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!

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.

Shoot for Unox (the largest soup and saugage brand in the Netherlands) celebrating the "Opening van het Stamppotseizoen 2010".
For press and website purposes this shoot was about the opening for the traditional potato stew called "Boerenkool met worst": cabbage-potato stew with smoked sausage. A very popular wintertime dish in the Netherlands.
This years opening was celebrated with 6 families who sent in their favorite recipe for the dish. They were invited to pick the first cabbage from the fields in Northern Holland.

Just had to upload these two quickly, taken from the infamous Unox Nieuwjaarsduik 2010 (click here for 2008 and 2009). This year turned out the best from the three tries I’ve done so far in making these images with my drysuit and underwater camera. More shots later today or enjoy me at work (20:21) in this item at the main RTL4 News for January 1st.

Always my first assignment of the year: the Unox Newyears dive in Scheveningen!
Boy, what a great way to start early on January 1st.
With the cold this years edition saw less people joining the dive (about 7.000 instead of the usuall 10.000) but was it a dive indeed: everbody waited to the last second before jumping in en masse! Never saw such a spectacular dive here, altough it was over really, really quickly: just 6 minutes and the Northsea was empty again. Jup, it was cold indeed.

Just had to upload this one:
Why won’t it fly?
Taken last week at a new Unox Event (check their brilliant Newyears dive here) the Dutch Kiting Day, which was plagued by torrential rains and typically Holland weather, for fall not high summer! Anyway, I was pleased to see so many kids and parents show up and between the downpoors and it was tons of fun photogrpahing the kids. There can hardly be any better subjects in the world!
The patient dad from heaven.
Ground kite and kid color combo.
Launching kite mayhem.
That’s not gonna work either…
Perhaps the Dutch are indeed a bit weird. In any way, we love diving into an almost freezing NorthSea at noon on newyears day. It’s called the Unox Nieuwjaarsduik. So why not bring out the trusty Canon 20D with UK-Germany housing, put on my drysuit and just wait.. till 12?
