A rework of an award winning published image of mine, and still a personal favourite.  This was shot almost two years ago to the day with my Nikon 45mm Tilt Shift Lens.  If you'd like to learn more about Tilt Shift and other techniques I'm going to be running a series of workshops very soon - let me know if you'd be interested in learning techniques to create images like this...

Crossing Over

Speed
Went today to Rotterdam to join photo walk organized by +Joel Tjintjelaar & +Johan Peijnenburg. We know eachother through g+ but to meet is a new dimension, fine people to walk with!
Besides these two biggies were still more fine people who have walked with, G+ connects people.
I know one thing photographing architecture is just as fun as street photography as I've done both ;-) 
This is my first share from that walk..... architecture have to wait ;-)

Good Afternoon,

Not been out much of late so I thought I'd pop over to my local lighthouse for sunset last night. Outgoing tide left this puddle, which cast some nice reflections from the cloud and lighthouse. I used the 10 stop filter to get the smeared cloud.

impressions of earth

My first shot of a new series of images, taken during my recent trip to Iceland. The project turned out to be very intense, but in a positive way, which I think helped me to make some important steps towards the kind of photography I like to pursue and the kind of images I like to create, in order to express 'me'.

For this shot in particular I completed several attempts before a 10min exposure finally did the trick. The weather was typical for Iceland, bad for long exposures though: Strong winds, high waves and frequent rain showers, but also short rays of sun. My standard drill during the exposures was me cowering behind my tripod, trying to keep it stable while assessing how much rain my camera still can take and when to jump in front of my camera to quickly wipe the lens to get rid of raindrops. I think I had to clean the lens up to five times during this exposure. But now I know that when you have roughly 2 min of exposure left, you still have a few really quick seconds to clean your lens without resulting in ghosting :-). Also I know now too, that one should fix every single piece of gear when the wind is that strong, otherwise you might have to watch your tripod bag drown in the ocean…

Anyway, I like the feel of this image and I hope you do too.
