It’s here: a brand new Leica camera, called the SL. Aimed at professional photographers who need fast AF and high ISO performance. I’m very, very curious how it will perform in real life and how big the camera feels in the hand. What I’m even more curious about is what the next M will be […]

Wednesday Leica workshop day: angry police man
Last week Jan visited me all the way from Belgium to attend my workshop. While we were on a tour through The Hague we saw two guards in front of a government building. I told Jan to get a shot of the police man, without attracting their attention. I think the left guard did see […]
Wednesday workshop: 21mm portrait
I usually ask my workshop participants to bring their entire kit of cameras and lenses. Not to lug them around all day, but to point out some interesting features of the gear they have. A few weeks ago, one of my clients had a new Leica 21 Summilux and he told me he didn’t know […]
Tuesday Travel: De Biesbosch
The Netherlands is not the best country for outdoor adventure sports, however, for canoeists, like us, there is enough water.

The M is still reigning in my workflow. The Sony A7S is a welcome addition for low-light situations without fast action, but for all must-have-moments I always grab my M. Just in case you were wondering… Leica M240 with CV35/1.2

Yes, Anton Corbijn, the photographer that made our nation pride (or at least the people that know him) had an exposition in my home town The Hague. Of course I had to go. Clint Eastwood is still shouting ‘hey you’, after many, many years. Leica M8 with Zeiss 35/2.8
Wednesday wedding pic: the venue
A few weeks ago I covered a wedding at a local sports club. It was pretty nice, though I had to work with low and difficult light. In the evening, things started to get really, really dark. Because it was so hot, a lot of guests moved outside where there was no light at all. […]

Waterproof camera bags
If you’re only slightly adventurous and take your precious Leica camera for an occasional spin on the water, this post might be of interest to you. I’ve been on the water quite a few times and although I enjoyed these trips a lot, I didn’t take much pictures. Why? Simple, because I had to pack […]
