My blog, although I don’t see myself as a blogger but as a Photographer I will try to blog some interesting material during the weeks.
Expect at least 2 updates a week.

Giethoorn the Venice of the Netherlands

/6 Comments/in /by

Recently we visited Giethoorn for a small family outing.
Giethoorn is also called “the Venice of the Netherlands” because the whole village is build around a lot of canals (no roads), for me it’s always pure horror to think how people would ever get their sofas or other big furniture in, or where to park your car after groceries… pffff.

But as a visitor it’s a very nice place to be.
Because I could not yet walk a lot due to my knee injury we rented a small boat and used that to travel around in Giethoorn, but we also took a route through the large nature area around Giethoorn, do remember that these are just snaps shots, but I think that it’s sometimes fun to share some of these.

Motocross

Since my review of the Sigma 120-300 f2.8 OS I got a lot of questions how I liked it in “real life” situations. Because of my knee I did not have a lot of time to really go out and shoot, but last week we decided to take a small trip to a Motocross circuit and shoot some of the guys practicing there with the lens on the 5DMKIII. A good test for me because it was actually just the second time I tested the camera with sports.

Fuji X pro 1

/9 Comments/in , /by

I could never have expected what an impact it had when I bought my Fuji X10 camera a while ago at B&H in New York. I love the camera, and still love it. Actually my wife Annewiek is also using it and for her it’s a different camera than for me, she just love to put it on full auto and blast away, for me I love to play with all the settings and use it like a “real” camera. The first thing you notice with a camera like the X10 is the fact that people respond totally different than when I point a 5DMKIII to them so it makes shooting nice “candid” / “street photography” style photography a lot easier.

 

One could say “Fuji put the fun back into photography”
But I think that’s maybe a bit too much…. but in 100% honesty in some situations it’s simply the fact, where I felt uncomfortable with my DSLR or even was send away I now click away with my Fuji and still get a great quality…. but the quality of the X10 is great but it’s no DSLR, so this is where Fuji has another solution the X pro 1.

Today a quick look at this camera.
