Pure Passion in the Willibrod Church Utrecht

Saturday March 24th I attended the concert "Pure Passion" of the vocal group Cantatrix in the St. Willibrod Church in Utrecht. To hear Cantatrix sing is always a pleasure; this time it was even more special because of the location. I have lived in Utrecht for many years, but the Willibrod Church was new to me.

The St. Willibrord Church in Utrecht is one of the best preserved examples of the Utrecht School of the Gothic Revival. The church is almost invisible in the surrounding buildings, but who enters is immediately struck by the overwhelming impression of this mystical ornate church, built by architect Tepe and the St. Bernulphusgilde.

During the concert I shot a series of publicity photographs. This was quite challenging due to the low light conditions in the church.

Lightroom 4 is out

I use Lightroom to keep track of my 56.000 odd photos. It does an excellent job at that. Today Adobe released version 4.0 of their flagship photo management software. This is exciting news. Why? Check out the new Map module for starters!

Years of painstakingly adding GPS coordinates to my photos finally visually pays off. I love this mapping feature.

In case you are wondering about some of the dots. My GPS tracker works just fine when I am sitting in a plane heading for the USA.
