If you visited the GMM you may have noticed it already, we are an association with many ambitions! We are lucky to have so many active members to keep our committees and association up and running! This evening will be organized to get to know more about committees of DM in a fun way. We have prepared a short and very fun pub quiz to learn a bit more about what all the Dekate Mousa committees do and just in general about DM. After it, we will have a drink together in the living room, both to maybe join some of the committees and just to get to know each other a bit better! We will provide some drinks and snacks 😉

In tonight’s activity we will be working as photographers and as models! It’s the perfect chance to learn how to communicate to your subjects what works and what doesn’t, learn how to be more comfortable in front of a camera and of course to get some good instagram pictures taken. We will have a few locations on campus, including a portable studio with professional lightning, so come take advantage of this opportunity! For experienced photgrapher this is a really nice chance to express some creative ideas you still wanted to try and for beginners this is also a very good chance to learn more about working with a studio set-up.

OCW Photo editing in Lightroom (open to non-members)
2022-09-15 20:00 - 22:00
We hope a lot of great pictures will be taken during the OCW activities, but to make them even greater, today we are going to teach and learn the basics of photo editing. This evening a workshop in Lightroom will be given by Levi Baruch. Lightroom is a program that lets you edit your photos. You will learn the basics (filtering, the meaning of sliders, contrast, exporting, shooting raw) and the thinking process of editing overall. It can be interesting for intermediate levels as well! This activity will help you understand the fundamental things of editing photos and gives you the chance to create your own style of editing, which can make your photos even more unique, creative and beautiful!

OCW Street photography (open to non-members)
2022-09-14 19:00 - 21:00 | 18 Septemberplein
This activity is all about street photography! Although the name is somewhat misleading in a way, because we’re not going to take pictures of the pavement but of things on the street.
Street photography is easy to pick up, yet sometimes hard to execute. However, very interesting for beginning photographers and the masters of the craft.
If you are somewhat shy to talk to strangers, this is the workshop for you!
In this workshop Alesander Aydin will go through all the do’s and don’ts and tips and tricks before going through the streets of Eindhoven centrum to take our own pictures. We will split up in small groups so that everyone can perform this exercise (with at least every group one camera. If you have your own camera bring it with you! Smartphones are not really suitable for this activity, but it is possible). The focus lays on: getting over the fear of using a camera on the street and communicating with strangers, using your camera quickly, being creative, some camera settings, and lots of “just do it”!

OCW Steelwool spinning (open to non-members)
2022-09-13 20:00 - 22:00 | In Front of Luna, De Lampendriessen 31, Eindhoven, 5612AH, Netherlands
The Tuesday of the OCW will be in theme of a fan favourite: steel wool spinning! By lighting a wad of steel wool on fire we will make sparks fly like stars through the sky. Then by taking long exposures, we can create beautiful creative shots like the one above. Don’t be afraid if you are not familiar with long exposure shots! This activity is perfect to learn how to work with long exposure. Lastly, we also might have an extra surprise for you which will be breath taking! 😉

OCW Photohunt (open to non-members)
2022-09-12 20:00 - 22:00 | In Front of Luna, De Lampendriessen 31, Eindhoven, 5612AH, Netherlands

We will kick off the OCW with a Photohunt! The photo hunt will be helt on the campus of our university! No better way to learn new things considering photography then by carrying out some challenges, where creativity and collaboration are key! Do you think you can make the best pictures and capture the funniest moments? Or at least you want to try it? Then join us on Monday, where we will gather in front of the Luna building. If you have your own camera, please bring it! In case not, no worries; we will be photographing in groups, so one camera per group will be enough.

Back from holiday reunion (members only)
2022-09-06 20:00 - 22:00 | Hubble Community Café, De Lampendriessen 31-05, Eindhoven, 5612 AH
As the new academic year starts and we finally are able to get back to our study life, let’s look back on what we did during the past eight weeks of vacation! You get a chance to tell everyone about your trips, the pictures you took, as well as to listen to what everyone else has done. There will be opportunity for feedback on your pictures and of course we will also enjoy some drinks as we will spend the evening in Hubble!

Schatje in Turkije
2022-06-28 20:00 - 22:00 | DM Studio (Luna -1.398), De Lampendriessen 31, Eindhoven, 5612AH, Netherlands
The summer holiday is coming and to already get some summer vibes, this month the ‘Schatje in Turkije’ activity (means babe in Turkey) will take place. During the activity we will practice on how to make the best holiday pictures with a little cringe twist to it. The activity will take place in the studio where we will make photos with a greenscreen, so you can edit them so they can turn out as beautiful as in the examples. If you don’t have experience with photoshop this is also the perfect opportunity to learn a little more on how to use this program. Next to the ‘Schatje in Turkije’ photos you can of course use the greenscreen, some summer props and your creativity to create really cool and funny summer related pictures. Next to making pictures this activity is also meant just to socialize and have a nice drink. Hopefully we will see you on the 21st!

Sunset Photography
2022-05-31 20:00 - 22:00 | In Front of Luna, De Lampendriessen 31, Eindhoven, 5612AH, Netherlands
On Tuesday evening on the 31st of May we plan to head out again for some landscape photography. Together we will go to the heather and take some pictures as the sun sets. We will meet at the university at 20:00 sharp and take the bike to our destination, which is the “Stratumse Heide.” Be sure to be on time because the sun will not wait on us to go down! Hopefully the weather will be in our favour so we can capture some beautiful images, but it could be that we have to organise a different activity. We will keep track of the forecasts and let you know if anything changes.

Time/Hyperlapse Workshop
2022-04-05 20:00 - 22:00 | In Front of Luna, De Lampendriessen 31, Eindhoven, 5612AH, Netherlands
On the 5th of April we will gather in front of the Luna building for this activity. We will set out together to create time- and hyperlapses in Eindhoven. Timelapses are made by viewing the film frames of your video at a faster rate than what they were recorded at. Hyperlapses work with the same principle, only then the camera is moved between each frame. Many cameras have a feature built in that allows you to record timelapse videos, but you can always take separate pictures yourself and combine them in post.

Double Exposure Workshop
2022-03-08 20:00 - 22:00 | DM Studio (Luna -1.398), De Lampendriessen 31, Eindhoven, 5612AH, Netherlands
The idea of double exposure comes from analog photography, where you basically take two pictures without moving the film. This way the two image will be overlayed, which can create a very interesting, confusing or dreamy effect. Even if you shoot digital, the same effect can be simulated using Photoshop. On this evening, we will gather at the DM studio with lights, props and people to photograph. We will give some basic instructions for editing, so you can already get started with Photoshop if you feel like it. If you don’t know or have Photoshop, we can help you out, or just tag along with someone else!

One of our favorite activities during the exam week is a relaxed movie night of course. During this movie night we will be watching ‘Cidade de Deus’! ‘Cidadadeda de what!?’ you might ask, ‘Ci-da-de de Deus’. Also known as ‘City of God’. This high paced movie about a young aspiring photographer in the slums of Rio de Janeiro, has some beautiful cinematography, but also especially good editing. It manages to make a story with dozens of characters easy to follow and puts you on the edge of your seat. Stick around after the movie to discuss this epic piece of cinema.

As the days get shorter and shorter, we start to turn on the lights! To commemorate the liberation of Eindhoven at the end of the second World War, a route has been created which is decorated by beautiful works of art using lights. We will follow in the steps of the liberating forces, by biking over (part of) this route, and taking pictures along the way. This is a great place to make some nice bokeh pictures and play with interesting lighting.
