The world trough the eyes of Steven vd Staak

Hello people, It’s been a while since I posted but let me give you a small update on all the changes.

First off, bye bye Canon EOS 5D. I sold it yesterday in quite a hectic weird day, and well I’ll miss that camera.
But a Steven without a camera? Not possible.
I’ve bought 2 new camera’s that replaced my 5D and 350D (which I sold a while ago). Anyway here some pictures and updates.

Here’s the first beauty of a camera. It’s the 5DMKII with the 100-400mm L IS USM lens.
I’ve already told you I bought the 5DMKII, but now with the zoom lens too.

I bought this lens, again, since I wanted a good tele-zoom with the optical image stabilizer. Why? In moviemode stabilizer is a must-have…. not a gadget. My rating of the 5DMKII? 5/5, no brainer.

Here’s the beast. It’s really an awesome camera and I bought it from a really cool photographer who seemed very experienced. Shooting easily over 10 year his enthausiasm was the same as when I got my first 300D some years back.
It’s fast and robust, the perfect field camera for me whereas the 5DMKII will be my studio cam.

Let’s get down to business, some new shots.

I liked the coldness of this picture..

Quite cold a well but it’s more the perspective acting weird, taken in Amsterdam.

I’m more and more working with lights, colours and backgrounds. Here I used my second computerscreen as background. I like the limegreen combination with shiney red metal a lot.

VW Beetje, just love it’s abstract shape.

Attempt at a product studio shot.

Portrait picture of Willem who visited me to learn about the 5DMKII.

Spider with a nice macro setup… click on it for the original photo.

Another studio setup test.

Once again click on the image for a better resolution image. Was too lazy to rescale it and wordpress makes posts a bit narrow. I’ll look into installing a wider template soon, promised!

And let’s finish this post with some skateboarding. It was a picture out of a serie of about 11 pictures… It’s nice to be working with these fella’s!

Take care and for questions/remarks please leave a comment!

-Steven.
