NewYears Dive 2011 (Nieuwjaarsduik)

Jan 022011

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.

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.

Bulgaria’s Black Sea Coast

May 212008

For the largest Dutch travel monthly: ANWB REIZEN Magazine, May 2008 issue, I did a full report on the Black Sea coast at the end of the summer of 2007. Focus of the article was the “Betonpolitie” or “Concrete Police”: a series of articles that asks the question if there is too much building going on at certain destinations that were renowned for their untouched beauty. In this case the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. As it turns out, a lot of the coastal line has been heavily overdeveloped but I still managed to find a few relatively untouched places along the way. Not an easy article to make as I was travelling alone and I manage to do about 1600 kilometres in one week to find all the good bits.

What is an article on scuba-diving doing in a Ski Magazine? Well, that’s gotta be the summer-edition full of climbing, biking and this time some diving too. It’s in Dutch, sorry for those who can’t read it. The openingspread was taken at the Port Ghalib Resort near Marsa Alam. See this post for more under water images from this area.
