Weekly Random Shot: Awakefest 2010

James Holden uhm, rocking?, the crowd...
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.

Faces of Oman

In december I had the privilege to travel Oman for a week and see so many places and people my head started to spin after a little while. Not only is the countryside spectacular but what really struck me where the people: their joy, friendliness and their faces. This is a tribute to them. Oman must be one of the friendliest places in the Middle-East.

Sensation Black in 360 Panorama (QTVR)


One last time Sensation Black 2008, in Quicktime VR,

And how is this for a backstage/understage!!!

Sensation White in 360 Panorama [updated]

Hooray, my 50th post since my new website went online this January! And a special one as well: a 360 degree panorama (Quicktime VR or QTVR) taken from the centre of the stage. Because of all the shows with water (you can see the reflection on the black catwalk) I was only able to do it very late at night when they had a non-water bit which was long enough for me to take the necessary images (a lot). The light coming through the roof spoils it a little bit but it still gives you a nice idea.
