Red Cathedral

It snowed on December 4th and that's rather special down here, but still we made it back & forth for a very short visit to Uchronicité , the Belgian steampunk gathering. Like before, it's an extremely friendly event where you take some time to chat with people. You can always read my remarks about the event in the reports from previous editions .  Since it was a very short visit, only a few pictures were made. ▷ All  photos can be found on/downloaded from my Flick r once processed & uploaded ▷ A microscopic video might go to Clapper & maybe to to Instagram . ▷ NEW : Buy Red Cathedral a whisky on Ko-Fi ▷ Updates on the post-processing progress will go to THE Facebook . ▷ A " How to download stills from Flickr " tutorial was posted here . . Sadly enough I did not taste any of that delicious mead.. driving through the snow will make you think twice. And for those who are strong in mathematics: we left at 17h and I finally got home at 20h30. .

As you might know: Sanicole 2022 was the first event I shot some airshow stills and it was while working at the Sony booth. Actually it was good fun, not só very different from the fast cars I shot over 15 years ago.. and the cameras have advanced quite a bit since then. Since the airshows in Limburg (BE) alternate between the airbases of Sanicole & Kleine-Brogel, this year we were invited to the military airbase of Kleine-Brogel with a booth during the Belgian Airforce Days. . . Yes, those BAF-Days were during the heatwave of early September and now it's the last week of November.. and I still have almost 200 selected stills to process. Maybe that tells you something about the workload of these last months and of the prioritization. . And that's too bad because it was a great event to work  ( Eventhough I could hardly stand on my foot due to a tear in the ankle ligament which hurt as much as this spit that's haunting me at the moment.. Decades of pushing your o

Normally I don't post much about the dayjob.. eventhough it's hardly only by day.. For this Sony video we dove into the night.. again. The 2nd time this week .. and it's only Wednesday. " The new A7CII camera is perfect for streetphotography ", Sony marketing said. So I invited someone with contagious enthousiasm, a very extravert style of streetphotography and an allround nice guy to GLOW, the festival of lights in Eindhoven.  . . We got lucky with the weather: it was the only dry evening of the week and by 9PM the terraces of the bars were so full you would think it was a Saturday evening in Summer instead of a November Wednesday. . With a filmcrew following his every move, it was not very easy to stealthily photograph people, so streetphotographer Brendan de Clercq changed his modus operandi and started using the contact he made with the people for street portraits instead of candid sniper portraits. . Quickly things got out of hand and entire
