A walk through Dresden Neustadt

My friend Andreas came over for a visit on Saturday and we decided to take a walk through Dresden Neustadt, commonly known for it's bars and pubs and the (mostly) young and alternative people living there. He gave me a Tokina 80-200mm for testing, a good MF-only lens which is quite sharp. The pictures are all made with this lens except for a few fish-eye shots. What I learned? A minimum focal length of 80mm are quite a lot in a city...

As soon as we got there we came across a demonstration against Freikorps, something I do not recall being an issue here at the moment. Maybe that is why they were only a hand-full of people attenting:

Walking on, I tried to practice my manual focussing skills with this read balloon and got this luck shot:

Katys Garage, one of the old clubs in this area:

Some of the more interesting graffiti:

Going through the Kunsthofpassage which is home to a lot of small shops:

One of the most visited place is the Courtyard of Elements:
