#124 Kollenberg Sunrise Shot

124 Kollenberg Sunrise Shot

A few weeks ago, the morning was just real nice. Clear sky, frost on the ground, and that crisp air you only get early in the morning. As I was walking around Kollenberg, looking for a good spot, I thought…let’s…

120 Sunrise From Millenerweg

Beautiful morning light over the stream, the sun slowly poking through, and a layer of fog sitting right above the water. It made everything look cinematic… almost unreal. Perfect start to the day.

#114 Kollenberg Sittard Panorama

Kollenberg Sittard Panorama Resized

Kollenberg, Sittard. Nine images stitched together to make this panorama. What’s funny is… I wasn’t even planning to go there. Didn’t expect anything. Just ended up on the hill and thought, “Alright, let’s see what’s here.” And then this happened.…

#113 Brugstraat Sittard Sunrise Shot

Brugstraat Early In The Morning

#106 Adventurer

106 Full Time Adventurer

There’s a line I read the other night that sucker-punched me right in the gut. It said: “How can I make sure I squeeze everything out of life instead of having life squeeze everything out of me?” Boom. Read that…

Stadspark, Sittard. Sunrise. Panorama made with a Sigma Art 19mm — 9 shots stitched together. One of those mornings that makes you forget everything else. The kind that reminds me why I always carry a camera. You never know when…

#101 The Sky Just Exploded

The Sky Just Exploded

This shot wasn’t planned. I was walking home — tired, head full of noise — when the sky just EXPLODED. Everything around me was dead silent. The water didn’t move. No people. No traffic. Just me and a sky that…

#94 Watersley Late Autumn Shot

94 Watersley Late Autumn Shot

It was quiet.   Way too quiet.   The kind of morning where most birds already left. I was just cycling past Watersley, heading towards the top of Kollenberg where I was planning to stop and take some photos. But then the…

#93 On The Way To Geleen

A shot of an empty road from a bridge that connects Sittard and Geleen. Took it early in the morning while cycling to Geleen… …and I can still feel the cold. My hands were frozen like they were holding a…

#92 The Kind of Morning You Don’t Forget

When there is fog rolling across the fields and the sun starts to punch through it, that’s your window. That’s when you already outside with your camera shooting this photos like madman.  Because that kind of light doesn’t wait. You’ve…

#30 Film-Inspired Lightroom Preset

Film-Inspired Lightroom Preset

Lately, I’ve been experimenting in Lightroom, trying to create very specific looks. I’ve been pulling inspiration from Hollywood cinema—thrillers, horror films, you name it. With just the Color Mixer, you can dial in tones that completely change the mood of…

A photograph of my bike at the washing station. I took it for a quick morning spin and got some awesome photos from the session. This gotta be my favorite. Taken on my old Sony NEX system so that I…
