Bramz’ warehouse

The night after Best of the West (see previous post), two members of QuiOui performed at Vijverpop as the Waxdolls. They are called the electropunk revelation of Bruges or Ghent (depends on who’s reporting it =), and they definitely have a bright future ahead.

Vijverpop is a festival organised by a school in Bruges. Though [...]

It’s been exactly two months ago that I’ve followed QuiOui for a second time to a concert. But somehow, I’ve only now managed to get all pictures online … Place to be was JC Ten Goudberge in Wevelgem. The concert bill featured all medallists of Westtalent 2007: Low Vertical, QuiOui and Steak [...]

I’ve known Morda pretty much since the early days. Vague memories of some gigs in the Frontline, at the old location opposite to the Vooruit. Innerface, of the split album with Trust, still is one of my favourite tracks, on par with much of the Azerion album (which is just awesome, btw). [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve posted any update my photo gallery (ignoring the band shots of Waxdolls and Kudos). The Red Rock Rally pictures, take about a month ago, are finally uploaded now. My friends from Kudos participated in the contest and went home with the audience award. I feel a [...]

By popular demand, here are two band shots I’ve taken. I not usually do band shots like this (in fact, these are the only two), as I’m more comfy with natural/candid shots.
The first one is of the electro punk duo Waxdolls. It was taken at Cultuurkapel De Schaduw, after the Quioui gig.

The second [...]

Since my first concert shoot, I’ve spent a little cash on a new lens: the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM with fashionable lens hood. Eager to test my new toy, I followed QuiOui to their next gig. We ended up in a small but magnificient venue in the middle of nowhere, Cultuurkapel De Schaduw in [...]

It’s been a year since I’ve bought my digital SLR camera, and I’ve decided to try some concert photography. For my first concert shoot, I was lucky enough to accompany After All to Ieper. The local band In Chains was promoting their new album Demolition Business, and After All was headliner of the [...]

I have finally created an account on deviantART. Unfortunately, the username bramz was already taken by another Belgian Bram, though he’s not using it. Nevertheless, I had to choose another one and the outcome is bramzistor (short for bramzistor radio =). I hope using it for displaying some of my better (read: less [...]

When viewing my gallery from another PC, I noticed that the images showed a bit too dark, especially the black and white ones. This was of course due to a badly calibrated monitor. I started looking for some resources on monitor calibration, and this is what I came up with:
black point
The black point [...]

My first experiment in HDR (High Dynamic Range) photo editing. I’m a bit reluctant to use the term HDR, because technically, none of the images were ever stored in a HDR file format. Unless you count Canon’s RAW CS2 format as HDR, which I don’t. Not really anyway. I also do [...]
