This summer….
Well, what is there to say about this summer? Feels like we have April lasting the whole summer… Below are two short Time-Lapse videos showing some impressions captured this summer.
A Royal Wedding
My parents came over from Luxembourg last weekend for a short visit in London. Perfectly timed for a certain wedding which happened at the same time. Below are some impressions taken around Friday the 29th April 2011.
500 Days
We are now less then 500 days away from the Olympic Games in London. BT marked the occasion with fireworks and an impressive light show around the BT Tower. Below are some impressions. First, here is a quick Video of some of my pictures and video clips, created using Animoto: And here is my Flickr [...]

HDR photography
Last friday evening I had the pleasure of joining Trey Ratcliff, together with at least 50 other people, on his Photowalk at the Southbank in London. Although I couldn’t stay for the whole time due to other plans, it was a really enjoyable experience. Thanks Trey! I also took it as an opportunity to finally [...]
Taking the GigaPan to Luxembourg
I recently went back home to Luxembourg and decided to actually take the GigPan Epic with me on the trip. I didn’t have a lot of time to take pictures, and the weather was also not helping, but I managed to create a couple of panoramas in Luxembourg City. One of them is embedded below. [...]

While at a technical level the DroidX is certainly very well done, it seems to target a very small group of people. The first iPhone4 ad clearly tries to target [...]
