Photo is one of a series of 5 shots taken with my Canon 1DmkIII and my 70-200 f2.8. To counter the bright light in the back I had set the camera at 1 stop overexposure while keeping at an Av setting of f5.6. With an ISO of 400 this led to a shuttertime of 1/400. Converted to B&W in Photoshop with the black deepened a little bit with the levels tool.

As a proud dad of a gloriously happy little girl I end up taking zillions and zillions of photo’s. Just recently the whole family moved over to Curaçao for a decent relaxation and a tiny bit of underwaterwork. I decided to post images from our girl more recent on my Flickr account and a few favorite ones on the website. Please enjoy, I hope she makes you smile!

As always, I’m available to photograph Dance4Life in the Netherlands.This years third edition was no different. Tons of happy kids, lots of good artists and, most importantly: over €600.000 collected for various AIDS/HIV projects for children in Africa!

This year, 50,000 young people worldwide have taken a stand against HIV and AIDS. Today, these young people from 19 different countries were united live by satellite during the Dance4Life Event. Together they danced to the same rhythm, dancing against AIDS and in support of life!
