Evening shot from Rijksweg Zuid. My first ever long exposure shot.
#78 Cold Air, Warm Light
I can feel winter knocking.
Not here yet, but close enough to smell it in the air. The mornings are colder. The fog rolls in heavier. And when the sun finally breaks through… it hits the landscape like fire through smoke.
I took this shot a while ago… but every time I look at it, I can still feel that glow.
That silence. That peace. Man, I loved being out there.
#77 Lightroom Presets With Some Industrial Undertones
A few days ago, I was playing around with some Lightroom presets and came up with this dark, desaturated, industrial, orange look I really liked.
You know that moment when you look at a photo and think,
“Damn… this looks like it’s straight out of a horror movie”?
That’s exactly what I was chasing.
I’ve been experimenting with gritty, cinematic tones for a while, but nothing ever clicked until now.
This one’s got that eerie, Halloween kind of vibe.
It’s dark. It’s moody. It feels cinematic.
And if you apply it to your photos, I can almost guarantee… they’ll hit different.
Wanna give it a shot?
Hit me up, and I’ll send it to you.
#76 Early Morning Coffee Hike
This shot already tells half the story with that glow of the burner.
But let me take you behind it.
It was my first time hiking through the forest in the dark.
I wanted to go early… way before the world is awake. After a week of grinding, noise, and deadlines chewing at my brain, silence is the best therapy there is.
But hiking through those woods before dawn?
Man, it’s no joke.
I swear someone was watching me from behind the trees. My flashlight feelt too weak, and every rustle sounded like some animal was about to eat me.
Still… wouldn’t change a thing.
Need it to get out.
I made myself a cup of coffee and sat there in silence. Could have sat there all day. But time was moving way to fast.
I packed up, hit the trail, and finished the loop… about 7 km of early morning magic.
Took some great shots along the way.
#75 Seven shots. One scene. A minute from home…
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.
#74 Late Autumn Sittard
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.
#73 At The Wash Station – Karvina, Czech Republic
Snapped this while my friend was washing his car at a self-service wash in Karviná, Czech Republic…
#72 Milky Way From A Czech Campround
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.
#71 Golden Leaves
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.
#69 Westkapelle Chilling By The Beach
A shot of me standing in front of the beach in Westkapelle, Netherlands.
Wind in my face. Sand everywhere. Cold… but what a day.
#68 Port Zélande At Sunset
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!
#67 Morning In Standspark Sittard
“Every time you skip a session, you’re delaying your growth. Showing up, even imperfectly, is better than not at all.”
#65 Autumn At Full Swing
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.
