James Holden uhm, rocking?, the crowd…

Photo was taken at the 10 year Anniversary party of Awakenings: Awakefest in the Recreation Area Halfweg. June 26th 2010

When I entered the tent where James Holden was performing I immediately saw this couple at the front of the crowd.
I always have one camerabody with a telelens ready to shoot at these large events (which means: set at Av). Sometimes you have to act so quickly there is no time to adjust your settings properly on manual. So this one was taken with a maximum open aperture (f5) with my 100-400mm Canon EF f4.5-5.6. While shooting I adjusted to -2/3 of a stop in order to get a darker image and a slightly higher shuttertime (at 800ISO). I was hoping to get the couple frozen (they weren’t moving, so that was easy) with a blurred crowd behind them due to movement.
Fortunately the lens has stabilization so I can take really low shuttertimes (1/13th in this image) with my pretty steady hand. Took a whole bunch of shots and this one came out nicest (some are sharper but I like the people moving next to them, like the guy on the left, in this shot).
Converted it to B&W in Photoshop to get some more focus on the couple: reds turned up in the B&W control panel and then used levels to deepen the blacks and finally slightly upped their mouthes with a mask and then adjusting with the curve tool as there was a bit of shadow in that part of the shot.

"Beesies" are the extremely popular World Soccer give-aways from the largest supermarket chain in the Netherlands: Albert Heijn.

My wife washed them before giving them our your 2 year old daughter (you never know if they’ve been produced with nasty colorings). They were hanging on our rack in the bathroom with our little girls socks… just really liked the image.

Photo was shot (without flash) in RAW to be able to adjust for the indoor lighting afterwards. 400 ISO and 1/80th at f2.5 with a 50mm f1.8 lens.

The night before our son was born I was still working late at another cool Bacardi Visita event in the Las Palmas II venue in Rotterdam. After a somewhat slow night (not in quantity of people or drinks being consumed) things went massively crazy in the last hour. With so much red and purple lights in a mostly dim lit room exposure settings are a nightmare. This was taken on a manual of 1/15th of a sec. at f2.8 and 400ISO. The red flares are usually a problem with this sort of light but in this case it adds a nice bit of extra power to the shot.

Delta LLoyd North Sea Regatta

Jun 012010

Just a day before becoming a father again I had an hour or two available to photograph the Delta LLoyd North Sea Regatta 2010 in Scheveningen. Just tried to stick to doing some nice imagery with a focus on the Delta LLoyd logos and not spending too of my not-so-good-concentration on the surrounding events (there was a really nice jazzy show in the evening). Here’s just a few images that I liked taking in the poor weather, but in the end the fog just added to the atmosphere and gave the images a sligthly surreal feeling.
