Mass fun!
Yes, that time of the year again: 10.000 people taking a dip in the cold waters (8 degree) of the North Sea at the beach town of Scheveningen. A tradition that was sold out this year for the very first time. Only in Holland!

DJ’s Erick E, Fedde Le Grand and radio DJ Niek van der Bruggen threw a balloon powered houseparty at 4500 feet for the Radio538 & Warchild charity week.
Check the photos here:
This video is a time-lapse of over 1400 images shot over 3 hours at a 6 second interval with a Canon 5D + Canon 20mm f2.8. Autofocus was set at AI servo with the full range focalpoints on.
Due to the fact that the setup was in the shade of the balloon I opted for a “safe” Aperture setting of f2.8 at 160ISO realizing this would lead to some exposure errors. There was no real way to avoid it and it worked out well, especially when the balloon was freed from the other two and sunlight hit the DJ and the tables.
The largest Dutch radio station and the charity that helps children and parents from war-torn regions setup a stunt-filled week to raise funds to help as many children as possible. People could get chosen to do all sorts of stunt by texting the special number. Persons lucky enough to send the xxth text message were chosen for the stunt. In this case 60 people for a rare feat: tying three hot air ballons for a house party at 4500 feet!
Balloons were donated by A3 Ballonvaart!
As a senior Radio538 photographer, I was asked to photograph one of the coolest stunts of the week and got to climb aboard the formerly largest hot air balloon in the world with a group of collegues.

Camera failure (error 99) after 5 photos sucks big time, especially at a big photoshoot like this! Three photos came out nice though, these are two of them.
See “behind the scenes” images at my Fotograferen.net Facebook!
The Unox New Years Dive saw 10.000+ people jumping into the icecold North Sea at Scheveningen Beach in The Netherlands. A great and fun event to photograph, especially if your equipment doesn’t fail on you.

View from 25 meters high in the RTL Netherlands television crane at the back of the Radio538 Koninginnedag concert area. Koninginnedag (or Queensday) is basically the biggest yearly national party in the Netherlands and the Radio538 hosts a large free festival in Amsterdam which about 200.000 people attend during the course of the day.
The panorama is a stitch of several Canon 5DmkII images to make it one 25 megapixel super panorama. Watch out for more to come.

Landing on a tiny mountain lake with a floatplane is a fantastic experience wherever you are. But in this weather and in one of the most stunning places on earth: Tofino, Vancouver Island, it was simply and totally unforgettable. More on this trip for ANWB REIZEN Magazine very soon.
Many thanks go out to Tofino Air for making this one hour flight possible.
Filmed with the Canon 5DmkII Video function, so click HD for extra quality.
I’m very happy with the new Duikamagzine (Dive Magazine) that just came out, a four page article on one of my favorite subjects of 2008: the Turtle beach at Ras al Jinz (check here for an earlier article on this website in English ).
