Photography wise, nothing much happened last week. I went with a colleague to the start of De Brabantse Pijl, a cycling race. Since I am a complete novice in the professional cycling world, I couldn’t recognize any of the players. So I just took some pictures of the people there.
Saturday I went to the in-laws avant-le-mariage. They’re working on a new project and needed a couple of portraits. Since this session took place in their basement under tungsten lighting, I wasn’t very optimistic at first. But a large scroll of white paper provided a great (even) background and a massive amount of lights allowed me to use fairly small apertures. A slower shutter speed made it possible to get even light (tungsten light works with pulses, so the shutter speed must be long enough for such a cycle to complete) and adjusting the white balance turned out to be easy as well. I’m sure they will appreciate the results!
In the evening, I went to the NonStop party. It’s organized by Chiro Overpelt-Centrum, of which I used to be an active member for as long as I can remember. Seeing so many of my friends again was absolutely fabulous. Sunday morning I spent at my parents’ place and in the afternoon I headed to Kessel-Lo. There we got together with Karolien’s sister, her brother-in-law and their daughter.
