Today I filmed in the grasslands between Vleuten and Haarzuilens with my Canon 550D-camera. It was nice weather with sun and clouds. This is actually the third or fourth time that I put some effort in filming and you can notice that in the experimental way it is done. Also I still need to find my tripod, because it is sometimes too shakey. But the image stabilizer of the Canon telelens does a good job to reduce the shaking.

Will hollywood do a re-make of the following movie called Alluda Majaka with the actor Chiranjeevi? Never heard about both the movie and the actor, but a movie with ingredients like a flying tractor must be hilarious.

This week I finally made some time to take photographs of the grasslands between Vleuten and Haarzuilens. I had luck with the weather and I was just in time because when I came home, they mowed all dandelions. This is my first walk here with my new camera and it all seems to work fine.

For years the movie 2001: A Space Oddysey was on my todo list, I watched it this evening. I’ve seen A Clockwork Orange – also from Kubrick - which was already vague, but this movie also has a sort of storyline which is really making it ‘complex’ actually. The focus is really on graphics and sound and some sort of story which is probably something for the viewer to think about.

What I dislike about modern day movies is that there is so much continuous action, overloaded with special effects, a lot of talking and not that much to think about. Then A Space Oddysey is a big contrast with that. Not bad to have seen it now finally.
