Collab - Verbeke Cosplay Day (2026)

Afbeelding
Allow me to sum up a few ingredients that make several ( outdoors ) costume events very enjoyable: No rain + casual strolls through a gorgeous location + drinks with nice people + casually making a photo of a splendid or funny or catchy constume + decent food + things to do/see + musical (re)discoveries + some more wine, whisky, or mead. The annual cosplay day at the Verbeke Foundation , one of the strangest ( yet fascinating ) musea in Belgium, had yet again many of those ingredients in its recipe. So thank you Geert for putting this together.  ▶️   All photos can always be found on/downloaded from my Flickr and here in this Album ! ▶️ A " How to download stills from Flickr " tutorial was posted here .  ▶️ Prices & possibilities for booking Red Cathedral ▶️ Some highlights might go to Instagram , Threads or Bluesky . ▶️ A video might go to Clapper & to Tiktok ▶️ Buy Red Cathedral a whisky on Ko-Fi ▶️ Updates are on THE Facebook ....

Event - Manga & Cosplay festival 2022

Afbeelding
Let's start with the links first and then some random thoughts? There will be several sample images added to this post as the processing advances. Once finished ALL the pictures can be found here on Flickr . For updates of the progress & next events you can check the Facebook page . Some videoreels will follow on Clapper and on Instagram . It was during a warm November month in the Osaka -region that I finally started appreciating Autumn and the warmth of it's colours .  This year the extreme drought is giving September the first hint of those same colours. A perfect opportunity to visit the famous Japanese garden of Hasselt and reminisce about those days in Nara with the deer strolling through the parks and streets.. except in Hasselt it weren't deer posing for the cameras but cosplayers.  Yes; this was my weekend number 5 in a row with a costume event. The last one of this series because next weekend the events for work start again ( The Sanicole Airshow is t...

Collab - The Page 1 Project

Afbeelding
Elke week tussen Samhain 2025 en Ostara 2026 werd er van minstens één boek de eerste pagina voorgelezen door een baardige fotograaf en de video daarvan werd op Tiktok ( en soms ook op Instagram ) gepost. Dit was een oefening om me te leren om mijn eigen stem terug te aanvaarden na een halve eeuw van trauma.  Nee, het trauma is uiteraard niet overwonnen, maar het heeft nu zijn plaats gekregen in de grote rugzak en dat is minstens even belangrijk.         Dit waren de 27 gekozen boeken: ▶️01. Anne Rice - De mummie (30/10/2025) ▶️02. Naomi Novik - Temeraire (Deel 1) (05/11/2025) ▶️03. Bernie Sanders - Het is oké om kwaad te zijn op het kapitalisme (10/11/2025) ▶️04. Garth Nix - Het Oude Koninkrijk 2 : Lyrael  / ook op Instagram  (14/11/2025) ▶️05. George Orwell - 1984 (19/11/2025) ▶️06. Kaye Dee - Drags & Drama #1 : Liefde heelt  / Ook op Instagram (26/11/2025) ▶️07. Guillermo del Toro & Chuck Hogan - De meester 2 - De val (03/12/...

Have you checked my FB-page or Flickr recently? It has been a while since the last upload of images & more importantly: since the last event/shoot.

More new pictures will surely be made during Rise of the Trolls & Fantasy Fest . Looking forward to doing loads of events, trips & shoots in 2020! Namaste

Elsword: the Cornwell Knight

Afbeelding
Latest update introduces new class for Elsword and begins the Christmas and New Year events In celebration of the second anniversary of Elsword in Europe, Gameforge is releasing a new class for the game's namesake character. Further classes for the remaining heroes will also be released in the coming months. Additionally, the Christmas events, complete with attractive rewards for all players, start with immediate effect. The Cornwell Knight – two raised swords in hallelujah During his adventures, Elsword comes into possession of a magical item that gives him new strength. With this 'Cornwell', he is able to materialise a sword that does him great service in the battles against the overwhelming hordes of monsters. From level 15, Elsword has two swords at his disposal with the Cornwell Knight class. Powerful new skills help him to defend against monsters as well as human opponents. Sword Fall causes swords to rain down from the sky and deal a hefty blow to enemies. The...

