Enjoy your holiday season & a merry Yule. A micro-video on Clapper and on Instagram Some samples: . . ... Meanwhile while explaining the concept of a Belgian wintermarkt to Americans..

I thought one evening:

Do you have 5€ left in your pocket? That's enough to pay the entry fee for this annual gathering of Belgian steampunks. Or is it steampunkers? Or vaporistes? Meh.. Choose whatever you fancy. There are two kind of genre events in the Benelux: The big ones. Nearly all of them are owned by large corporations ( multinationals even ), held in big venues and these have become éxtremely expensive for both visitors and vendors. For the current entry prices you expect to be WOW-ed and entertained at a high level. High expectations are always difficult to meet. And there are a few tiny events trying to stay afloat. Just like for the big events the prices to get something organised have gone through the roof. But they mostly work with volonteers instead of a corporate overhead workforce consisting of more high payed managers than workers and they don't need to bring home truckloads of cash to please the shareholders & investors. This way they manage to maintain fair entry pric

For those who have received their Sony A7RV camera and are new to the Sony ecosystem or who want to find some of the new features hidden in the menu of this 61MP-behemoth with it's extra AI Autofocussing processor ( yes, that makes 3 processors inside 1 camera ) I'm doing a walkthough. There will be some real-life samples with cats, cows, fighterjets & horses, some things you probably already know and best of all: 40 minutes of my hoarse bronchitis-stricken voice. Enjoy . The Youtube video : Some of the items touched in this video: Auto ISO minimum shutter speed, different AF options, setting up the Fn/favorites menu & buttons, 1 button tracking, 1 button APS-C/Super35 mode, Clear image zoom, saving your camera settings, using your cellphone as a remote, .. Sample images made with A7RV ( mostly made before there was any RAW-support )

Supporting the One Love movement that has landed in the eye of the storm during soccer.  Everyone should have the right to love, like & consensually kiss who they want.  Simple. Just. Normal. A basic human right for both straight and LGBTQ people. Let everyone decide for themselves what makes them happy. Stop being jealous, spiteful, hateful, polarizing towards eachother. Move forward together and you'll both be stronger and happier. A silly video on Clapper The Instagram video: Dit bericht op Instagram bekijken Een bericht gedeeld door Red Cathedral (@redcathedral) Love and be loved. Namaste. (And for the gear-geeks: yes, photo & video made with the Sony A7RV) "Why not try to create a widget to show my Youtube shorts ?" I thought one evening:

The " 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference " as it's full name sounds is the latest in a long series of international conferences that should combat climate change. Highly doubtful they'll succede in getting and most importantly enforcing the necessary changes. . . We are already living the results of the current changes in gulfstream/jetstream/climate and still corporations and humans are denying it so they can continue making money from our system of overconsumption. Greed. Shortsightedness. Egocentrism. Egoism. Those traits are defining us.  . That these changes are directly caused by human actions has been proven over and over. Climate change & pollution are 2 sides of the same coin.  Neither a giant meteor, nor the eruption of a supervolcano is causing the next mass extinction event, but the way 1 species is ruling this planet. Overshoot day. All pictures are on Flickr .

Do you know the movie: "The good, the bad and the ugly"? Let's use those 3 words to analyse this event.  But 1st for those new visitors:  ATM I have finshed processing all pictures from RAW-files ( = digital negatives ) to JPG's ( = generally viewable photo files ) with some good music coming through the speakers. Samples & updates will be added to this page so you can follow the progress. ( Same with Facebook which might be easier to follow for updates ) All 150'ish images have been posted HERE on Flickr . ( = much better photo quality than social media & a good hiding place for any asocial, creative ambivert ) Once enough photos are ready they will be added to some video footage from the event for reels on Instagram & on Clapper . . So how was this Comic Con? THE GOOD ▲ Using the hall "Gare Maritime" for the event ( even if only for the Geek Market ). Yes, it is a beautiful hall. Yes, the natural light is gorgeous. Finally an ind
