About me
This is me,
born in 1974 (yep, that's why...) and since a couple of years I have this passion for photography.
I live in the Netherlands, about 50k north of Amsterdam, in a little village near the sea.
On the left my very first photograph, taken somewhere at the end of the seventies! A portrait of my mother. I was just a little kid, but I remember that I turned the camera at an angle on purpose. Sharpeness could be better though...
My occupation is webdesigner. You can find some examples on the design page. Nice job, but too much behind that screen sometimes.
I would love to combine it a little bit more with photograpy. The perfect live for me would be to travel a lot and capture the world's beauty!
But getting paid projects isn't that easy...
I take my camera almost anywhere - but if I don't I'll regret it!
As you can see on the site, I love to shoot the beauty of nature, but litterly anything is fine.
Please leave a message in my guestbook and if you have any questions, I'll be pleased to answer them!
About my gear
The camera I use is a Canon EOS 20D. A digital camera with 8.2 Mega Pixels, which is enough for good A3 prints.
I usually shoot in full resolution jpg @ best quality.
My all-purpose-lens is a Canon 17-85mm IS USM lens. IS means Image Stabilizer, which in fact will reduce the motionblur at slow shutter-speeds.
USM stands for Ultra Sonic Motor: the AF (AutoFocus) system is driven by a very silent and fast motor. In front of the lens I use a B& UV filter, primairy for protection.
The memorycard will contain up to about 239 images in full resolution, best quality jpg's.
It has a minimum write speed of 9 MB/sec. and a minimum read speed of 10MB/sec.
On my wishlist is a 105 mm macro lens, and a 70-300 IS USM zoom lens.
Ofcourse I would like to carry some "L" lenses, but thats a bit beyond my wallet!

Photo Corrections
Sometimes, you have that almost-perfect image but the colors aren't right. Or there's something on it which shouldn't be there.
Or even a lens flare. Maybe you look gorgious on a picture, except for those red eyes. Or that one spot right in your face...
We'll, you get the point. If there's anything wrong with an image, I can fix it for you!
Even dirt, folding lines, scratches or cracks. And most of the time it will be invisibible!
Have a look at this example.
I can also secure your old printed images by scanning them an save them to a CD.
Some possibilities:
- color corrections or manipulations
- converting color to black and white
- removal of dirt, scratches or cracks
- removal of unwanted objects / people
- red eye reduction, flare reduction
- etc.
