Since last week, I finally own a new and good cellphone: the Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250. I downloaded the PicsArt app (for free) and I have been playing with it for a while.

These are some of my first results. Hope you like them. Please do comment as I am still working on it and all feedback is welcome. Thanks. New pics will be added in the future, I promise.

So please, check it out, rate, comment and have a nice day!

FedCon 18

Hello everyone,

I have been posting about FedCon 18 (2009) on my old blog. As I don’t use that one anymore, or not that often any way, I wanted to make one big post here of all the smaller ones I did there. I will do my best to make these several story parts into one good big one. Hope I do it well and that you will like my post about FedCon 18, Bonn, Germany, 2009. Please do note that I don’t want to make too many changes compared to my original posts. I know it may seem a bit messy in the end. But it’s been too long for me to totally rewrite it all. And I want to “save” the old way I wrote it. Hope that makes any sense. Anyway, I hope you like this post. It was my first FedCon convention and I’ve been hooked ever since .

The sky is the limit

I love to take pictures of the sky. Sun, moon, clouds, colors… These are my own favorites, so far. I hope to be able to add many pictures, old and new ones, soon. Hope you like what I shot.

I will keep adding pictures to this set, of course. If you wish to keep informed, visit my set of Flickr and use the Feed to subscribe. Thanks. Feel free to comment (not spam) here or on Flickr, thanks!

Small review of the Fuji FinePix XP 30

As I promised a couple of weeks ago, here I am finally posting about my first experiences with the Fujifilm FinePix XP 30. As I might have mentioned in an earlier blog, I was looking for an affordable camera that would allow me to take pictures/shoot video under water. I first saw a very nice one from Nikon, but at the time, I could not afford that one. And then I saw this little buddy on the Fujifilm website. It was a nice looking camera, available in different cool colors and it would suffice my needs. I did some more searching on forums and all, because according to the Fujifilm website, the camera was not to be used in heated pools. And that is what I wanted to use it, amongst other places. But according to several users of this camera, it worked fine in pools. Just don’t use it in too hot environments and always clean it with clean water (soak it for about 5 minutes). But that was also in the users guide so well, OK, this would be the camera I was going to buy.

Please do understand that I am a simple camera user. I am not affiliated with anyone or anything and this review shows you my experiences and thoughts. I don’t claim any rights towards Fujifilm and it’s product. All information about the camera (specifications and all) came from their official website. All views, opinions and remarks about the usage of the camera are mine. I hope you will respect my review and all (polite) comments are welcome.

Some Burgers’ Zoo video’s

Hello again!

Yesterday I shared some of my favorite pictures with you that I had made during my visit to Burgers’ Zoo in Arnhem, the Netherlands. I have also uploaded some video’s to my YouTube channel and I will share them with you here as well. I shot the video’s with my Nikon CoolPix P500 camera. Since we were with a big group of friends, I couldn’t allow myself to wait long at the habitats to make the perfect shots. So this is what I made of it in the time I had.

Enjoy the video’s en don’t forget to check out the pictures if you’re interested. They are on Flickr!

Steiermark, Austria

In August 2010 we went to Hartberg, Steiermark, Austria. I have made two video’s of that vacation, one of everything (well almost everything) we did there during those 2 weeks. And one of our walk through the Bärenschützklamm near Mixnitz.

I wanted to share those video’s here with you. I published them on my YouTube channel. The music is owned by the Heilbrunner Musikanten, not by me! I only claim the rights to the used video and photo footage.

Some Burgers’ Zoo pics

What seems like a long, long time ago, July 2nd 2011, we went to the Burgers’ Zoo (Arnhem, the Netherlands) with some friends. I’ve been meaning to write a post about it, sharing some of my favorite pictures with information about the animals included. I tried to write it a couple of times, but due to many not-to-be-named reasons, I never got to finish it. So I am trying to do it another way now. While uploading pictures to my Flickr account from our mid-week trip to Center Parcs, I will finally post some of my favorite pictures. I will add Wikipedia links whenever I can find the right ones to accompany the picture. To see all the pictures, please visit my set on Flickr.

_{All these pictures are made with my Nikon CoolPix P500 camera.}

So sit back and enjoy some of the pictures. I enjoyed being able to make them

Testing the new Fujifilm FinePix XP30. I bought this not too expensive waterproof camera to take with me on vacation. We went to Center Parcs Bispinger Heide (Germany) for a midweek and I wanted to take pics while having fun in the water. Even though the camera was said not to be used in heated swimming pools, I read some reviews of it’s users on different sites. When many wrote about their swimming pool experiences, I decided to buy this camera and see how it would perform. This is one of the many pics I have taken.
Will write a (small?) review about the camera as soon as I can find the time (and don’t forget about it).
Thanks for checking out my blog. Hopefully I can post more soon… ☺

My new car! A Toyota Corolla Linea Terra, “born” on April 2nd 1999 ☺ Here I will post more pictures as I make some progress (with help of dear loved ones) to pimp El Sheepo.

My first car?

I have passed for my drivers license 11 years (and a few days) ago. Until now I have never had my own car. I have always driven in cars that were owned by others. When ever needed, I did pay my share of course, don’t get me wrong. I have been looking for a car for a while now. together with BF and GF. And tomorrow, I might be buying the car you see on the left… Exciting… Just wanted to drop a line and man, do I have a lot I still want to blog about. I need some time… A lot, haha! Well, I will keep you all posed!

Exciting…

Expensive…

Mine?
