# About me

I'm a self taught photographer, living in Belgium.
What started with a small digital camera evolved in a hobby and more.
I prefer to take pictures at concerts or go outdoors, capture the beauty of nature, or abandoned buildings.
Besides what you see here I'm interested in people, portrait, fashion photography.

No problem!. You have a GOOD gallery.

 

V.I.T.R.I.O.L to me is one of the best extreme metal vocalists (TOP 3): very versatile; he makes insane/inhuman screams like no others, different kinds of growls, and even clean vocals: for sure, a great vocal performer. Also his live performances are great.

Yea true!
But still need to capture him with Benediction. Maybe in future I will!

Hey,

I'm interested in shooting people, I'm looking for inspiration for emotive photography and you have some great photo's.
So I added you since you have some pictures that really inspired me and I want to see what you upload in the future.

Thank you, for now I just did concert photography but I like to expand it. I like heavy music!

What's your favourite band?

DeadEnslaver In reply to BenThijs [2013-10-14 14:55:03 +0000 UTC]

ohh your words are really pleasant. I am always so happy when people find my art even a bit inspiring!


I like heavy music too, a lot of different genres, though, my number-one is always Placebo (not so heavy haha but I adore them)

I also like metalcore, hardcore, gothic metal, some doom, industrial.

here's my profile, if you use lastfm www.lastfm.ru/user/DEAD_ENSLAV…

I have added you to my friends on last.fm. I don't use it much but when I got time I'll check some of your music. Since I kind of listen to a whole other genre of metal, my main metal genre is Death Metal

I have heard about Placebo but its not really for my taste.
And my favourite band is Zonaria.

thank you, I'm still learning every time.

But I was interested in your macro work. That is something that I maybe want to start myself but I have no clue what lens to use...

Maybe you can help me?

phantasydreamer In reply to BenThijs [2013-05-22 15:13:42 +0000 UTC]

I just use a pretty small Lumix Camery from Panasonic and then there is a program where I can apply macro zoom, but I bet there are cameras or single lenses you can buy that work much better^^

BenThijs In reply to phantasydreamer [2013-05-22 17:05:06 +0000 UTC]

Ah sweet that you already make such beautiful pictures with a small camera, what if you bought a better camera!

Might buy me a macro lens but first a guitar

phantasydreamer In reply to BenThijs [2013-05-22 17:55:20 +0000 UTC]

that´s really nice of you thanks for the compliment :3 but when you edit the photos with a program it´s not that hard anymore to make them look nice^^ Buying a guitar sounds like fun that´s really cool!

BenThijs In reply to phantasydreamer [2013-05-22 18:43:15 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for watching me and no problem, you ever considered to get a better camera? Your images will be even better.

Yea its fun to buy a guitar but it's even more fun to play it.

Hey are you going to Extremefest in Germany tomorrow? Or you're maybe not in to the music genre?
I'm going! Looking forward to it.

phantasydreamer In reply to BenThijs [2013-05-22 18:53:17 +0000 UTC]

maybe someday in the future I´m going to get a better camera^^

I haven´t heard about the Extremefest, but I watched some pictures
of it a few minutes ago, it looks interesting but you´re right I am
not really into that music genre.

I hope that you will have much fun when you go there tomorrow
I will have to attend university classes.

and you´re very welcome for the watch

BenThijs In reply to phantasydreamer [2013-05-22 19:06:43 +0000 UTC]

Ah thats ok, not everybody like metal I don't have a problem with that

Well fun is not a problem, the wheater is... hope it's not rainig the whole time... otherwise it will be a wet vacation :S

So you are smart! What are you learning for?

phantasydreamer In reply to BenThijs [2013-05-22 19:16:35 +0000 UTC]

yeah...the weather here is pretty strange at the moment, you never now what you get^^

I´m studying international forest ecosystem management in the second semester
and it´s a lot of fun. I also hope that it won´t rain tomorrow because
I have to be outside, too.
(and I´m not quite sure whether I´m smart...attending the university isn´t much of a qualification to proove that
because nearly everyone can go there^^)

BenThijs In reply to phantasydreamer [2013-05-22 20:04:47 +0000 UTC]

I see y you have images of plants

I never went to university, I hate to learn something that doesn't interest me :S, so as soon as I could I started working.

