Bio

Me? Amateur photographer from Delft, the Netherlands. Got my first analog SLR in 1992 (a Canon EOS1000F). In the new digital era, which renewed my interest for photography, I switched to Nikon dSLR. What I really like about digital photography is that you can control both shooting (every good photo starts with a good shot) as well as post processing yourself.

Style: Favorites are stills and landscapes; in stills, use of limited DoF is typical for my style. In landscapes, I like to emphasize the clouds during the actual shoot (spot measuring, filters) and in post processing by optimizing the contrast and hue/saturation to a more dramatic level.

My goal? To take things out of their everyday environment and make them look special, even though it's just that coffee cup I use every weekend.

To put it in other people's words: "In all things of Nature, there is something of the Marvellous" (Aristoteles).
