A while ago, Simon Pollock asked me to write a review of the Think Tank Photo Shape Shifter backpack for Digital Photography School.
I love the products of Think Tank Photo and was really curious about the design of this particular backpack. So suffice to say I was really looking forward to it.
It took a while for the bag to arrive (damn you, Dutch customs), but it was certainly worth the wait. What a great bag.
You can read the review over here. If you’ve got any questions about the bag, feel free to contact me. I’ll be monitoring the comments over at DPS too.

Happy new year guys! I hope all of your wishes and dreams may come true in this year.
I got out of bed early yesterday, to participate in @scotbaston’s New Year Sunrise Challenge. About 35 photographers from all over the globe got up early to photograph the rising sun. I really hate getting up early, so it was quite an accomplishment for me. Especially after barely four and a half hours of sleep.
The panorama (5x21mp photos, so the original file is really huge) above was one of the resulting shots. You can see my other image on Flickr. Check out the photos by other photographers over here.
Anyway, I’m kind of proud to announce my new portfolio website! I’ve been designing this for a while now, and I thought it would be a good idea to release it on January the 1st. I know it’s January the 2nd right now, but it was actually released yesterday evening. So some people might have seen it already. It isn’t completely finished yet (I’ll be adding a ‘series’ page in a while), and the photos will be continuously updated, but most of it is pretty final.
If you’ve got any feedback on anything, I would appreciate it if you would let me know. Preferably by using the contact form, by DM on Twitter or by MSN.
Cheers!

In my short life, I’ve seen thousands of truly horrific photos. Lots of deaths, wounds, tears and blood. I’ve seen countless of suffering people and bodies ripped apart by explosives.
I don’t get shocked easily any more when watching photos or video footage of these horrors. Don’t think that I don’t care about these people, on the contrary, but most of the images just don’t send those cold shivers down my spine any more. Well, those shivers came back last night, after seeing one of the most shocking photo essays ever. (more…)

Howdyho people. It’s been a while since my last post. I’ve been learning my ass of for several exams, of which I completed the last one yesterday. It was tough but I think I successfully completed them. Anyway, here’s a post about photos on the iPhone.
When I first got my iPhone 3G, about a year ago, I wasn’t really impressed by the build-in camera. Well, I’m still not impressed by the camera (mainly due to the lack of autofocus and some sort of exposure compensation), but there are several apps that make photography with the iPhone a lot of fun.
I mainly used  CameraBag. It had some great presets but was pretty slow and gave very little control on the outcome. Also, I needed several apps to do what I wanted: take a picture, edit it -sometimes in more than one app- and post it on the internet.
I wasn’t the only one who got frustrated by this so photographer Chase Jarvis created the Best Camera app that could do everything; take a photo, edit it and publish it. I’ve been using Chase’s app since it was released a couple of weeks ago, and I love it. If you’ve got an iPhone and haven’t tried it yet, go buy it now, it’s worth the price.
Especially the ‘share’ option is great; with just a few clicks (or rather ‘strokes’) the app uploads your picture to the bestc.am website (check out my bestc.am profile over here), email, Twitter and Facebook.
Oh, and by the way, it’s possible to stack the same effect. So if you want more contrast, just press the ‘contrast’ button a couple of times.
