Winter's showtime - IJsselmeer, The Netherlands |

Went through the ice during this evening's sunset....just a leg, stayed dry...pffff. Close call...but it was worth it. The colors this evening were mind-blowing. Laying on the ice at minus nine degrees, trying to get the horizon straight and focussing is a pain. But what a great winter yet again!

I'm clocking a lot of hours in the field these days. But with such beautiful winter scenery, I just have to be out there. This one was taken this morning at the IJsselmeer. Gorgeous light and arctic landscapes. Almost to good to be true. And it looks like winter is here to stay for a while. Don't forget it's full moon tomorrow! With these white landscapes and a clear sky, we could be in for a treat! |

At -23〫C waiting for the light isn't the most pleasant thing to do. The morning of February 4 was the coldest sunrise I have ever experienced in the Netherlands. It was also one of the most beautiful. This is a stitched panorama made up from 3 horizontal exposures at 70mm. Click on the image to see the larger version! |

Lights of Ljouwert - Leeuwarden, The Netherlands |

Last Friday evening and Saturday morning I was invited to Leeuwarden's center for arts Pernas for a guest lecture on landscape photography. During my stay in Leeuwarden I couldn't resist a photographic visit to the historic town center for some twilight shots. It seems like Leeuwarden forgot to turn off the Christmas lights... |

6th NVN International nature photography festival 2012 |
|
Zondag 22 Januari 2012 16:30 |

As you may already know, I will be one of the guest speakers at the 6th international nature photography festival 2012 in Burgers' Zoo in Arnhem. The festival will be held from February 10 till 11. The Saturday program is already sold out (including my seminar) but there are tickets available for the Friday program. Other speakers are Paul Nicklen, Frans Lanting and my Dutch colleague Ruben Smit. It is a festival you don't want to miss!
 The theme of my presentation will be 'Writing with light' and why in my opinion the light in many cases is more important than the subject. I'll be talking about what I call the 'Bird on a stick-virus' and how to cure yourself from this 'disease', commonly spread amongst nature and wildlife photographers. And of course I'll be showing a lot of my work, the story behind the images and the choices I made while taking them. During the festival I will also be selling and signing my latest book.
You can download the flyer with the complete program here. For more information please visit the NVN website. I'm looking forward to seeing you all on the festival! It will be fun!
