Impressions from the area we live in. Most of the time it is lazy photography, just opening the window and shoot the willows in front of our house, or make an image of the tall trees along the country lane that runs near.
Willow across my office. Exposure 1 sec @ F/22 @ 95 mm.

Yes, I'm 'into trees' at the moment. Can't help it. Exposure 4 sec @ F/16, 83 mm, 6-stopper. Movement going upwards and then holding still.

The green of the trees is getting dominant in nature now. I tried to go after the pastel water colourish tones and get an impressionist image. Exposure 2 sec @ F/27, 70-300 mm @ 300 mm, movement upwards with a light glide to the left.

For just a few minutes, the sun appeared from behind the clouds after a day of rain, thunder and lots of cloud. Straight out of the camera using a jiggly upward movement, 4 sec, F/11, 24-105 mm @ 34 mm, H&Y 64 (6 stopper).

I pushed it one step further: moving the camera up and then making a U-shaped movement from left to right to cover the crown of the tree. Settings: 4 sec, F/16, 24-105 mm @ 105 mm, full frame, ISO200, IS disabled, handheld, H&Y filter ND64 & ND8.

From a slightly different angle earlier in the day, this is the same ditch with buttercups as the one above, the movement was different though: 1,5 sec upwards twice stopping during exposure.

I combined a sharp image of the road near Est with an ICM version of 1 sec with an upward movement halting half way for a short moment.

A different approach: the river Waal, though meandering beautifully through a gorgeous river landscape, is at the same time a sleeping giant: it scared the h*ll out of us when we, together with 250,000 people, had to leave our house in January 1995 at a few hours' notice as the dyke was about to break. Hence the somewhat uncanny atmosphere I tried to create. 7th place at Fotocafé Zaltbommel.

It's a slow spring and it will take a few more weeks before these willows will carry leaves. 1 sec @ F/19.

An abstract image shot during a walk along a lovely footpath around a well at the 'Steendert'.

I don't know enough about willows, but I have never seen branches this yellow before. They made me park on the grass and I tried to catch them.
