Christmas

It’s that time of the year when my girlfriend puts a bunch of stacked green plastic snippets in the living room of our appartment. She likes to call it a christmas tree.

Nespresso cups

Shot on the kitchen table with the camera stopped down to get rid of the ambient light. Two strobes were used: a snooted SB-600 on the close left (30cm) at 1/64 CLS triggered. SB-26 on the far right (2 meters) at 1/32 optically triggered.

Sinterklaas

On December 6, it’s Sinterklaas in Belgium. During the night, the holy man brings chocolate and toys to all the good kids. This year, I was one of them as you can see in the picture :-) .

update: If you want to see a picture of a real chocolate Sinterklaas, you should check out Jürgen Doom’s weblog.

Greek vase

Greek vase

This authentic Greek vase (worth about 2 euro), was standing on a cabinet in the living room. The vase itself was lit by the pop-up flash, while the background was whitened by targeting my optical-triggered SB-26 on the wall behind. It was my first test-shot with th SB-26 I bought in the morning.
