Reorganization

I have divided my normal photo albums and the Photoshop Before/After albums. The new gallery for those Photoshop interested ones can be found on top of the page under Before/After Gallery. The other images from before are still to be found in the old Photo Gallery.
And… I have added one more album in the Before/After section. Please enjoy!

Long time no see!

First of all, sorry for the delays. There has been no news in a long time.Being busy with other things makes your priorities change. I will try to improve.

I'll start off mentioning that the software that runs my photo gallery has been updated. For me that means easier maintenance and uploading of new photos. Great. Good start you think right…

Next thing is that I visited Foto Klein Professional in Rotterdam last week which I found to be a great store. Great service minded staff and good products in stock. Not  too often found in this country. They happened to stock some second hand gear like analog bodies, lenses, strobes and accessories as well as their new stuff. Since I already have a great digital camera body, the Canon 20D, I thought it would be nice to check out the old classic 35mm film cameras. I bought a Canon 500N analog body and some Ilford black & white film. I can use the lenses I already have on this camera, so why not?!

What they had as well was an older Nikon flash unit, the SB-25 , which I have been reading a lot about on Strobist.  It is very powerful and has full manual controls and can be synched via my camera's sync terminal. The nice thing with this is that I now can use my other flash unit, the canon 420EX together with this new one and shoot them simultaneously! That means you open up loads of new possibilities for flash photography instead of buying really expensive gear like studio strobes and lights. Costing only 50 euros I thought this was a steal. Basically I ended up with some really good gear and I hope I can show you all some nice results soon. 

For now, please bare with me. Some new photos will come soon!
