The Noctilux keeps proving itself as a pretty versatile instrument. Here, I noticed one of the family members laughing out loud after a joke was told. The Noctilux enables me to isolate the man, even over a distance of a few meters and draws the scene with a buttery smooth rendering. I think one of […]

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 […]
Wednesday wedding pic: getting ready
The Leica 50/0.95 Noctilux is slowly starting to replace my trusted 50 Cron. At first I thought I’d use the Nocti only in bad light or for situations where a shallow depth of field would add to the mood. But now, I found out that the Nocti is also perfectly usable with smaller apertures. And […]
Tuesday travel: the boat II
One of the best features of the Leica M system is it’s size and weight. This makes for the perfect travel camera, but mind you: if you carry six lenses, two bodies and a tripod, your bag will still be very heavy. So the key for a perfect travel bag is to take as little […]
Tuesday travel: the boat
Cambodia is a fascinating country foe traveling. Although there are some parts you’d better not go to, there are lots of interesting places to visit besides the well know Angkor area. Here we took a boat trip to a fisherman’s village, on a lake that only exists in the rain season. When one of the […]
Tuesday Travel: Run Forrest, run…
Somewhere in the outskirts of Kowloon (HongKong) I came across a field where locals were playing soccer. One guy, although it was bloody hot, was running along the field. I like how the wire adds a bit of mystique to the scene. Leica M9 with 50 summicron
Tuesday Travel: the tent
The Abel Tasman Track is one of the most famous hiking tracks in the world. Although I much prefer Norway to New Zealand when it comes to hiking, the Tasman sure is a special hike. We camped at Annapai Beach for a night and while my wife used her head torch to ‘paint’ the tent […]
Tuesday Travel: Jesus and the sun
Some time ago I was in Buenos Aires and one of the places you have to see is the Recoleta cemetery. It’s too bad that a lot of graves are falling apart, due to economical misery, but it’s till a marvelous place to visit. I noticed this statue of Jesus and it was like he […]
Tuesday Travel: The nose job
I was walking around in Bangkok when I noticed this lady, who was selling tickets for a tourist attraction, giving herself a nose job. She didn’t seem to care that everybody could see her ‘working’ her nose, so I figured she would’t mind being featured in ‘Tuesday Travel’ as well… Leica M9 with 35 Cron […]
Tuesday Travel: the kiss
