Learning how to Scuba-dive

I took this photo about a year ago while on a trip to Curacao (Dutch Caribbean). It’s a photo of my sister in law doing a refresher scuba course after not having dived for about ten years.

I really wanted to capture the “learning” atmosphere as well as the holiday setting with blue sky and something exotic. The swimming pool of our diving hotel (Habitat, I recommend it if you like to be in the nature part of the island) turned out to be perfect.

Took quite a few clicks to get a good half-shot with all elements in it. The parasol just gives it a nice touch.

Taken with my 5D and a 15mm fisheye, at f10 and 1/200 sec. There was more than enough light to work without flashes and set ISO at 100.

Weekly Random Shot: Classic Dutch view

Classic Dutch view

While en route from the mainland to Vlieland, one of the northern Dutch islands in the Wadden Sea the sun suddenly broke through on a very dull and grayish day. I quickly rushed onto the viewing deck from the ferry and just as we were approaching the island I saw this vessel (the PI 66 a Lemsteraak) in the distance and figured it would line up nicely with the sandy beaches in less than a minute.

I quickly changed lenses from my 16-35 to my 100-400 (EF), manually setting it at f9 and 1/250th of a second to get a nice amount of depth of field for the ship and the background. After that it was just a matter of waiting a bunch of seconds for the line-up to be perfect, the shot was pretty straight forward from there on, the result couldn’t be more Dutch!

Photo is part o a bike trip to two of the smaller Northern Dutch Islands: Schiermonnikoog & Vlieland. Report is for the 2011 Bike Special that comes with the largest travel magazine in the Netherlands: ANWB REIZEN Magazine.

Dance4Life Kickoff

Saturday the 26th was the kickoff for the new Dance4Life season (which is two-yearly). An almost blue sky and the Rotterdam Willemsbrug were the setting for the start. Goal was to make a live and dancing Dance4Life logo on the bridge. Just enough kids showed up despite the May holiday being a little bit of bad-timing. But hey, it was a nice sunny day which was closed in style by DJ Don Diablo.
