Let’s see how far I can push my camera color-wise without the help of photoshop.

Cheers!

Okay guys, I think everyone has noticed I’ve been away for a while. I have a job. Yes, I have a job. It’s true.

Anyway took my cam to work. And I do respect the no-inside-photography-rules, so I took it outside. Here’s some pictures from my “workspace”!

Did I edit them: Yes.

Do I care about people who hate editing: No.

Why?

Simple. Photography is an interpretation of a mixture between life, how one sees it mixed with his or her feelings at that time. So there you have it. Limiting yourself within a creative branch is like creating engines to go slower. Pointless and not as much as FUN!

Trying out a new studio setup with a black background and an improvised softbox. So far I’m quite happy with it but I’ve got lot’s to learn… luckily!

Heikki’s helmet when he still raced for ING Renault F1. I got this helmet from Isabelle Connor after an assignment I did for her. That made me so proud!

Here you can see Heikki’s autograph really good, awesome!

A bit edited to my likings, but probably less than how much you’d suspect… the light setup, less contrast and the white balance already does a lot.

Last but not least, where the magic happens:

Comments/questions are very welcome of course! Hope you enjoy.

Bought some thick paper to create a new product studio. So far so good. I also got a HUGE black sheet so that will be fun to play with. In the meanwhile: test shots and some skateboarding action from Arnhem where I had a job interview..

And now the promised skateboarding stuff…

I won’t offer a download since Canon learned from the 2.0.3 firmware and placed a mirror… but the new 2.0.4 firmware can be found here:

Canon Download site

And a MIRROR.

I really wonder if anyone from Canon saw my website…

Reason they updated the firmware so quickly:

There was a phenomenon in which the manual recording settings made in C1/C2/C3 were changed and sound could not be recorded if manual sound recording was used in the C1/C2/C3 settings and the camera was subsequently turned off (or if Auto Power Off was activated). This does not occur in modes other than C1/C2/C3.

Thanks Canon for a quick fix for this issue! Not that I use it since I love manual… but I’m sure lot’s of people use it!