But the fact that you enjoy what you're learning, makes it smart cause you find the right thing to do with passion.

Hey like a said I will go the extremefest tomorrow, but if you feel like talking more, just let me know I enjoy meeting new people.

I'll be back Sunday I think
Cheers
Ben

phantasydreamer In reply to BenThijs [2013-05-23 19:01:46 +0000 UTC]

Talking more sounds great, I also like to meet new people

You have to tell me how you liked the extremefest afterwards^^

I will be in Poland for the next week because we go on excursion
with our university class and therefore I will have to get up around
3.50 in the morning on saturday.

I am very glad that I found a study program that suits me well, but it´s
nearly impossible to dislike that program because you do many practical things outside,
the people in my class are pretty nice, the professors are funny, we aren´t that many students
so that we can keep a rather familiar atmosphere and you can also practice languages for free.
There are just so many positive things about it^^

so what kind of job are you doing?
Have a great week then
bye for now,
Sarah

Ah great!

Well extremefest was awesome but we had some small problems.

The overall festival is great I was amazed how the festival can have big names on stage and still have like a really small crowd. I thought there would be more people there but that wasn't the case, so you pretty much felt right at home. The overall weather was great to. I'm burned by the sun and we only had rain at last 3 bands of the festival. But oooh the nights were cold... really cold... Unfortunately some guy we know that was on the festival kind of ruined our last day, he was a pain in the ass, and a friend of my literately kicked him out of the tent. Then that guy eve provoked more, my other friend got into a fight with him, they landed in barber wire and the two had to go to the hospital. At the hospital the guy ran away, and my friend was stuck there, cause cops wanted to know the whole story. After a while we could go and get him. But next morning my friends car wouldn't start... the car melted through a cable or something and we had to tow the car home. That went good for an 100km and the a cop pulled us off the road in the Netherlands. We had to call someone to come and get us. lucky it was only 1 hour drive.

Oh nice an excursion always fun!
Better then sitting behind a desk all day.
It's good to have a small class. Way more fun!
Are there allot of students from different countries?

I'm a Carpenter (I think its called)
And I do that at a kitchen factory, I'm responsible for all the precision works of a kitchen.
So actually everything of a kitchen except for closet and the doors.
Don't really know how to describe it English. So I hope you understand what I mean.

You probably read this in a week so I hope you had fun on your excursion!

Hey
Actually I had the Chance to read your message even before because we have Internet access here and I didn't Know that before.
The Story with the guy that ruined your Last Day is just too Bad I feel sorry for that And then the Problem with the car, that's just too Bad
Generally at my university, there Aren't that many students from other countries at least Not in my study class, but in other study classes such as global change Management therer are a bunch of students coming from abroad because then this study program will be taught in english completely wheras my own study program won't.
Until now the excursion is fun and I also made some photos by now. I hope that I will have time to edit And upload them, soon.

I will probably just Google the translation for carpenter as I am
Not quite sure what this means in german^^
I hope you also have some nice days from now on And feel free to write, I will be glad to hear from you

Internet access should be everywhere on the world and for free!
I Demand it! haha

We are talking about going back next year so with all the trouble we had we still enjoyed it.

Ah great that your excursion is a succes. Looking forward to see what you have captured!

Well the important thing is that you know that I work with wood there's not much more to say about it.

Thank you but after a rough weekend like that I think the week will go smoothly. I wish you the same and hope you'll capture interesting stuff with your camera.
You'll hear from me, I like chatting with you. If you're on Facebook, feel free to add me [link]
