BuzzParty 2025 in Graz

BuzzParty 2025 in Graz.jpg

I had these photos up for almost two day now, but i was always better with taking photos then writing :)

From the moment i learned about the event, and seeing where Graz is on the map i was sure i want to go. Was just not sure how. As always i managed to leave everything till the last day, booked the room a week before and found the mini buss (van) just 4 days before the trip.

But, everything ended up even better then i imagined. A direct line from Belgrade to Graz, and driving you to the address. What more can you ask from a transport?

With a trip that started at 3:30AM (not great when you usually go to sleep later) and finished around 12:30PM (The driver thought he is on a Formula 1 driver's test) i was in Graz almost a full day before the official start.

What i learned from Amsterdam and Split, getting at least one day before will save you from memory gaps from lack of sleep for the rest of the event.

You probably read like 10 recaps of the event so i will spare you from reading it again :D

Overall you always learn something new about Hive projects, even when you think you do your best to follow everything you can.

SPACELEND was a great location, with everything this kind of an event needed.

Thing about Hive is, it is more then just a database writing blocks. And i am pretty sure most people who attended a live event will confirm that.

To be honest, i am mostly a second meeting guy. If i met you for the first time, especially in a bigger group, there is a big chance we will not be talking much. But second time, i will probably have a feeling i know you for ages :D

2P3A8374 copy.jpg

This reminded me, i should check out the newcomer. Anyone knows his username? :D

I didn't take a lot of photos on the first day, as i was busy catching up with everyone. Also no photos from the city walk (i don't like to be a photographer in a group of people walking on a mission), and no photos of the Schnitzel. Not a food photographer but considering how many of them i eat, i was surprised i have 0 photos of it.

On a way back i was tricked to walk over the hill. Not sure why people like to climb up and down, when there is perfectly flat path.

First day was more of a mingling and talking with everyone. Second was presentations from early morning.

After the presentations i was tricked into walking to Schloss Eggenberg. No hills, at leas :D

I would complain about the hot sun, but it's been raining for 4 days strait at the moment, so the weather was great. And Hive umbrella was great for sun protection.

2P3A8622 copy.jpg

We came in late, so the museums located at Schloss Eggenberg were already closing. But lack of people gave some interesting opportunities for photography.

Schloss Eggenberg Graz.jpg

I must admit, it is an interesting place for "street" photography.

And all the arcs and pillars with people sprinkled around are offering an opportunity for some interesting shots.

I could see myself spending several afternoons here just waiting for moments :D

2P3A8659 copy.jpg

2P3A8688 copy a.jpg

A group that took the buss also got beer with them. Not a bad idea. And it was nice that Schloss Eggenberg has a picnic area.

When I see your photos, I don't regret anymore that I missed taking photos at the event... 😃 You did a fantastic job and compared to the rest, our photos from the event look like kids playing with phones... 😂 FANTASTIC SHOTS! 😍

Thank you for taking your time to do them! It was nice to meet you again and see you soon! 😃

I agree with everything you say, why lament about the photos we didn't take when this guy surprises us with spontaneous moments and a very close up view of what happened. I think once the events are over, I'm just going to think about waiting for his photos hahahaha.

That's exactly what I did before... Waited for his photos so I can use them in my "recap" post (as my photos suck)... Now, I can begin writing... 😃

but i have 0 photos of the Schnitzel. So everyone has a role 😄

i would never be able to write posts about food like you do. i would probably need some time to even get photos of food like you do :D

Getting to know people in RL is always fun on Hive events (and i am someone who is not really eager to meet strangers :D )

It was a cool event.

My weird power to observe and notice :D and a Canon r6 and mostly Canon 85mm prime lens (few of them are 35mm). Good camera helps with not so great light conditions.

