Went for a little short morning walk this morning. Getting those steps in on my day off before heading to Dallas on Monday. I have walked most of the route before and always come across a gardening association that is called “Ons Genot” (meaning Our Pleasure), but what strikes me as contradicting is that it is probably the most well-guarded garden association that I know of in the area. Wanted to make the picture of the hand-painted sign behind the pond and the red/white fence before, but never did it until today. It feels like an unreachable Utopia. Something only

Here is a little selection of photos made during September 2021. Planning to do this every month to do some kind of story in pictures of what I have been up to besides regular work and to get better at photography by just taking pictures. Having my camera with me and take the opportunities that I come across, but also daring myself to create those opportunities. More photos, blender projects, and other things you normally can find on my Instagram. 9 Days on Ameland To close off this month. We went to Ameland for 9 days to unwind, enjoy nature and

While still on Ameland started to make some more photos, that I will probably post as a round-up when I am back, I started to experiment with the Photomerge function within Photoshop to stitch photos together. You can find many tutorials and already learned that every stitch will require a different approach depending on how you photograph the series. I thought I share one that I am particularly proud of. A stitch of 26 photos and some manual work went into it. The original file is 1,66GB to maybe later make some prints of it. All photos taken with my

A couple of my friends have been doing graffiti for years and I asked a while back @instaniwa if I could join him to just watch the process of how it is being made. Graffiti is different of course than a digital art piece as most of the time you can manipulate that along the way and delete layers if you changed your mind. Graffiti are layers stacked on top of each other and for the base of the piece, you already need to plan ahead how you want it to look. Of course, adding the details and flair at

Probably the short answer to why I started uploading some photos, animations, and renders to stock websites: Why not? Most of the time my Canon camera is in my bag anyway. I make pictures all the time and most of them are just stored on a NAS running in the closet next to the router. So I started thinking why not just upload the photos and renders that are suitable to stock websites as then they potentially earn something on the side. Not that I am focussing on the earnings of my personal projects right now, but these kinds of

Here is a little selection of photos made during August 2021. Planning to do this every month to do some kind of story in pictures of what I have been up to besides regular work. More photos, blender projects, and other things you normally can find on my Instagram. A little walk to Lunetten Started walking more and more to train for the 4daagse (4 days of 40km walk). One of the ways I do that is to do my groceries in different parts of the city. These are photos of my little walk to Lunetten to checkout Ekovers. A

Decided to start some photography again and make one post every month with a selection of those images. Haven’t touched the camera that often for a while (mainly when we were on holiday), but I am also training for the 4x50km walk in Nijmegen it felt like something extra to do. A while ago I compiled a selection of my photographs I made between 2010 and 2019 in another post. I will often post new photos on my Instagram. Some of my photos and animations you can buy on Pond5 (20% off when clicking this link) or Adobe Stock with
