Check out the decibel meter in the upper left hand corner when the Mascletà gets going.

In Bruges (in HDR)
One of the things I promised myself is that I would photograph this trip to the best of my ability. I would strive to utilize not only my skills and knowledge, but also fully exploit my hardware. This included shooting some extended exposures like the ones I shot in Brussels which required me packing my sturdy Manfrotto tripod and lugging it around the city.
I also wanted to shoot some HDR, and while I should have shot those with a tripod, I ended up shooting them handheld. The results (I think) are very good.
Built in image stabilization is my friend.
Toy Cars (Not Really)
Having some fun with some pictures I took at Autoworld in Brussels. They just lend themselves to fake tilt-shift foolery.
Happy New Year
Here in Brussels, it’s 2009!
This was the scene outside our hotel window just a few minutes ago!
