I went to the area near Brussels Airport with my friend Lourdes (her photo website) in May 2010 to hunt for interesting locations for the upcoming photo shoots and assignments. We found some really interesting spots for portraits and creative pictures in the area of Brussels Airport. I ended up taking few portrait test shots …
How to shoot better pictures – Film Camera Style Tip
I was looking over some of my older photography gear few weeks ago and obviously I ran across my old film cameras and old memory cards from my first digital cameras. I started to recall the times of film photography and compare it with the experience of the digital world. It took me awhile (being …
Exposure Is NOT Shutter Speed!
I met a group of young photographers in Brussels (Belgium) few days ago. I overheard them discussing various aspects of photography so I joined them of course. At some point, they got to the point of talking about exposure as if they were talking about shutter speed (for example that the exposure was 1/60 sec.). …
Aperture 3: Why Video in Photography Software?
One of the most interesting (and probably unexpected features when Aperture 3 was first released) is the possibility to edit and compile movies from pictures, videos and sound files. I already heard from few people the following question: Ok, but iMovie does the same thing, so why do I need the same feature in Aperture …
Aperture 3 Finally usable: Aperture 3.0.2 Update
You might recall that  I mentioned in my previous blog article I would be moving away from Aperture 3 and I promised to tell you why. Well, things have changed in the past week and they’ve changed quite dramatically, but in a good sense. Apple released update to Aperture 3 with the number 3.0.2 on 25 …
Playground From Hell
Every kid has nightmares once in awhile. I remember when I was a kid, I had quite few nightmares and bad dreams and oh boy… how scared I was of those monsters hiding under my bed and in my closet. But I remember one particular nightmare quite vividly: a scary, dark and empty playground with …
Weekend Brussels Photo Walk
It has finally started to be a bit warmer in Brussels and it’s possible to stay outside without freezing to the ground after 5 minutes. I couldn’t miss this opportunity and I spent a weekend walking around and doing my first Brussels Photo Walk. As I’m not so familiar with a city yet, I got …
Who let the ghosts out?
Did you see any ghosts or paranormal activities last night? If not, then you should! Or maybe you were a paranormal activity yourself ? I know two holidays closely related to each other: Halloween and All Saints . The last one is a typical Catholic holiday celebrated on 1 November. Halloween is of course a …
From the Attic: Belgian Countryside and my new photography motto
I think this photography portfolio will soon turn out as a combination of a portfolio and a blog, Why? Well, I have found much more pictures ‘from the attic’ (taken with my old camera(s)) and I really have nothing special to write about them. Sometimes there is no story to tell about a picture, maybe …
From the Attic: Vineyard in Maastricht
Who would expect to find vineyards in Maastricht? For those of you who don’t know where Maastricht is: it is in the south of the Netherlands. So what’s so amazing about vineyards in Maastricht? Well, that they exist at all here! It’s neither the warmest place in Europe nor with lots of sun. I actually …
Dutch National Sport Week in Maastricht
The Dutch are famous for many things, but to name just few: soft drugs, wooden shoes, depression, again soft drugs and bikes. As you can imagine, the latter point was the most popular during Dutch National Sport Week in April 2009. I was in Maastricht at that time and I managed to capture few interesting …