Collab - Animating the Imperial Guard (The AI dilemma)

Afbeelding
Last Thursday the tiny dirt road I needed to take was blocked by a concrete barricade. I cursed ( several times ) and then I thought: " That's actually a cool barricade for a Warhammer 40k shoot. " So I got out of the car, took a picture and had an even worse idea. It took 2 old urbex pictures from back in 2016 and the new concrete slab cellphone photo plus some Photoshop compositing magic to let Firefly AI finalize this composition into the kind of Space Hulk tunnel I wanted. Then I combined 2 stills from @Kyden_cosplay 's props + Cadian commissar cosplay ( made during @GeekVillagebelgium + @GeeksandFreaksnl ) and noticed I had not photographed his legs, so I added the lower part from a macrophoto of a commissar-miniature I had shot during Trolls-et-Légendes ( Sorry, don't know who painted it ). The magic of Photoshop, Luminar Neo and Firefly got me the character and heroic pose I wanted. Then I had Photoshop combine, relight & harmonize both comp...

Event - Geeks & Freaks (2026)

Afbeelding
Okay-okay . It might be a last minute announcement, but #theRed360 will be present at Geeks & Freaks II in Maastricht (31st of January + 1st of Februay) And YES, a spin on #theRED360 of Deep Red Noise vzw will be FREE/GRATIS/GRATUIT  thanks to the fair organizers. So come visit our tiny corner of the MECC in Maastricht, and if the booth has enough room, I - Red Cathedral - might even make some cosplay portraits again. If you can & want to donate 1€ for your 360°-spin, that money will be used to help local stray cats. Last edition's donations helped with food, a castration, treating a hurt paw and finding a kitten a safe home.. and bonus: one stray entered my bedroom on a tuesday and simply decided to become a house cat. The following day was a Wednesday so I named him:  W..W.. Whisky ! ( Nobody should name a cat after an Addams-family member.. ) Since this is a placeholder for the event, give me a few days after the event to gather my thoughts about this edit...

Event - Fantasyfest Rijswijk (2026)

Afbeelding
Let me be clear about something: Fantasy Fest is a fantasy themed indoor market featuring some amazing concerts. And the concerts were exactely the reason for travelling on a Saturday to Rijswijk:  Kelten Zonder Grenzen at the opening and Ye Banished Privateers after closing. Just perfect! Obviously there was time in between for a grand tour to visit the neverending rows of stalls ( saying hi to vendors & artists! ), for some mead & for a break to play a TTRPG-demo at Dutch20 . Roleplaying as cats was a nice experience thanks to the DM. Photographing cosplayers? Nah , only a handful. Once you've been there, you know about the lighting situation in De Broodfabriek, eventhough the lights on the stalls are a pretty sight, the rest is Deep Darkness . But that's a good thing: no long weeks of editing during every spare moment!  ▷ All photos can always be found on/downloaded from my Flickr and here in this Album ! ▷ A " How to download stills from Flickr ...

Cleopatra's tomb

Afbeelding
Cleopatra and Mark Antony were immortalised as two of history's greatest lovers, but their final resting place has always been a mystery. Now archaeologists in Egypt are about to start excavating a site that they believe could conceal their tombs. Zahi Hawass, director of Egypt's Superior Council for Antiquities, said yesterday that there was evidence to suggest that Cleopatra and Mark Antony were buried together in the complex tunnel system underlying the Tabusiris Magna temple, 17 miles from the city of Alexandria. The dig, which begins next week, could reveal answers to the many myths surrounding the pair -- including speculation about the Queen's reputed beauty and the couple's suicide. Teams from Egypt and the Dominican Republic will begin excavating three sites along the tunnels in the hope that one of the deep shafts will lead to a burial chamber. The sites were identified by a radar scan. Kathleen Martínez, an Egyptologist from the Dominican Republic who is work...

THEY (fps)

Afbeelding
THEY - Q&A April 2008 Question - THEY claims to be a “mystery first-person shooter” for PC, Xbox 360 & PlayStation 3. How do you create this feeling and what sort of techniques are used to provoke this sense of mystery? The story-telling in THEY doesn’t influence the fast paced action of a FPS game – it has dynamic battles, a living environment and those bad creatures you have to kill. But the story has some issues common with plots of mystery movies! After some analyses we figured out that one key element, which transports mystery is the so-called dualism and this is what we will show in THEY. On the one hand you have a real environment, which everybody knows (London) – on the other hand some mysterious phantoms and you don’t know what they are. Another way is to build up characters’ credibility during the storyline, you feel positive with them, you trust them – and suddenly something happens, which topples your big picture! This is what the essence of mystery is and it’ll tak...
