Cape white nose

We've spent a wonderful day at the côte d'opale with a couple of friends yesterday. Going from Cap Gris Nez via the beaches to Cap Blanc Nez. This panorama is a crop of a stitch of 22 pictures. The whole pano in Tif format is a whopping 700 Mb... yes, I was slightly shocked indeed. :-)

Breakfast in Brussels

Yesterday, we went for late breakfast to Pain Quotidien in the Sablon area of brussels.
Lovely lait russe and delightful tiramisu au macarons were the victims of our spree.
I snapped this one while waiting for them to arrive.

And now for a word from our sponsor...

Same terrace... shot "from the hip" so yes, I know the foot of the glass isn't in it but nah I don't care. :-)
Oh, and by the way, I really am open to sponsorship if anybody at Moortgat happens to see this :-)

Spring has most deffintely sprung!

Brilliant weather yesterday so me and the mrs went for a nice walk in the centre. Much enjoyment was had sitting on the terraces (this pic is at "de walvis"), have drinks, eating ice cream, the lot! All in all a very good first day of spring!!

Adventures in DOF

Since I have the nikkor 50mm f/1.4G AF-S, I had to experiment around a bit. This is one of the test shots I did just to get a bit of a feel for the DOF achievable with this brilliant lens. I must say I'm thoroughly impressed. I used to have the 50mm f/1.8 but this one dominates!

And with that he's back in business!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Joost has re-entered the building sporting a brilliantly shiny new D90 and lens.
Once all the little problems with the camera have been worked out I'll be even more happy :-)
But I have been out and about with it and this would be the first of many pictures to be posted here :-) Enjoy!

Old and new

I have posted a picture of this location before as well, but definitely not like this version.
This is a stitch of 25 separate pictures. I'm quite happy about how it turned out!
