Event - Uchronicité 2023

Afbeelding
It snowed on December 4th and that's rather special down here, but still we made it back & forth for a very short visit to Uchronicité , the Belgian steampunk gathering. Like before, it's an extremely friendly event where you take some time to chat with people. You can always read my remarks about the event in the reports from previous editions .  Since it was a very short visit, only a few pictures were made. ▷ All  photos can be found on/downloaded from my Flick r once processed & uploaded ▷ A microscopic video might go to Clapper & maybe to to Instagram . ▷ NEW : Buy Red Cathedral a whisky on Ko-Fi ▷ Updates on the post-processing progress will go to THE Facebook . ▷ A " How to download stills from Flickr " tutorial was posted here . . Sadly enough I did not taste any of that delicious mead.. driving through the snow will make you think twice. And for those who are strong in mathematics: we left at 17h and I finally got home at 20h30. ....

Have I ever told you the story about a shooting day during which I survived all day on 1 glass of white wine? Well, that day was yesterday.  Now, knowing myself, this could easily become a long & boring story so I'll stick to the famous 6-points synopsys: ▷ Drove from the South-East of Limburg to the Verbeke Foundation, a unique and quirky museum for modern art in East-Flanders and got there really early, ▷ Started shooting cosplayers in full Halloween mode near a derelict train-crane, ▷ Drank 1 glass of white wine, ▷ Shot even more Halloween cosplayers till 15minutes after the museum had closed, ▷ Suddenly realized I had completely forgotten to eat, drink, be polite & socialize.. again. ▷ The end? Probably not because you're here for some stills & video.. Let us start by explaining HOW to get to those images and then continue my exciting story. ▷ Updates on the post-processing progress will go to THE Facebook . ▷ 2 videos will go to Instagram , but 1st to Cla...
