So, as I said I was present at a training of our first gents' team. You saw the GIFs, now it is time for the stills. I only got spikes/attacks though seeing that time and space was limited. Take a look after the jump >>>

Tonight we (my wife and I) were invited to our volleyball club's annual volunteers barbecue. Naturally I brought my camera (nerdfact D700 + 50mm 1.4) and took some photos. Earlier today I was also asked to take some photos over the coming months to put on the website (and stuff) and what better moment to start, right? For today: Atmosphere/Groups For later this week: Portraits/Close-ups

I went over yesterday to take some photos of one of the teams. A men's team this time. Later on I will post some stills, but for now here are some GIF's. Please leave a comment if you like what you see :) Click below to jump to the GIFs >>>

It has been some time since I shot a volleyball team, but a couple of days ago I did. Seeing that my own camera is a wonderful piece of equipment from the prehistoric age I needed to borrow a camera. And so I did, a D7000 from work and a couple of lenses. It was an eye-opener to be sure (for I finally could shoot anything above 400 ISO without being hit in the face by blinding roughness), but I

On our trip (me and my fiancee, not the proverbial I want to sound important on the internet 'we') through Australia we came across a couple of old, rusty cars. Still sleepy from the long trip on the bus I decided to get the camera out and take a few photos. Black and white, and colour was what I used for these. Just a quickie today!

Today I had some free time waiting for the Oxfam guys to come pick up a sleeping couch we wanted to get rid off. I always prefer giving to them to simply throwing out. But hey, that's not for now. As I wrote last time I have started working at a photography school and I was talking to my colleague about my old Mavica that's lying around our place and I decided to put it on here. Seeing that

As some of you might know I have recently started teaching English at a photography & videography school. You can imagine that it feels as if I've died and gone to heaven. It is the perfect mix for me!Working here is tough at times, but it is fun above all. And lets be honest, it has some perks as well. These perks include being around photographers all day and feeling inspired by them, but

Normally I would be writing a story with these photos, but since I am not really in the mood for writing anything I decided to simply post these photos of our beach volleyball practice. Just two, and that's it. Will be back soon with animal photos (seeing that I went to the zoo and did a photo shoot with a shepherd and her two dogs). Cheers

Even though Christmas has been quite some time ago I am still posting something about the Yuletide... The thing is, the photos here are taken on a Diana (analogue) and film takes a time to finish and develop and scan and etcetera.. Around that time my good friend Auke came over for Christmas Eve Dinner and as we broke out the Scotch I also decided to break out the Camera. Plus all that I just

Well, I have said it before and I will say it again: The silence was deafening. Still I have been busy of course, but with photography as well as with working towards my diploma at the end of this semester. I wanted to share this photo with you for today and hopefully it will make you think of Timon :) See you all in the coming days/weeks. And for those of you who have been checking in the

I would like to say that the sound of silence heard on this blog for the last month was deafening, but it probably was little more than a soft hiss. You know, the kind you hear when your fixing your bike tyre and just know there is a leak, and you can't find it, bu you are damned sure that you hear it. Then it turns out to be so soft that you aren't really sure whether you really heard it or not.

One of the photos in my street photography portfolio is this dog. The sunglasses look really nice on him, and slightly funny, but were absolutely necessary! This is because of the snow! When the sunlight reflects in the white, white snow the dog, who is very close to this shiny snow, gets easily blinded by it. That's why he was wearing the glasses. Nice huh!?!

Sorry guys and gals... I have been away for two or three days, but it has been rather a busy time these last few weeks. No excuses now though, so I'm back up posting every day from now on again :) The photo to the left I took while on holiday in France a couple of years ago. We were hanging out in the snow somewhere in the month of March and had some beers with us. Of course I brought my camera

A little of fine art today. It is a photo I will once want to recreate with a different setup and a different cupboard, but for now I will show you this. I like this idea although it goes around a little bit against the rules of where light should come from (only let light come from a place that is logical). But because this is fine art I think I am allowed to ;) Let me know what you
