Yesterday Ork and I went to a Strobist meeting in Breukelen, The Netherlands. We had a lot of fun, joining 18 photographers and 16 models, in an old abandoned industrial building.
Hey folks,
I’ve made my first stop-motion animation! And it’s also my first video on Flickr. Well, video - let’s just call it a concatenation of frames. I’ve enjoyed making it, I hope you enjoy watching.
Bloody Marit II This photo was made in an old ship factory in Amsterdam Noord (the NDSM Wharf). We picked a suitable old and faded green wall as the background, set up the lights, and started shooting.
Holiday Special: Sausage What are you looking at? It’s a sausage. “Rookworst” (a type of smoked sausage), to be exact, probably well known to every Dutch reader. It was hand-made by my parents’ butcher and wrapped with some Christmas fluff, also by the butcher.
Jojo in the snow Well waddayano, even with all the global warming we can get a few days’ worth of real winter in The Netherlands. Clogged up public transportation, taking corners sideways with our car, and a beautiful white world.
Bl3nder | CD-presentatie Leipe Shit Ouwe! I was hired to cover the presentation of Bl3nder’s first album “Leipe Shit Ouwe!”. Their performance was energetic and powerful, and I think it shows in the photos.
Bl3nder | Cyril Directie De Uitmarkt is the opening of the cultural season in Amsterdam. We went to see Bl3nder, and they totally rocked! It was the first time I saw Def P (the world’s best rapper) live, and it was everything I hoped for :) Their drummer was absolutely amazing!
My favourite photo editor and manager is Digikam. One of its features is easily importing RAW files. However, with its default settings you may loose details in brightly lit areas of your photos.
I’m in the process of giving all my photos a “lens:type” machine tag on Flickr. This will indicate which lens I used to make the photo. Check it out:
Canon 17-55 mm F/2.
