A sunny sunday afternoon in Lier

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.

Good luck, honey!

My girlfriend is having her first exam today. Let’s wish her all the best of luck! You can do it, honey!

My girlfriend shot with my new Lensbaby Muse which I received from her as a Chrismas gift. Thanks for that honey. Shot in the garden, nothing but natural light. Put the photos together in Lightroom’s print module, Printed it as a jpeg, re-imported it again and exported it at the right size. The lensbaby itself is very fun to play with, but it needs some practice. It is very soft, so you have to get used to its look and search for subjects that can take such a soft look. So far it is very nice for portraits. All in all, I think simple compositions are most suitable for the lensbaby.
