Since this year I'm the house photographer for Visug.  There were already 2 events this year were I took some pictures.  You can find a part of the photo's on the Visug site.  If you want to see the full set, follow the links below.

Event 1 : 15 januari 2009 - Visug meets Juval Löwy Part 2

Event 2 : 19 februari 2009 - Visug Live Mesh

Lately I have bought me some new gadgets.

• 24" monitor : Samsung Syncmaster 245BPlus
  
• A SLR camera : Nikon D80
   
  These are the specs of this camera :
  

  Effective pixels		10.2 million
  Image sensor		RGB CCD, 23.6 x 15.8 mm, 10.75 million total pixels
  Image size		L (3,872 x 2,592) / M (2,896 x 1,944) / S (1,936 x 1,296)
  Sensitivity		100 to 1600 (ISO equivalent) in steps of 1/3 EV, plus HI-0.3, HI-0.7 and HI-1
  Storage media		SD memory card, SDHC compatible
  LCD monitor		2.5-in., 230,000-dot, low-temp. polysilicon TFT LCD with brightness adjustment
  Exposure metering		3D Color Matrix Metering II, Center-Weighted and Spot Metering
  Exposure modes		Digital Vari-Program (Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Macro Close up, Sports, Night Landscape, Night Portrait), Programmed Auto [P] with flexible program; Shutter-Priority Auto [S]; Aperture Priority Auto [A]; Manual [M]

  Power sources		Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL3e, MB-D80 battery pack (optional), AC Adapter EH-5 (optional)
  Dimensions (W x H x D)		Approx. 132 x 103 x 77mm (5.2 x 4.1 x 3.0 in.)
  Weight		Approx. 585g (1lb 5oz) without battery, memory card, or body cap or monitor cover

  
  Furthermore I have following lenses :
  

  • Nikkor AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70 / 3.5-4.5 G IF-ED
  • Nikkor AF Zoom 70-210 / 1:4
  • Tele lens with Macro function and seceral extra filter (it has no processor in it, so I have to use it manually)

  
  The last two are from my father and are from his analogue Nikon photocamera.  But after testing it seems that these still working on the D80 as this SLR has backwards compatibility for it's lenses.  This made me very happy.

On the 5th of July Jan Tielens is organizes a new photowalk.  This time the place to be is Hasselt.

More info can be found in the photowalk gorup Photowalk Belgium Flickr Group.  Choose the discussion Photowalk Hasselt: 5 juli 2008.  Leave a note if you go to this event or subscribe at the Upcoming event page.

One of my hobby's is photography.  Around two years ago I had bought me a Nikon Coolpix 8700. At this moment I have taken almost 4500 pictures with it.  So it was time to create a Flickr account.  So go there and take a look.  At this moment I have uploaded two sets of pictures, but I will upload a lot more.

If you have tips, I can always use them .

BTW : I'm planning to buy me at the end of the year a Nikon D80 camera .
