Night crawling

You have to admit it. Taking pictures in daytime is one thing, but night time changes perspectives. When I still had a film camera back in the good ole film days, taking pictures was mainly a daytime activity. By night it was too dark to either focus or even determine if exposure was going to be sufficient.

Today, the digital cameras allow us to check that on the spot and, most of the time, to correct it as well.

At the end of the day

Ah, the promise of a romantic evening and night at the end of the day. For some, there is nothing better than to curl up on the couch, watch [something] with a glass of [something] and wait until darkness arrives.

While some nights are perfect for that, other evenings are better suited for photographers and their urge to be outside an shoot something. Ok, that’s a lot of “somethings” in two paragraphs…

Preparing for a field trip

How do you prepare for a field trip? That’s a question I get often. The answer has become a bit more complicated over time. While at first, it was a simple matter of getting in the car and drive, today’s method is a little more involved.

When you “only” have a simple point and shoot camera, not even a camera phone, then getting ready for a trip is done in seconds. When you get more gear, the preparation gets longer.

New Year’s resolutions

Well, not so much for all of the new year, just those few critical days where everything is about to change into something new and different. Almost invariably into something that is very similar or even the same altogether. One thing is a constant during these days. Much of the world is spending those days with eating and drinking and making good resolutions for the coming year.

So I thought I’d take a look at our eating and drinking habits of the last few years.

Winter is coming

Or so they say. The world is full of wintery pictures, each picture more beautiful than the next. Yet we all continue to photograph the subject as if it will never come back. I admit that I photograph subjects to remember them, one way or another. Wintery landscapes have always made me dream.

Sticky and powdery

Not so much the temperatures of –30C, but hey, those come with the territory.
