About
this site:
Considering
the
lay-out of the site it may come as no surprise that photography is my
hobby. So my images are the core of the site. I hope that I'm not the
only one who likes them. On the other hand, being outside is of more
importance than coming home with nice images, I photograph the subjects
that touch me someway. Taking good images is not the goal.
Anybody
who whishes to share his thoughts about the site with me is invited to
do so:
Apart
from the photographs there is a small amount of general information,
related to the subject of the photography. Some links, for
instance, guide you to institutions of dutch nature
management.
In my opinion, the efforts of the foundation "Het Limburgs
Landschap" are
essential in order to keep the last remaining parts of characteristic
nature in my region.
I have the intention to extend the site with new series or new images
of existing series. Recently
the gallery "Oder estuary" has been added to the site.
About the technical
background of the photographs:
Older images are
slides,
scanned with a Minolta Scan Speed film scanner (and VueScan © ) and processed for the web
afterwards. More recent pictures are digital.
Most b/w portraits are made on
35 mm film, scanned from the negative or the print. Some recent
portraits have been converted from a digital image.
Image processing is done with Picture Window Pro©, a lesser known but
very powerful photo editor. For those who are interested: have
