Photography with patience

 

Stephen Wilkes is a guy with some serious patience. He photographs the same spot for a minimum of ten hours! The goal is to capture the transformation of a selected area from day to night.

Magical star trails

I absolutely loooove these photographs. They where made by Flight Engineer at Expedition 31 from Nasa Don Pettit. Here's how he made them: “My star trail images are made by taking a time exposure of about 10 to 15 minutes. However, with modern digital cameras, 30 seconds is about the longest exposure possible, due to electronic detector noise effectively snowing out the image. To achieve the longer exposures I do what many amateur astronomers do. I take multiple 30-second exposures, then ‘stack’ them using imaging software, thus producing the longer exposure." Don't you want to go to space right now, this minute? I know I do!

Hi, I'm Sushi!

Meet the new little, fuzzy member of our family. Her name is Sushi and her favorite toys are ropes and her tale. She's laying on my lap as I write this post. I already love the little cutie pie!

First sunbeams + Birthday

Long time no post, I know. But I have an excuse. I was busy graduating. From now on, I will have a bit more time though.

So last week we had some summer time here in Belgium for the first time in... Well I guess since last year. And it was boyfriends birthday! We enjoyed the sun in the park with some strawberry tart, magazines, ice tea and each other of course. I loved it and I hope he did as well.

Here's my favorite photo of that day...

Yes, there was some Spiderman style kissing going on!

It's up to you, New York, New York

In November I went to New York with four girlfriends and I just can't discribe what an experience it was for us girls from the little country, Belgium. The first day we just stared the whole time. Here are some pictures I took...

In tiny Belgium we know lemonade but not in the way Americans drink it. Here it's very very sweet (too sweet if you ask me) and sparkling. I actually prefer lemonade in America.

Visit the Empire State Building at night! The view is so beautiful then.

In Belgium me and the others fours girls who were with me in New York all dance. So we decided to take some lessons in The Big Apple. And I can say: Totally new way of dancing for us, but really adictive.

Have some of you ever been to New York City? And what did you think of the city? I definitely want to go back some day! Maybe with the boyfriend next time...

Current Fisheye Love

I currently discovered the lomography fisheye cameras and boy oh boy that is not a good thing for my wallet. But a girl can dream, no?

I can only say: I want, I want, I want, I want!

New Year's Eve in London

I went to London for New Year's, with the boyfriend (and yes, I know, he like to make 'funny' faces before a camera). Here are some pola's from the trip.

My New Year's resolutions:

- Staying as hopelessly in love as I am right now

- Graduating as a journalist

- Becoming the best dancer as I possibly can be

- See more of the world

And since I'm rubbish in keeping to my resolutions every year, I'm not going to put up more. But the one's above I'm certainly going to keep!

Do you make New Year's resolutions?

In love with Paris!

First of all, sorry for neglecting the blog a bit, but being in the last years of my journalism studies took it's toll. But I promise to start posting again on a regular base. Really!

Sooooo, I went to Paris for the first time in my life. I know, I should be ashamed of myself as I'm living in Belgium, right beside France and only 3 hours away from Paris. But let's say that I was waiting for a right opportunity or something like that. And that not so defined opportunity came in the form of teh almighty boyfriend, of course! He went to Paris plenty of times and was a bit shocked when I told him I had never been there. And a few weeks later we where on a romantic weekend in Paris. I had the best time and can not wait to back, preferably in the spring or the summer. Or when it snows. Let's say that from now on every reason is a good reason to visit Paris.

And here's the most beautiful picture the boyfriend took...

Have you ever been in Paris?

If so, let me know what I really need to do or see when I'm going a next time...

Love

Ines
