This website is now officially out-dated!
I have moved to a new domain, this domain will remain online for roughly another year after which it will fully shut down.
There will be no more new posts on this domain, this is the last one.
A full explanation can be found in the first post on the new domain:
See you there.

Today I added a new lens to my photography gear.
I’ve been wanting to get into the macro part of photography for a long time now and with my new camera I was finally able to.
So, I’ve been researching some options and finally decided to buy an AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED.
I chose this lens because of it’s focal length which is somewhat longer than the cheaper 60mm versions which gives me some more space between me and my subject (insects like me better when viewed from a distance…).
Also I really like the fact that it does not extend when focussing the lens, which most other lenses do. A lens gaining a few inches in length is quite a shock for most insects and might scare them away too quickly.
Anyway, once home I immediately put the lens on my camera, threw on a flash and went outside to do some test shots.
I spotted some fun insects on which I spent several hours shooting, time flies when your having fun!
Here are the best photo’s I got. The first one was rather a lucky shot, basically the only good one I got from 20 minutes of trying to capture a flying hoverfly.
The others are the two sharpest shots I got, I included a 100% crop of one of them.

Last week I bought myself a new camera.
I’ve been wanting a DSLR camera for quite a while now and since I finished school and got a job last year I finally had the money to buy one.
The camera I bought is a Nikon D7000 which is a very new model.
Of course I’ve tried it out this weekend as the weather was great. Here’s a few photo’s I shot.

As you may have noticed already I’ve installed a new layout on the website.
I’ve had the idea of creating a new layout for a while now, I wanted a lighter and simpler layout.
Since I had some free time yesterday and didn’t really know what to do I decided to actually create a new layout.
I hope you all like it, feel free to comment on it.
I just finished uploading uploading the first few photos to Picasa, so you can now view them on the site.
The photoshop collection will follow later.
After a troublesome install on the new host I’ve finally got this site fully running.
This site is now fully powered by WordPress which makes it a lot easier for me to keep it up to date with newest photos and such.
I’ve also made a Picasa account on which I will upload the photos, this site will simply link to those.
If anyone wants to know, my Picasa username is Judobreaker.
As you all can see there are not many images or pages on the site yet and some things are still in the wrong settings, but that’ll be changed in the comming few days.
I am gong to upload a bunch of photos soon and add the necessary pages.
Also, I will install an improved RSS system which enables you to add pages to your RSS feed easier.
