  • What makes a ‘great’ photo?

  • it’s a matter of speed

    1/10 sec.  f/22  ISO100  24 mm polar-filter nice photos always germinate from a beautiful nature, a good sleep, a happy mood, a German Shepherd, a clean lens and a beautiful wife !

  • changing lenses …

    I woke up early and together with the rising sun I saw the moon disappearing behind the mountain top…. I had to change lenses … ultra-wide to tele-lens … took a few seconds … no time to get the tripod …  but I like the result … earth and moon … same material, different situation.…

  • adapter

    I got me a KIPON FD-EOS adapter. So now I can use all my old FD lenses on the EOS cameras ! especially with the Sigma 600 mm tele-lens it gives me back the feeling of the seventies and eighties …. No stabilisation, no nothing …… so I have to use a tripod and all…

  • a good watch ….

  • the effect of bokeh

    This is the same branch with different backgrounds, because I photographed from a different angle …. Always be alert to the color effect of the background !

While I write this post, Marjan makes a fabulous dinner … The new lens is a cheap plastic lens, but for a cash-strapped amateur…

  • Lars

      When I see this slide show made by Lars van de Goor , my memory immediately goes back to the days I grew up in Vorden, the Netherlands. I’m inspired by his photography …. Watch it on Full Screen!

  • profotonet.nl

    I had good experiences with the books of profotonet.nl. Therefore, I let them print one of the photos behind acrylic glass. This is very unsatisfactory and I will not do again soon. An experience … judge for yourself …

  • before and after processing in Lightroom.

    before … after … The camera takes a picture , the photographer makes a photo.

  • some good advice ….
