Time blen­ding – why it pays to focus on just one image 

Tonight will be a piece of cake. All weather models are predic­ting a beau­tiful sunset. I arrive on site in good time and am pretty sure what I want to photo­graph and how. My tripod, camera and filters are set up in no time, and the sunset is already looking really great at sunset. Now I just have to wait until it really kicks in. But wait a minute, has it already faded a little between the last two shots? Yes… what now?

Nether­lands classics 

Oh man, what’s wrong with my timing? Pheno­menal golden light shines on the land­scape in front of me. I look at my car’s spee­do­meter. I’m already going a little too fast. And there are speed cameras ever­y­where here in the Nether­lands. Two more turns. Damn, another red light. Maybe it’ll stay red for another 10 minutes, who knows. Just a few more metres and I’ll reach the car park, but then the great light was gone. But the clouds look promi­sing. Don’t give up too soon, I thought to myself, and we set off along the path past these beau­tiful wind­mills in the Netherlands.

Wood­land photo­graphy at twilight 

I recently spent a few days travel­ling with my family in the Nether­lands and disco­vered a lovely little forest with some inte­res­ting trees close to the beach. However, the weather during those days was a bit unpre­dic­table. It was either pure suns­hine or pouring rain. Neither of these condi­tions encou­raged me to go outside and take photos in the forest. How could I still get some great shots? Then I had an idea. I’ll go when the sun isn’t bothe­ring me. Blue, diffuse, mystical. In this blog/vlog, I’ll show you why the blue hour is an under­rated time for forest photography.

One lens for everything 

FOMO – Fear of missing out. I think we all know what that is, right? Some­times it’s really bad for me. When the weather is great and I have to work or I have other plans, I get it – the fear of missing out on the perfect shot. That’s why I quickly expanded my lens coll­ec­tion. It ranges from 16 mm to 400 mm. Now it even goes up to 600 mm. With a tele­con­verter, that’s actually 1200 mm. I usually have ever­y­thing with me so I don’t miss a shot. What happens? Some­times you miss the shot anyway. Chan­ging lenses takes time. Setting out with only one focal length helps crea­ti­vity; it’s limi­ting on the one hand, but it gives you freedom on the other. If I had to give up all my lenses except one, which one would I keep?

Incre­dibly diverse — the dune land­scape of the Netherlands 

Phew… I worked up a sweat again. I had already realised that the condi­tions were going to be fanta­stic that evening. I had scouted out a spot, but hadn’t had time to check it out yet. It should actually be fine if I get there early and have a look around. However, I hadn’t reckoned with my children and so — as a father of two — I ended up with less time than I had hoped. But see/read for yourself.
