Went to Mechelen with “Tha Wezze” today to explore an old factory. Did a b/w postprocessing in attempt to create a certain atmosphere.

I have no clue in what Picasa is doing with my shots (really f*cks ‘em up), so I’m thinking about moving all my shizle to Flickr.

Enjoy!

I Love Elektro was magnificent!

Although the conditions to make my shots were kinda terrible. Because of the high humidity, my lens got all fuzzy for the whole night (it just wouldn’t adapt to the temperature!) so I wasn’t able to shoot any pictures until I wiped my lens with a (fresh) tissue. Although it was a fresh tissue, I still spotted some spots when I downloaded the pictures onto my Mac.
First thing I’ll do tomorrow is to get a good cleaning set at Foto Erdelo (Boortmeerbeek).

Anyway, pictures @ http://picasaweb.google.com/sem.govaert/ILoveElektro2008#

One of my assignments back at the KHM (Katholieke Hogeschool Mechelen) for my Interactive Marketing class, is to get my (really stupid) website of the poedelzalm as highly indexed as possible when you search for poedelzalm on Google.

And yes, you can help me! Just click on the following link!

Thanks a million.

The shots in part one were taken with my dSLR, now let’s see what the other (more ‘party-minded’) compact camera-shots look like…

Cheers!

Woop woop! New York was great! Took a 5-day trip with another sh*tface motherf*cker and stayed at the Milford Plaza on Times Square.

Also bought a new lens, a Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 (!), which gave me a whole lotta zoom for a great price!

I’ve nominated some lenses that would go with my future EOS 40D. However, since I’m an amateur, I don’t really know if these would make a good choice!?

My intention is to do event-, portrait-, sport- and street photography, with a main priority on event and portrait.

So, feel free to post comments and help me out!

  • Tamron 28-75mm F 2,8 XR DI Canon 67mm – €316,23
  • Sigma 28-70mm F 2.8 EX DG Canon – €316,23
  • Canon EF 24-85mm F3.5-4.5 USM 67mm BE – €330,46
  • Canon EF 75-300mm F 4.0-5.6 III USM ø 58 BE – €216,58

Thanx in advance!

It’s been a long time since I posted some new shiznit, so here it is:

(Since I was too busy to shoot pictures of my own, I let others (Hans T & Bart VM) shoot them. Thank you, guys!)

I’m currently checking all the internet-shops to get the lowest price on a new camera I’m about to buy (Canon EOS 40D). I’ll probably buy it on my trip to New York -October 2008- considering the low Dollar rates. Once it’s mine, I’ll start a whole new blog/portfolio, http://www.semgovaert.be :)

Howdy!

Last week JH De Jeppe did a little test to see what would happen if you take 32 lowlifes and put them in Alpe d’Huez (FR) for 8 days. Check the results @ http://picasaweb.google.com/sem.govaert/SkiCong2008 !

EDIT: If you have a Facebook account, there are other pictures available on http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=15311&id=661603748&l=c343d

If you don’t have a Facebook account, you can easily create one here.

Considering I have to study all that crap lying on my dinner table, it will take until the end of January before I will make another post. You can expect pictures of the Comedy Night around the 28th.

Happy 2008!

This elektro-ish track I made was produced with GarageBand (comes with every new Mac).

You can download/stream “Sem – Elektro on fayah” here
Enjoy!

156 crappy pictures I took at JH De Jeppe. My flash, which I’m not able to replace and takes 7(!) seconds to charge, made everybody I shot look like zombies and created a huge ugly shadow behind them.
For those reasons I decided not to spend more than 2 seconds trying to edit each picture (with Adobe Lightroom).

So, enjoy my disgrace to photography here.
