Intimate landscape

Mist and mood

Bench

Westkapelle, NL -

While everybody else focused on the sea and the beach I turned around and noticed this lone bench on top of a dike, with a dark blue sky and pure white clouds in the background. I used a polarizer filter to darken the sky and increase the contrast.

Pole position

Sometimes the most simple objects can make a scene work. Trying to capture the gorgeous light during sunset, I used this beach pole to act as my subject.

Stump

Veluwe -

I was trying to photograph this stump for about an hour or so, but the right circumstances just weren't there. The sky was great, with magnificent cumulus clouds, a dark sky with rain, and even a rainbow appeared for a few minutes, but it was all just too busy for my liking. 🤔

After the sun got lower in the sky, the light became more pleasing. Some patches of blue appeared in the sky, and I decided to try a long exposure. I used a ten-stop filter together with a six-stop filter to get a long enough exposure time.

Yellow birch leave -

This little yellow birch leaf on top of a bed of brown oak leaves caught my attention.

Split

Deelerwoud, NL -

I passed by this tree several times and it seems as if it has been struck by lightning. At least it gave me the opportunity to take this photograph, although it was a bit of a hassle to position my tripod in the right position. At first the sun was too yellow and too bright, but after a while it turned beautifully orange, revealing its spherical shape.

Motion

Veluwe, NL -

Due to a lack of inspiration and interesting circumstances I decided to be creative and took this photo of a group of young birches by simultaneously moving the camera up and release the shutter. After some trial and error I managed to create this abstract photo.