Hvala puno na info :)!!
Uvijek se divim slikama, a nikako da nadem neku okej kameru da mi odgovara. Imam jednu analognu al ta je vec skupila paucinu🤣

Ali da, u oku je sve :D!

iskreno ako pricamo samo o fotografiji (u normalnom osvetljenju), bilo sta sto je spadalo u profesionalnu opremu zadnjih 10 godina :D

nove kamere su mnogo bolje u mraku i mnogo je jednostavnije fokusiranje (automatika). Sve ostalo je lepo imati, olaksava zivot al moze i bez toga :D

evo ovde canon r6 i 20 godina star canon 5d. Canon 5d je bio jedan od prvih digitalnih profesionalnih kamera. Cak i svetlosni uslovi nisu sjajni.

https://peakd.com/hive-194913/@bil.prag/20-year-old-camera-vs-modern-mirrorless-valley-echo-rock-fest-day-3

sad i ja ponovo gleam fotke i za neke nisam siguran kojom su kamerom fotkane :D

Ako pricamo o videu. Od canon-a verovatno sve sto je izaslo posle R6 (i r6). od Sonija verovatno moze i malo starije.

i think you will be one of those responsible when AI takes over and makes a psychological profile of me 😂

and i want a "thank you" in your next book 😝

it is probably non of it.

i mean i can't always tell do people say what they actually mean :D

just a weird creature on this earth that does not know how to respond to them :D for example Thanks sounds empty. or maybe just overthinking it.

or to answer with a quote :D "I always think of the right words too late, I know the answer when I'm alone." (and to be honest, it does not sound that good in english as in serbian :D )

Did you take the card? I had like 10 of them so i didn't notice :D also have 50 NFC stickers and not sure what to do with them. Damn the Aliexpress compulsion buying :D

For some reason it does feel like it was a month ago :D . And to make it easyier to you, last day and a half it was raining, but you do live in Nederlands so maybe you don't mind 😂

it was a great one. maybe even better then HiveFest in the hanging out with people sense. It is less overwhelming to try to get to talk with everyone when there are less people, but still enough to get a all the different talks :D

I've always found people are pretty friendly. Hive is not that big and so we know what a lot of them are doing online.

Your cover photo is poetic, taking this picture with the new user that joined us has a lot of meaning, it's a bit like she's facing all that is huge in the Hive ecosystem, and yet, she looks relaxed and amazed at the same time. A very wise picture choice!

It's great to read that for someone the transfer to Graz was pretty straightforward and comfortable, it seems to me that it's very difficult to make it easy for everyone, but if at least a handful of users have it easy, it's worth it!

Good point that you have learned from other experiences, no doubt arriving earlier eases the process of adapting to the flood of emotions and activities that we get into during these meetings. No doubt you are right, for us Hive is much more than a blockchain and you have managed to convey it with your photos.

I'm dying of love that you captured the moment of my reunion with @honeydue haha I don't know about you guys, but I think it's a beautiful photo, thank you for watching carefully every moment @bil.prag

@growandbow has a very good photo profiling, he seems to come off well all the time naturally!

The photos of @masterswatch are great, I think it describes him pretty well, either very committed to getting things right or very relaxed and professional in the surroundings!

The reflected concentration of @ph1102 @elmirabear and @edje as well as the smiles of @cryptospa @tibfox and @akipponn are delightful!

Also the joy and good atmosphere you captured at the impromptu picnic are absolutely fantastic, what a great time we had and how many laughs I'm reliving thanks to your photos. I loved that you documented the process of the heart photo that was so much fun for @mipiano @livinguktaiwan and the rest of us hahahaha.

Thank you so much for making the effort to write down your experience of that day, for sharing so many great pictures with us and being our memory keeper. you rock!

PS.. I LOVED this picture out of 140 in the gallery hahaha my face so fuuuuun!

My reflected concentration - Seems I have a much different impression than I thought I had; "Where are my smiles?" Perhaps at sleep, but it could also be RIP forever. Uhm, need laughter therapy 😆

you convinced me, i am putting that one in the art collection :D

i don't count the hour trip to Belgrade by car. But overall i can't complain. On the ride back it took us over 11 hours, but we had a cool driver and a front seat, so it was an experience.

I do love that photo of you and Honeydue.

Growandbow does have that face that camera loves 😂

if you look closely i missed the focus on that photo of Akipponn (not even sure where the focus is). But i loved the smile, so i had to include it :D

I commented with someone, i think with Lluna, that you do speak with expressions 😄
