The toilet seat reads “la sensation du samedi matin” , which means “saturday morning’s feeling”. bad hang over.
Self portrait for a little photography contest we started with some friends. this month’s theme was “sensation” (feeling).
there was a nice overcast sky outside, unfortunately the window is prety small and in front of the sink, which means [...]
saturday morning, in my kitchen, the soft light is a courtesy of my velux (roof window) and the overcast weather.
Yesterday I received a new ebay collapsible diffuser/reflector (translucent, white, black, silver, gold). prety impressive quality for the bucks. It comes from Yongnuo, the ones who make the RF-602 flash trigger/rcvr I use as well as the YN-460 manual flash. Here’s a test shot using it as a diffuser. I think it will be my [...]
few days after new year’s eve, I finally had time to process the sushi shots of that night.
I tried some “packshot” yesterday. wasn’t as easy as I expected and I’m really not happy with the end result. I tried glass, stainless steel and metal/dish (this shot). That white bed sheet background didn’t work at all even after boosting its brightness and lowering the contrast.

These are some pictures I made this year. The first picture is my first attempt at HDR (or mostly tone mapping in this case). It was taken on tripod during the golden hour. The hdr treatment wasn’t really needed, it’s purely aesthetic.
The 2nd picture is a drafty smallgantic shot of a famous square in brussels. [...]
This is a heavily photoshoped (according to my standards) portrait of my father. Although I like the end result I’ve gotten bored at the end of the editing session. So, excuse the lack of polishing.
Most of the editing consisted of “carving” my father’s face details using the Dodge & Burn tool (exposure control). The original [...]
a paused portait and my first real try at toying arround with the tonal curve
