reading her book

reading her book

With the window in her back and the light bouncing on the pages into her face :)

BTW: I’m going to marry this beautiful woman. Hence the silence lately, too busy organising the wedding.

The eyes of my girlfriend. I love them (and her) so much.

I took this portrait on our trip in Prague, somewhere on a terrace. I used my 100mm macro for it, which is actually a great lens for taking portraits.

jet

November 10th, 2009 | hdr, postprocessing | No Comments »

Shot this jet/plane during a small exhibition a couple of weeks ago at the Antwerp Airport. Public was allowed so close to this jet, my 17mm wasn’t almost enough to get the entire plane in the frame. Shot it with the camera all the way down to the ground without being able to look through the viewfinder. After a couple of times trying aiming, this composition came out, sort of what I had in mind. PP-wise this shot has seen a single frame HDR tonemapping in Photomatix together with a serious desaturation. Original image can be found here.

Prague’s Old Jewish Cemetry

November 4th, 2009 | lifelog | No Comments »

In the Jewish quarter in Prague, there is the Old Jewish Cemetery. It is an impressive graveyard that was in use from the 15th century until 1787. It consists of many layers of tombs and rises up to 11 meters above street level. There are about 12.000 visible tomb stones and more or less 100.000 graves on this site. This place makes you silent…

Old fashioned trams in Prague

November 3rd, 2009 | city | No Comments »

After the metro and the bus, the third type of public transport in Prague is the tram. And they still have these old fashioned models over there. You can find plenty of red old trams in Prague and boy are they photogenic. And they invite for post-processing an old fashioned look.

“I’m a cute peacock living in a Prague in a park I forgot the name of.”
