What an edition again! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a houseparty go this mental as was the case with David Guetta’s performance. Even though I’m not the biggest fan of his music, his crowd interaction will give me goosebumps for quite some time to come. In my opinion Tomorrowland is certainly one of the best parties of the year with a great atmosphere, relaxed people, amazing stages and a simply well though out event.
Ten years of Q-Dance, “representing the harder styles in dance music”, had to be celebrated by a massive party. And fully-blown it was, a fully decorated ArenA stadium in Amsterdam was the venue for this absolutely insane partynight. Hot, humid and loooooud!
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.
It took Earth 20.000 times longer to create life than it takes humanity to destroy the planet. Is this the scenario of our era? Are we out of control? Or are we…. In Qontrol?
