Event - Internationale carnavalsstoet Hasselt (2024)

Yes, I know: I had promised to cover only one carnaval's parade per year.
But I have a great excuse: a brandnew camera fell into my lap to experiment with and I needed an event for testing. So no, it was neither the free booze, nor the happy people, nor the smoutebollen that lured me to Hasselt.. those are simply perks of working.

De Oude Belgen

Just to be clear: that Sony A9III is a magnificent camera with crazy specs. I will probably consider buying the 2nd or 3rd generation of its Global Shutter sensor technology, but for now it's great, but not needed for what I shoot. Sports + wildlife shooters and everyone who runs into banding effects are the intended targets and they'll enjoy it greatly. 

Hasselt carnaval has a very enjoyable parade wth several international participants & loads of confetti. The 2024 parcours had some very long, straight streets.. perfect to test a huge 300mm f2.8-lens.
Thes most excillerating was however something tiny & strictly personal: I really felt good that day and jumped right into the action, getting in the heart of the parade and having participants pose. Things the überconfident old-Me used to take for granted and of which I feared even a month ago that I wasn't capable of doing anymore.
So all I need now are more good days!
