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.

Vienna Day 1

/19 Comments/in /by

At the moment I’m in Vienna Austria.
From Wednesday till Friday I will be teaching 3 full day (intense) workshops in some awesome locations, like castles, so this promises to be amazing. There are still 1-2 seats available I heard, so surf to http://www.photoconvention.eu and book your seats.

But the first 2 days we’re in Vienna and enjoying the city.
Well enjoying…. 🙂
This morning our alarm went off at 3:00AM and our journey began, luckily it’s just a small hop (90 minutes flight), so we arrived in Vienna around 9:00AM and still had the whole day ahead of us.

At the Dapper market Amsterdam

This week I visited the Eyes on Media event “Meet the Credo’s” from Leaf, where we could get the first “experience” with the new Leaf digital backs in the Credo line up. I already ordered the Credo 60 but still could not resist to take a quick peek. I can say it’s an awesome back, the display is incredibly bright and is very speedy, the swipes are smooth and fast and zooming to 100% with the Credo 80 (80MP) was done in about 3 seconds (very impressive).
Because Eyes on Media is located in Amsterdam I could not resist to very quickly (10 minutes) visit the Dapper market. I never went there before but I got a tip it was a nice place to shoot some images, and as you know I love to do some street style photography some times, and because I’m in the middle of writing my book for the Dutch market I sometimes miss shooting, so this was the perfect chance.

Hope you enjoy the images 🙂

Sometimes a mistake can be cool

When using a digital back (in the case a Leaf AptusII7) on a camera like the Mamiya RZ67ProII one can run into a problem when shooting to quick… in 99% of the cases this means you can throw away the images, but sometimes an interesting image comes out.


What happens is that part of two images are mixed together but also a lot of “artifacts”. Normally the back will tell the camera when you can shoot again, but with the RZ67ProII there is no “communication” between the back and camera, so officially I have to wait for the beep….. when you don’t in the heat of the moment stuff like this can happen, it happens rarely but when it does…. very very rarely something comes out that is fun enough to share, but this time I think it was interesting.

Getting more and more fun in street photography.
Very difficult area of photography but so much fun, and for me it’s a great “escape” from the more “styled” fashion and beauty shots. You never know what’s gonna happen, if you have to run from a guy (or girl) or if you take a great portrait of someone. These images are also shown in our videopodcast but now you can see them in the blog.
