Pocket Cam: Stand by Me in the Niederdorf
Saturday, April 4, 2009 at 4:27AM My Photo Blog is the result of having a photo camera with me at all times, but I also always have a video camera with me as well. In this Pocket Cam segment of my blog I will showcase entertaining bits of video I have captured during my day-to-day life.
Last night Karla and I were walking in the Niederdorf when a lively group of men began singing acappella tunes at random moments as they strolled down the street. Eventually I pulled out my Canon G9, switched into video mode, and captured this little gem:
The video from the G9 is obviously not the greatest quality, but there is something very charming about this grainy little video. I really like how the different people walk in and out of the scene, especially when the couple holding hands moves over the camera. I also really like the framing, with the Grossmunster in the background and the one street lamp backlighting the singers. A perfect first entry for Pocket Cam (although this post probably qualifies as well).

I'll think of this cute little video when I walk in the Niederdorf later today. Moments like these make life worth living. Thanks for sharing. ♥
Thank you for sharing the moment. Singing in the streets is a sure sign that spring is here at last!
Was it a Polterabend? Is that why they were singing?
Thanks for the comments everyone. I think they were just singing because the weather is finally nice and they had drinking a bit. I also assume they are some kind of organized group because they were too good.
