What you see in this photograph is nothing extraordinary, just a random street in Sittard. Yet under certain conditions, you get this beautiful light coming through, reflecting off the windows and giving the street a totally different vibe. Just as…
Part two of this amazing morning when I got up way before sunrise to chase some astro photography and ended up switching to silhouettes. The stars were slowly disappearing, but the sky wasn’t done yet. For a few minutes there…
I couldn’t sleep last night. I was rolling around in bed like a sausage on a BBQ. Eventually I said enough and got up. Sometimes it’s like that. You just can’t sleep. Maybe this time it was the excitement of…
Shot on the Sony 55–210mm kit lens, and still one of my favorite shots from the day. I’m not completely sure why. I think the rain had something to do with it. Everything was wet, the greens looked richer, and…
Imagine being given a blank wall this size. Paint whatever you want on it. Just make sure it’s something related to the local fishing scene. What would you put there? I honestly have no idea. And I think that’s why…
Maybe Familiarity Is The Enemy Of Curiosity I’ve walked past this place more times than I can remember. And I don’t know what it was that day. Maybe it was the time of day, maybe the light just hit it…
Maybe Some Of The Best Moments Are The Ones When There’s Absolutely Nothing Going Through Your Head Nothing really happened on this ride. I was just riding from one village to another, taking roads I hadn’t been down before. The…
I was up early. Normally I would have stayed in bed a bit longer, but for some reason that day I got up and looked out of the window. All I could see was fog rolling in. It happened fast.…
There’s something odd about photographing a huge industrial complex at sunrise. Part of me sees smoke stacks and steel. Another part just sees shapes, light and one hell of a sky. It can be beautiful… Depends how you looking at…
I’m starting to think bad weather makes some of the best photographs. Stadspark was soaked that morning. Water everywhere, mist hanging between the trees and reflections in places where there normally aren’t any. I’ve walked through this park countless times,…
On one of my morning escapes I stopped by Zuyderland. The light was getting interesting, so I switched to a wide-angle lens and took a few shots.
The whole place was completely calm. Meanwhile, the sky looked like it was putting on a show just for itself. Glad I was there for it.
I remember standing there watching people look at photographs I had taken around Sittard. It probably wasn’t a big deal to anyone else. To me, it was huge.
…and I’m starting to understand why I keep getting up so early. There’s something about the morning light, the freshness of the air, and the empty streets. Love it.
I tried a vertical panorama this time. Stacked 6 images vertically, and this is what came out of it. You won’t see all the details here because I had to resize the image, but on a big screen it really…
