It were arctic circumstances this morning, but I wanted to go out there and have some fun in the cold. Around 6 AM me and my friend Tim went to the forest of Bakkeveen to capture some winter shots from the march over there. After staying one hour in the forest we decided to drive to the Lauwersmeer to try our luck over there. When we arrived at the Lauwersmeer it looked...

This morning I was browsing through my photo archive and this picture attracted my attention. It has a nice story which I want to share with you. This is a picture from 2003. It was the first year I had a “real” DSLR. My gear at that time was a Canon 10D with a 75-300mm USM lens. A great camera together with not the best lens, but good for me at that time....

I wanted to go to this spot for a long time. I often walk with my wife and dogs at the National Park The Drentsche Aa and always pass this location. This spot fascinated me because you have a...

Yesterday I made a trip to Noord Holland to the windmills of Schermerhorn. I wanted to shoot some Dutch culture pictures just in the middle of the day for my stock agency. At the end of the day I drove to the other side of the Lake IJssel and ended at the dam near Stavoren. I didn’t have dinner yet, so I ate the remaining currant buns for diner during my walk at...

Yesterday evening I went out for another photo-trip. I wanted to go to a spot at the IJsselmeer. I didn’t exactly know which spot, but I would let the light lead my way. On my way to the IJsselmeer I saw the clouds move from the south to the north. I assumed at sunset the clouds would be gone at the IJsselmeer. In the north I saw beautiful high clouds in the sky,...

Last Friday I visited Wierum on a warm summer evening. Wierum always has a great attraction to me with the old Maria church from around the year 1200. This church is the typical landmark of Wierum. When you are at the Waddensea you can see it from a great distance. This church used to be in the centre of the village, but due to lots of heavy floods the northern part of...

Last friday I went on a trip with my best friend Bas. The weather wasn’t very good during the day, but the weather-forecast was promising. We planned to go out to the beach of the North Sea where we wanted to capture some of the shapes in the sand. This should be the place to be that evening, because in the rest of the Netherlands it would be clouded with no sun at...

A little more than a year ago I changed from my Cokin filters to Lee, just because I wanted to use ND (graduated)filters which were more color neutral. Cokin is knows of its Magenta color cast. Especially with long exposures you can see the problem. I also bought a Travor ND8 (3 stops) filter which I used with my Cokin ND grad filters. The color cast you have with this...
