for sarah. gonzalez friend of the salon good quality hair when i see ads and a good story when i hear it. my name is elizabeth and i work at sea that. they're welcome to your max your daily dose of european lifestyle and culture is what we've got coming up feud today. extreme adventure with filmmaker t.n.t. do not catch his breath taking moments an extreme sport. mine is a tie a fashion label gloomy headline designs clothes using real culture. 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 friends directed the deal now is the pioneer of the so-called outdoor film 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 stunts and his newest production magnetic he shows athletes braving the most testing conditions. when surfers try 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 unconquerable.

and all the while here you don't know is there getting them in action. i have to always find. another chanel you know technically three or sense of the story i portion of the situation attracted by and they want to know by beth and. i used to be a position early us 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 it's icy slopes into the valley below. it's 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 that's what. everywhere from portugal to tahiti or you don't know on a captures surfers looking for the perfect way. sometime soon after weeks of waiting. their editors. once or in the moment there's no point to go back you just go for it you've got to be really be there with them for that moment your whole life and when you see the way they're just excited full of adrenalin and has to come out so you just ride the wave and. then it's to enjoy him and. capturing that moment in all its splendor can take weeks of preparation post technical and organizational.

perfect moment for me 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 camera rolling and jumping on the water we have some good stuff and you frothing on the happiness ok but too often 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. you know you 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 and unwieldy thirty five millimeter film camera and came to get cams which helped him get closer to the athletes and nowadays he often invention his own equipment himself i try to use less disposable 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 pros of the action. to sixty camera we put on the head and we can move the action into the the shot. 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 to change the special events 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 capture some moment you can't. before. joining ours 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 where they're like. screaming together what they want to be but then they think they're 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 skyrockets combined in the explosion of florence italy it was a performance by chinese artist signed as a tribute to the birthplace of the renascence it also signaled the opening of an exhibition of his works on friday. day at the your feet see gallery sign has said that he feels greatly inspired by the nice ons 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 or tuesday are for the debutantes of vienna as opera ball was unveiled it was designed by donna tell the best such star italian designer took inspiration from motifs and pictured wagner's operas cycle the ring of the need for long it's not yet known if 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 a 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 it was instrumental and 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 especially except because that's what you see and you see that this boat has a very straight stem called the plumb bob 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 cooler we turn the light on but if there is 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 a smart girl in shine. she knows that first impressions count. yet so when the bus comes up everything has to be made. again and he 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. by strikes nowadays even on big bikes are

a maximum of sixty four we do mainly so they get through the panama canal and stuff like that so you know the bigger you make the bikes in the regs the more limited you are and what you can go on. so you yeah you have to think not just of the water but also things above makes it a different challenge. 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. a little boy 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 content. 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's so german we'll show you which stereotypes actually true. that's the sole job. once a week comes to me is to me go friend them days pokes fun at. typically germany idiosyncracies. we go weekly dose of gemini human. i don't know about today e.w.

a miner at first he worked for the marketing division of one does latest soccer team shanker but in twenty fifteen he hung up his publicity clips to pursue a dream he founded the group been held in heroes of the mind fashion label. work original miner's shirts and the items here you see it on the hood or the belt bag the fabric gets a new function that's he collaborates with design a felicitous caspar they even use real coal from the decommissioned mines this is not a nice accord i had the good luck to start at the victoria mine just as a 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 because of the source of that. they design every piece of clothing themselves here they're working on a jacket for this spring collection which they call lists there's a reason for that. it's come out of an older married couple came into the store

safely and. when you'll fall from the polls the best way to see them is in the photography of markos keeley whom we match for a series bright ideas. the northern lights a natural phenomenon that 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. not unlike how so beautiful on this 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. there is the different colors of. the northern lights the green then there is also pink or red and yellow. but i like the pink the green is normally not so green earth you see in the photos but the pink pink ask you three. different model for 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 justice.

that there is. in a front. or person or or whatever and something in the middle and then in the background there is not and. so that you get a perfect oh here's the northern lights are if there is only northern lights you can't think how big. marcus checks every evening to see how good his chances are of seeing the lights there visible about two hundred times a year. the other lights are created by an electrically 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. south pole. good weather for the nordic lights for a choice that the you have a clear sky because the northern lights they are. the one hundred kilometers from the surface of the clouds are much lower than if there is clouds you will see it

and 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 then 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 so you need to keep the batteries warm you need to have extra batteries to the if you can change one battery to your camera keep the battery. body use their body temperature to heat the batteries i normally use keep them in my clothes. but occasionally even mark is has to rest. i go go out when various clear sky and go to

focus for an order not implied. by the luckily it's cloudy quite often so i can sleep on both night. and the nightly trips into the freezing weather has 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 here on the desk of us and. next time on your remarks. from frankfurt decorates manhole covers and turns them into art served up toast for a continental brush first faked up a birthday cake or asked people to jump into the pool from the i die or the artist
