Photography

Day in Arnhem

Went with my GF for a walk, we came back with this.

Greece 3/7

And we continue with photo’s from Greece!

Incredibly busy road, this photo is untouched, all visual effects done on the camera. Gotta love my 5DMII

A low quality, bad, overcontrasted and underlighted photo. Still I like it, good memories, good story.

Emma intergrating in Greec culture. Seriously DO support Greece because those warriors over there… you don’t want them to invade the rest of Europe!

Our awesome couchsurfing-host brought us to the opening of a salsa-club. We got a very nice demonstration of Salsa dancing. Sexy!

Wasn’t aware communism was still so active in countries. This was an eye-opener for me.

This was the place where we stayed. This was STEEP!

300D – playing around

Remember the old Canon EOS 300D camera? I might have the 1DMKII and 5DMKII around, but sometimes it’s nice to play around with the oldies. Don’t forget I started with this camera and I did paid work with it.

Arnhem, Boulevard Heuvelink. Shot with a nice Minolta 135mm 2.8 lens (converter used)

Welcome to eternal happiness – My kitchen.  14mm wide-angle lens.

Shot with an old Nikkor lens, on my EOS using a converter.

Same lens as in the previous picture, but on macro.

Got this flower from my girlfriend. So I decided to capture it. 🙂 Gotta catch ‘m all!

Once again the 300D, now mounted with the 24mm Tilt Shift lens from Canon. It’s amazingly cool if you know how to use it.

And my dusty bass. 14mm lens.

GREECE part 2/7

And here’s more pics…

 

 

 

 

 

GREECE part 1/7

Went to Greece with my girlfriend, here’s some photo’s

 

 

 

 

 

That’s it for now, I have more but don’t want to post too many pictures in one post!

“Walking on a Sunday morning”.

Hi guys! Had a couchsurfing guest at my place last night. Was brief, but fun. In the morning I brought her to the center of Arnhem where she had to do an English test. Anyway, on my way back I took some pics.

 

 

 

Most of them are quite in the same style I’ve been working for a while. Of course there will be people saying they’re photoshopped… I just call it processing.

Till next post!

 

Picking up the old habbit.

Going to focus a bit more on skateboarding photography. So if anyone in Arnhem is interested or knows people, let me know!

and

And here we go again!

At saturday I did another bicycle GeoCache trip, here are the results!

Canon 24-105 IS USM L love.

About two weeks ago I bought the Canon 24-105 IS USM L camera from a really cool photographer. In general photographers are mean bastards. Yes I’ve said it in public, I dislike them. No I don’t dislike them, I hate them. But this guy was really cool! So here are some pictures I took yesterday with this awesome lens.

In the meanwhile you can also take a look at his website here: http://www.basweetink.nl/

Some random Emmerich shots!

Emmerich is a nice place, but scary too. And in the summer it can become pretty hot and dry. So here are some new pictures for you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ANOTHER BICYCLE TRIP: Monaco!


Would you look at that, another trip! Yes ladies and gentleman, Steven is going on another bicycle trip!

This year the trip will be from Emmerich to Monaco. An exciting trip over mountains and the plains of France. We’ll see the provence while getting exhausted.

Want to know more? Visit the special website and tell us what you want us to do! Yes you’ve read it correct, YOU can come up with daily challenges and more!

Go to http://www.emmerichtomonaco.nl and share your challenge for us!

A new lifestyle.

A new house, a completely new location, far away from friends and family. Yes it’s something totally different.

Everything is new. From transport, food, the house to clothes and times I go to bed. To make the contrast even bigger, things got really cold after 2-3 weeks of living here. So cold that we actually got snow, nice! Except if you have to use your bicycle on a daily basis.

Either way, here some pics from my new “situation”.

This is my current bed. I actually finished putting it together yesterday!


Me after I just came home.


In the cold fields out there, clothes like these aren’t a luxery. I often cycle around 10-11pm through snowy blizzards. So a regular t-shirt and a cap won’t do.


Another one!


This is a famous building next to trainstation Wehl. It has been abandonned for a while now. Can you tell?

And here two other pics I took last friday when I went to Amsterdam. Taken at Utrecht CS after my train had a 30 minute delay.

That’s all for now, hope you enjoy them!

From Emmerich, with love.

Oaky it’s been a while but life has been crazy! I moved to Emmerich, I STILL don’t have internet there and I’ve been busy at work as well. Working 40 hours a week is quite a lot, especially if you do a lot of crunchtiming.

Photography still has it’s place in my daily routines and I occaisionly still take pictures. Especially in the weekends of course. So here are some very recent pictures all taken around my new house. Enjoy!

Still alive, no worries.

I think for my visitors, the post about me having a job was bad news. Well you can clearly see that I have been a tad less productive photography wise. Well at least I could pay for new gear. Also on my bicycle trip to Poland (yeah I did that stuff) I didn’t bring my EOS. Kinda regret it but okay.

So did I do nothing? Oh I did something. Here some shots from the last few days for you to enjoy!

5D MK2 color test

Let’s see how far I can push my camera color-wise without the help of photoshop.

Cheers!

My Job

Okay guys, I think everyone has noticed I’ve been away for a while. I have a job. Yes, I have a job. It’s true.

Anyway took my cam to work. And I do respect the no-inside-photography-rules, so I took it outside. Here’s some pictures from my “workspace”!

Did I edit them: Yes.

Do I care about people who hate editing: No.

Why?

Simple. Photography is an interpretation of a mixture between life, how one sees it mixed with his or her feelings at that time. So there you have it. Limiting yourself within a creative branch is like creating engines to go slower. Pointless and not as much as FUN!
