I added comments on every image to offer some background. Any observation from your side: more than welcome ☺. Enjoy!
Three activities that have played an important part in my life have come together in this website: photography, web design and my love for English (I'm not trying to be perky here, I chose to translate my website into English as most of my visitors are non-Dutch speaking).
Photography is what makes me tick. I noticed that my work is getting more and more abstract. Inspired by having visited more museums in the past five years than in my entire life? Most certainly. Changed because I am getting older? Definitely.
With techniques such as ICM and blur aided by post-processing I try to make images that are different and grab the attention. If they don't, I am truly sorry. But there's also plenty of tradional photography. Don't worry.
The very same palm I made a Pep Ventosa of, a bit further down this page, this time with a turning movement. Exposure 0.3 sec, F/5.6 @ 300 mm.

Two groups of skaters, one Italian and the other Spanish, having a lot of fun at Reyes. Exposure main image 1/8 sec at F/32 @ 90 mm. See link below for more images.

This is a light ornament in the shape of an igloo for Xmas on the village square, I used a zoom burst and turned the camera at the same time. So thankfully no firecrackers and bazooka bangs, all very silent 😉.

Celebrated my birthday in a quaint village that used to be the former capital to Fuerteventura, having the Iglesia Catedral de Santa Maria de Betancuria as its centre. Exposure of the ICM: 1/6 sec at F22 @ 35 mm.

I am proud to announce that 'The Bee Hotel', shot in Neerijnen, was selected for the final 20 images to be featuring in the Environment section of the 2021 Exhibition initiated by ICM Photo Magazine.

In the strait between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura it's a joy to see so many experienced surfers at work conquering the big waves.

Immensely large, just dunes and sand, tough job to hike with a backpack full of equipment, but ... beautiful. Shutter speed 1.5 sec, F/38, 207 mm, ISO200, waiving movement.

You wouldn't expect stumbling on such modern architecture on an island that has so many derelict building projects. This afternoon I came across this photogenic building. Exposure 0.3 sec at F/45 @ 300 mm.

At the end of the afternoon, there was some interesting light developing. Just checking if this seascape will be a keeper. Exposure 1,5 sec, F/27 at 70 mm for the ICM one, 1/125 at F/16 for the straight one.

Lovely tiny harbour. Owing to a lovely Spanish couple (send me a mail if you want your picture), the port master let me in and I could do some shooting.

'Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee'. It does look like a butterfly, this Strelitzia, but it doesn't fly. Intriguing flower. Exposure 1/6 sec at F4.5 @ 140 mm.

For Xmas and New Year the main square of this quaint fishing village has a light sculpture that I played around with, and turned it into a Euro sign. Hoping that restaurants such as Rámon will be supported by the government in these hard times, because they deserve it.

The village of La Lajita has a pebble beach. Difficult to walk on, impossible to sit down on. But the rocks and pebbles and the rolling waves make a great show. Exposure 1 sec at F/13 @105 mm.

One never ending row of surfers going to Playa del Viejo Rey at the end of the day.

Came across this black beauty called Tao and its very kind owners, tried to capture the dynamics of the dog running into the ocean. Exposure 1/15 sec at F/38 @ 128 mm.

'Pulvar in distress' . Exposure 1/20, F/10 @ 300 mm.

I don't like zoos and I don't like animals in cages, but this one is different. It takes a day if you want to see everything. Stichting AAP has lodged neglected animals here. The savannah with kudu, springbok and zebra is my favourite.

This small town at the east coast of Fuerteventura is investing in culture. This is the facade of the newly built Culture Centre.

This was the feeling I got when I'd made this shot of the boulevard. Made the camera move three times within the 0.7 sec I used as an exposure. F/19 @ 229 mm.

All shades of earth colours can be found back in these hills at Fuerteventura, once active volcanoes.

As if glued to the closest waves, these pulvars were racing to and fro and picking up the tiniest edible things. Exposure of most of them 1/20 sec at F/8 @ 300 mm, 1/10 sec at F/19 @ 300 mm.

Using heavy backlighting, I tried to get an abstracted view of the ocean nearby. I think there is a croc in the top one. Exposure 0,5 sec at F/45 @ 300 mm.

At 25 degrees Celsius and sun all day long it was pretty hot for this time of the year. The coastal line of eastern Fuerteventura as seen from the pebble beach. Exposure 1 sec at F/38 @ 150 mm.

First thing I saw having got out of bed.

Walked across a bridge over a dried up river and saw some really huge bougainvillaes hanging over a fence. The lens I had with me was a bit too short, so I had to make a swift movement upwards and crop this in PS to get rid of the uninteresting parts. Who cares. Exposure 1/30 at F/22 @ 105 mm.

Yes, from time to time I try to make sharp pictures too. This one as the colour struck me at once. No, the window of this century old house is not completely straight. Nothing is.

One of the ICM Facebook communities I post regularly on, Pure ICM, uses challenges twice a week to stimulate the participants to create new material. The admins took a break in September, since October I have been one of the 'picks of the week' 15 times. Yes, I'm proud.

Composite image of the evening light on the hills in Lanzarote, a road and the rear lights of cars passing by. The landscape that I love so much stands for photography. The asphalt is the Fotocafé I'm quitting with. The trails of lights are a symbol for me, exploring new directions within photography. Exposure main image 3.2 sec at F/8 @ 85 mm.

If you have reached this point, you're a real diehard ☺. The menu above leads you to more pages which all have the latest entries at the top.
Below you will find the most recent posts in my Instagram feed (that you can see without an account); clicking will show them in a new window (then you do need an account). To avoid a sloppy presentation in their three-to-a-row grid, I made them them all square. It does feel a bit like a harness. But sometimes I use the concept for a triptych.
Please leave a like or a comment there if an image appeals to you, as you can do using the link in the footer using the review form. I would really appreciate that!
