quite successful this year. on monday german actress ana should accepted the international emmy award for best performance by an actress she won for her lead in the dark comedy the sniffles would have been just

fine. european productions dominated the awards this year in new york city collecting eight wins. lars mickelson of denmark picked up the best actor award for bride upon the storm and the producers of the spanish thriller money heist took home the prize for best drama series it was the forty sixth time for the international emmy awards. some fifty thousand sky rockets combined in an explosion of above florence italy it was a performance by a chinese artist signed as a tribute to the birthplace of the renee sounds it also signaled the opening of an exhibition of his works on friday. a day at the your feet see gallery sign has said that he feels greatly inspired by the nice aunts he's known for his taste for explosives about sixty of his works including his famous gunpowder drawings can be

seen here until february seventeenth. on monday for the debutantes of vienna as opera ball was unveiled it was designed by donna taliban such a star italian designer took inspiration from motifs and featured wagner's operas cycle the ring of the neighbor along it's not yet known of the fashion designer plans to attend the bar it takes place in vienna on february twenty eighth twenty nineteen. staying with extravagance and luxury we're now off to board a super yacht the sailing ship pink gin is truly unique it's built entirely out of carbon fiber and is the biggest and fastest of its kind inside it's full of some of the most innovative features ever seen in the yacht and we got an exclusive peek inside when it docked in the german harbor of.

onboard twenty eighteen's sailing yacht of the year the pink gin. our first impression it's decidedly different and pretty darn cool. setting the sail on the world's largest carbon fiber sloop we quickly pick up speed thanks to the modern hydraulics and glide over the north sea at up to eighteen knots. steering such a large yet quick vessel is a challenge for captain james moore be we were fifty four meters nobody fifty for me to call them boys on the planet. so i had to sail specially in northern europe in these conditions it's a great opportunity. the captain and his crew are on their way to hamburg on the orders of the pink gins billionaire owner hans-georg neda. the carbon fiber sailing yacht is the fulfillment of a dream for him. it's thought that he shelled out tens of millions of euros to make

his dream a reality. the vessel took three years to develop a. yacht design a rough import was instrumental he and his team invested more than one hundred thousand work hours into creating a boat that would be fast yet not scrimp on creature comforts. if that's the challenge for us designers the shape of the hall is important to the performance but the a spread except because that's what you see and you see that this boat has a very straight stem called the plumb ball that's quite modern it gives it a longer waterline in a new regatta both just look like this. there are always eight crew members on board. including chef april oden everything in the galley kitchen has its place and there's plenty of space the chef proudly shows us where she stores her

produce here we've got a very large water. once again it's a bit messy on. the walk in cooler is just one of the boats many luxury is features . here everything is elegant and one of a kind. below deck steward is a mccormick ensures that everything is just right for instance that the miranda glass chandelier is sparkle and shine she knows that first impressions count. yet so when the bus comes up to be made. again and has a lot of. the pink gin is approaching hamburg for safety's sake a marine pilot comes aboard. that's because there are power lines stretched across the river and at sixty eight meters the pink gins mast is very tall. that could cause problems. most rights nowadays even on big bikes are

a maximum sixty four we just maybe so they get through the panama canal and stuff like that so you know the bigger you make the fights and the breaks more limited you are where you can go. so you yeah you have to think not just of the water of the hole so things above makes a difference. it's a tight squeeze for the pink gin there's barely seven metres clearance between the top of the mast and the power lines. if the water levels were much higher it would be impossible for the sailing yacht to pass through. the royal things and. the big jet is also so large that the marine pilot asks another passing vessel to move out of the way so he can dock the boat in one swift maneuver. and i'm going to one time. they've made it.

after the crew more as the vessel they just have to sit back and wait until the pink gins billionaire owner decides he feels like going for a little cruise on the sailing yacht of the year. what do you think is typically german punctuality fos driving beer drinking a new social media series that so german will show you which stereotypes actually true. facts so. one two week comes to these two we go for nine days pokes fun at. typically germany idiosyncracies. so we go week gemini human. i don't know about today

a miner at first to work for the marketing division of wonders latest soccer team shocker but in twenty fifteen he hung up his publicity cleats to pursue a dream he founded the group been held in heroes of the mind fashion label. yeah but you know that work original miners church into the items here you see it on the hood or the belt that the fabric gets a new function that's he collaborates with designer felicitous caspar they even use real coal from the decommissioned mines does not give us a call i had the good luck to start at the victoria mine just as production ended and brought this original piece of coal out of ideas and the vision was born to get that original piece on to the garments the structures can be scanned in and then printed on to them of just that us he says that. they design every piece of clothing themselves here and they're working on a jacket for their spring collection which they call alice there's a reason for that. it's come out of an older married couple came into the store

safely and nothing when you will fall from the polls the best way to see them is in the photography of markos keeley whom we met for a series bright ideas. the northern lights a natural phenomenon that always casts a spell on people to talk to from marcus kili has spent countless nights in the ice cold finish region of lapland on his quest to capture them on camera. northern lights how so beautiful on so huge sound something. from the outer space so. something like they are not from this world. marcus is famous for his pictures of the aurora borealis and he takes everything that comes with the job in his stride for hours he waits into the open sky even in temperatures of minus thirty degrees all for the perfect picture. when he gets the chance he lights

a fire in one of the nearby huts to warm up. but he never stays inside long he wouldn't want to miss the nocturnal performance the northern lights can dance across the sky for hours or mere minutes they can only be captured with a long exposure so he never knows how the photos will turn out. very so different colors of. the northern lights green or small come on then there is also pink or red and yellow. glow but i like the pink the green is normally not so green earth you see in the photos but the pink is as pink as you three. talked with her has shot more than one hundred thousand photos to date he edits them on his computer and knows just what it takes to do the lights just.

that there is something in a front it can be house or person or or whatever and something in the middle and then in the background there isn't often life so that you created the perfect whole here's the northern lights are if there is only northern lights they you can't think how big they are. marcus checks every evening to see how good his chances are of seeing the lights there visible about two hundred times a year. the lights are created by i like to be charged particles released from the sun that collide with particles in the earth's atmosphere and they appear stronger the closer you are to the north or south pole. good weather for the nordic light for follow is that the oh you have a clear sky because the northern lights they are about one hundred kilometers from the earth's surface so the clouds are much lower than if there is clouds you will

see that you will not see the northern lights. it must take a special kind of person to spend hours alone in the cold hunting down the lights. i guess. no i don't know you don't need to be a special type if you get tired very early then very it's not good for you. when he finally gets a glimpse his equipment can't let him down it needs special treatment in these freezing temperatures. when you take photos in a cold temperature but battery life times goes down briefly asked so you need to keep the batteries warm you need to have extra batteries so that if you can change one battery to your camera keep the battery. body us the body temperature to heat the batteries i normally you keep them in my clothes. but occasionally even marcus has to rest. i go go out when very clear sky.

focused for nautical lies. by blocking cloudy quite often so i can sleep on those on the floor and the nightly trips into the freezing weather have paid off his beautiful images of the northern lights amaze people all over the world. so we have time for today but we'll be back tomorrow with plenty more european lifestyle and culture. next time. for me. from frankfurt manhole covers and turns them into our served up for a continental breakfast. take a people to jump into the pool from. the artist calls his pieces works
