Found this old sequence of seven shots sitting on my hard drive. Stitched them together… and damn, it hit me again. This was autumn full of crazy deep reds.
We shot this about a minute from home. I told my girlfriend to stand in the shot with her mountain bike… just to show how massive this scene really was.
It’s wild how you can pass the same spot a hundred times and never really appreciate it until one day, you do… and it knocks the wind out of you.
I took this shot while mountain biking along the stream years ago. Autumn was showing off. The air smelled like wet leaves, the ground was a muddy mess, and every corner looked like a potential for a snapping a quick shot.
Cold morning day but perfect.
Snapped this while my friend was washing his car at a self-service wash in Karviná, Czech Republic…
I took this shot in Beskydy Mountains in the Czech Republic. Was trying to capture the Milky Way but the light polution, even in the mountains, is too strong.
It’s pure magic!
It doesn’t stay like this for long. Perhaps another 2-3 weeks. So if you can, get outside.
Mornings are the best…
Let’s go!
Let the sunshine slap you awake.
A shot of me standing in front of the beach in Westkapelle, Netherlands.
Wind in my face. Sand everywhere. Cold… but what a day.
Perfect evening?
Absolutelly!
I couldn’t wish for better light.
No wind…
The boats barely moved. The water looked like glass…
No rush.
No noise.
No stress.
Amazing evening!
“Every time you skip a session, you’re delaying your growth. Showing up, even imperfectly, is better than not at all.”
Took this one years ago while mountain biking around Kollenberg. On the way home I spotted this magnificent tree. The light was perfect.
Took few shots and BOOM!
A shot that stays in my mind whenever the autumn is in full swing.
7:13 a.m. — Love shooting at this hour, just before the sun comes up. It’s peaceful, it’s beautiful out there!
Thousands of shots. But this one… this one stuck.
Something about the colors. The quiet. The air…
It’s not perfect — but it’s real!
Funny thing is, I almost left my camera at home that day. Went for a short Sunday walk… and this happened.
Maybe that’s why I keep coming back to it.
Because the photos you love most aren’t the prettiest…
they’re the ones that make you feel something.
