There was a beautiful sunset this morning. Clear skies, a few friendly clouds. I went on my bike to a known small wood nearby.

A few moments
Some photos from shoots i took over the last month or so. From places I have been a few times before already so no news to tell.

After a week of bitterly cold weather, a bit early this year, the weekend started off with a real blizzard.

Carl Zeiss 2/100mm first test
I just exchanged my Nikon 1.4/85mm for a brand new Carl Zeiss Planar 2.0/100mm zf.2. What an amazing piece of art this lens is! It’s heavy but so beautiful finished. All metal and glass. No comparison with the plastic Nikon i had.

A summer's day
A typical summer’s day in Holland. Blue sky, nice white clouds, a modarate wind and 22 degrees celcius. I took my canon digtal ixus in my pocket and went for a bicycle ride.

Movement #1
Today i took my Nikon and the 1.4/85MM for a test shooting. I screw off the lenshood and screw on the Singh-Ray Vari-ND filter. Then i put on the lenshood again. Because it is a variable filter, you can frame and focus the image in the lightest (min) position.

In this quiet place
Another cold winterday. I take the camera for a walk to the Bommelse gorzen between Den Bommel and Stad aan het Haringvliet. It is very quiet. Only the strange sound of geese mumbling on the shore can be heard. Nothing else. The sky is gray and passes slowly from the northeast.

These are all fairy tales
Back in ‘my’ artificial wood. Fresh snow fell last night and the world seems like one big happy fairytale. (yeah) In the picture with the shadow you’ll see the curve of a dike, to prevent lake Haringvliet from flooding.

Dark forest
A free wednesday afternoon. The whether is fine and the autumn colors are awesome this time a year. Even for BW photography! So I take my bike (and camera) for a ride to a very, very small wood nearby.

First winter day
of the season. A 5 minutes walk from home lies the so called “Bommelse gorzen”. A nature reserve. About 160 ft wide and 3 miles long it is not that large. It is one of a few gorzen on the banks of Goeree-Overflakkee.
A “gors” is silted land situated between dikes and water that will not overflow during normal flood tide.

Reflections
Sometimes you have these rare and seldom days that the weather has turned the landscape into a magical wonderworld. Frost covers the trees standing on the shore of lake Haringvliet. It is a shame that these trees were removed last year.

Thunderstorm
A warm summer evening in July. It is almost noiseless outside. No wind. The only sound you here is a distant rumble of a thunderstorm. The evening colors are shifting towards a yellowish hue. This is a very strange experience.

Wind, Shadow, Clouds
This image (MG_0079) appeared immediately in my mind when i saw the shadow of this tree on the embankment (lake Haringvliet is behind it) Light was good, clouds were just in place. This one was not to miss.
The ‘twin’ clouds on the other image represents the stillness of that moment i think.

Large tree, small sheep
Yes. This image (BW20-28) is almost a famous one. Many people love this photo of a large poplar tree. It is the last one of a row standing along an embankment. I must say: was the last one, because the tree is gone. All the trees are gone. They were overaged. So they had to go. It’s such a shame.
Another day, just a few 100 meters away from the tree i saw some sheep. Very, very tiny sheep.

Miscellaneous I
These were shot with a Contax S2 camera. No digital capture. In those days i still worked with film. I did have a filmscanner.
