Photographing in a busy forest
Now that we are in the middle of the pandemic, we see that there are almost no other options than to visit nature when we want to go out. You can see that in the woods now, it is very busy.

How do you avoid hard light?
If I plan to take landscape photos, it is the first thing I pay attention to: the weather. Will it remain dry, because I still find rain difficult, does the sun shine, when does the sun rise and set, is it cloudy?

A beautiful large forest in North Brabant, The Netherlands
In the years, I have visited De Stippelberg forest near De Rips in North Brabant (south of The Netherlands ) many times. A beautiful large and very diverse forest.

A piece of paradise in North Limburg
The Leudal, a small nature reserve near Roggel. I had recently visited this area with two friends after not having been there for a long time. My parents used to take my sisters and me many times with this. We always had the feeling that we were not in the Netherlands for a while because the Netherlands is so flat and this area has some height difference.

Last night during the golden hour I traveled to an avenue to capture the beautiful golden light.

Now that everything is completely green, I can't resist taking a day at Garderen to photograph the beautiful Speulderbos again.

It is still not winter in the Netherlands. In fact, we are breaking heat records. A few days ago it was 13 degrees and sunny, it felt like the biginning spring.

The last warm days of the year are now and then so I have to capture those colors in Het Speulderbos near Garderen. No sooner said than done. An evening and a morning must ultimately yield beautiful records.

Beautiful Vijlenerbos in the early light (The Netherlands)
On Friday, August 30, I left in time to do a photo shoot in the Vijlenerbos near Vijlen in South Limburg. The plan was to photograph the beautiful forest in evening and morning light.

Just got back from the trip through Western Canada. What a beautiful, photogenic country. Walked and climbed a lot and of course took many photos.

I get a lot of questions about my workflow, which software I use and how I edit a photo. This is unfortunately not easy to explain as each photo gets different edits. It depends on the composition, the light, the colors etc. etc.

The most beautiful light
By the time the longest day approaches, the golden hour will also be nice and long (almost an hour and a half) and you will have plenty of time to take advantage of that beautiful, yellow light.

That's a nice surprise. For several months I stopped posting photos on Facebook and started posting photos on Zoom.nl.

Together with a very good friend to South Limburg for landscape photography in and around beautiful Vijlen. That was the program for today. And that is not only fun to do but also very fun.

For some time I had planned to travel to the Veluwe to take some nice pictures here. For me a bit of a drive and so I decided to stay a night to experience the morning light. The weather forecast is good so on the road.

Too busy to keep up with my blog. That is why I am behind. Very busy with my work and with photography and that is why my blog has to wait. Herewith a fresh spring photo from Griendtsveen!

Snow and rain follow each other. A wet winter. But if the sun is there, it will still be beautiful on the Heide.
