Drievliet, Toverland and Phantasialand.

...Efteling!

Still need to go there.
I somehow thought that Efteling belonged on that list, but wasn't sure.
A picture of the Vliegende Hollander would have made it a lot easier to figure that out.

speaking of efteling (english), but that's a whole different topic



i call it ass of the bloated pony and the appalachian mountains. i edited it probably for the worse but wtf.

Using a wireless flash is sooo much fun. Focusing in absolute darkness isn't. Here it worked out somehow.

oly crap, that's amazing!!!!




I went to Downtown LA and took some pics today. Posted them on Facebook:

I don't have the best camera by any means and don't have any photo editing software on this computer either...

I don't have the best camera by any means and don't have any photo editing software on this computer either... and still take better pictures than most everyone.

yeesh, rub it in our collective faces more.

Kings Island, earlier this year.

yeesh, rub it in our collective faces more.

those are the best ones i've taken since i got the camera (~300 photos). it doesn't have an option to adjust the shutter speed. point and click really.

Holy crap. My roommate did the fill-our-room-with-balloons thing last year. He (and I) regretted it later, though, when he had to throw up and needed to fight his way through 300 balloons to get to the trash can.

that's pretty funny. they filled about 650 or so (those pictures were taken when there were about 350) and plan to pop them tonight. i find it funny because one of the guys just sleeps with his girlfriend while the other one has to make a fortress of fans around his bed to keep them off at night. smells like latex in the hall when the door is closed too.

they ordered 200 glowsticks, so we'll see how that goes.

Yeah, the dude I roomed with last year (now we live in singles right next to each other, which is nice) wants to cover every surface in his room with bubble wrap. Unfortunately the $3000 worth of recording equipment and musical instruments he's got in there is preventing him from doing that.

Back on topic: I'm back into film photography now. Is there any way to scan in negatives and/or a contact sheet so that I don't need to make a print of EVERY picture if I want it on my computer?

Out of the cam,
apart from cropping from 3:2 to 16:9, adding canvas, resizing and some sharpening after resizing.
Canvas looks horrible because of resizing ...

Some testing I did for a picture for a local confectionary (Cafe Classique, Münster) arguably serveing the best cakes in town. Picture shows cacao beans on a chocolate bar.
Need to redo it with a lower aperture in order to get more depth of sharpness.

Used two wireless flashes, one from the side and another from the top to reduce shadows from the first flash. Tabletop photography is a lot of fun. Need to get a softbox

Didn't take the raw image on this one, but edited it using various lighten/darken, dodge/burn layers and the gradient map tool in photoshop:

That is amazing.

Also used it to make my new sig.

nice car, i have one myself

That is amazing, Magnus. Any chance of a desktop size for me? 1280x800?
