I have done quite a few Leica workshops this year and I thought I’d show some of the results of the participants. I’m not sure who shot which picture, but I’ll add my comment below. Interested in a Leica workshop for yourself? I’m planning new workshops in November and there will probably be new workshops […]

Time stood still in Rogen
Shot with the Leica M240 and CV 15/4.5 v3. Read more about this trip on this website.
Why the Voigtländer 15/4.5 V3 is such a great lens
It took me a long time to figure out which gear I’d bring on my six months adventure through Scandinavia. Most of the time we’d be paddling. And shooting from a canoe is a hard thing to do. Not because it’s a technical challenge, but moreover because the position you can take as a photographer […]
Time for a change
I’ve worked a lot the last few years. I’ve covered many weddings and other events. And I’m happy to see an increase in the number of workshops that I give. I love my work, absolutely, but one year ago I started planning for something else… The next sixt months my wife Anita and I will […]
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: hey you!
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. […]
Travel tuesday: the boat III
Lots of boats here lately. This one was also actually shot from a boat. Which is quite a challenge, because using a tripod and a long shutter speed won’t get you what you want. Because your boat is floating on the water and moves up and down, a long shutter speed will create a blurry […]
Q&A: why the M8 again?
As you’ve noticed, you can’t leave replies on this website. And for a reason, because I have no time for moderation. Besides, there are plenty other websites where you can engage in lively discussions. However, I do get quite a lot of emails with all kinds of questions. From now on, I’ll answer these questions […]
Improve your RF focussing skills
Now that Steve Huff was kind enough to publish my article on sixty weddings with a Leica M240, I got several emails from rangefinder shooters asking how to improve their focussing skills. Most of you might already know the answer, but the key is practice. Not a little bit, but a lot. In fact, even […]
