Archive – StampMedia – Pukkelpop 1

I haven’t been out lately so no new pictures for now. On the other side, I realize I haven’t actually shown many pictures I have taken for StampMedia, despite the fact that’s actually quite a big portion of my collection.

So here’s Pukkelpop 2008. This will be the first set of three. Hats off and a link in my blogroll to anyone who finds out what each set mainly focuses on and the correlation between all three sets.

Stuck

Ever been in a rut, thinking you’re stuck where you are and that it seems impossible to improve, not because you’re the best. No, because you think you can’t do better. I’ve had that feeling for some time now. Don’t know why. My last picture accepted by StampMedia is over a month ago, but then again, I haven’t done that many things lately aside Dam Davert, but it seems none of my pictures are online. Oh well, more reason to improve.

And as for restarting this blog? Just something to do I guess.

Anyways, there are some things I sometimes notice browsing the flickrs of other people. Lots of people would upload up to ten pictures of the same thing, only slightly different. To me, I’d upload around four to five pictures of one single event or subject. Maybe I should lighten up and stop being so critical of myself.

Before I show my photo’s, I need to give a shoutout to someone. Karen, aka theviewfromtheafternoon, manages to do what I can’t do with my DSLR. Awesome colours, creative portraits.  All that with a bridge camera. Impressive, isn’t it?

Anyways, to my lacklustre pictures. In Antwerp, there was quite a majestic ship moored on our docks. The Christian Radich, a Norse three-master. Probably one of my first tries to stay in series, I actually got three shots of it. :O

If underexposed, it was by very little. It was actually quite grim outside, so that's why this unfortunately dark shot. I'm sending a bumped up version to StampMedia though. It looks a bit better, but somehow I like the look of the darker version.

HDR Composite of the ship. The best recieved photo of the trio. The cut-off bow however is annoying the hell out of me. If only I noticed it there.

Sorry for lack of updates, been completely occupied with StampMedia. Here are some pictures I guess.

A busker asking me for a light. I asked him for a picture.

I can't think of anyone else who'd managed to make a skatepark feel depressing.

Where am I?
