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 […]

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 ‘Biesbosch’ is what our country used to look like a few hundred years ago. We made a two day trip through the area and camped almost in the water. Leica M240 with 28 Elmarit
Wednesday wedding pic: the dance #?
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

Tuesday Travel: Pedro

Wednesday wedding pic: the foreground
A lens is more than sharpness and bokeh. The way it renders a scene and how it renders out of focus elements in the foreground is just as important. By the way: using elements in the foreground is tricky with a rangefinder, because of the parallax. More about that later… Leica M240 with 50 summicron
