from "Stray Birds" by Rabindranath Tagore
"Stray birds of summer come to my window
to sing and fly away.
And yellow leaves of autumn,
which have no songs,
flutter and fall there with a sigh.
O troupe of little vagrants of the world,
leave your footprints in my words.
It is the tears of the earth
that keep her smiles in bloom.....
If you shed tears when you miss the sun,
you also miss the stars. .....
Once we dreamt that we were strangers.
We wake up to find that we were dear to each other.
Sorrow is hushed into peace in my heart
like the evening among the silent trees."

So beautiful and in love. This nice couple was seen in a beautiful and romantic evening in Rio.
This is just to make soft your heart, just to make better your day.
***
I know that it's so sweet to love you ;
Bitter is to want you only for me ;
What I need is to remind me and see myself ;
Before having you and being yours ;
What did I want ? What I used to do? What else?
Something else I must love !
But what else I just don't know.
"Quis ter os pés no chão
tanto eu abri mão
que hoje eu entendi
sonho não se dá"
Bom dia.
Obrigado.

So much London stuff left from March this year... time flies! :(
This was initially one *VERY* misty morning, teaming up with Scott Wilson (check him out) around 6 'o' clock in the morning - I was already physically devastated in the first few days of my week in London. :)
This was a bit later on, when the sun came up and the mist started to fade, giving this peachy glow all over the place.
Nice mist in the morning but terrible harsh light and hazy horizons during the day - I hate it with a passion.

Hi there, updating my photostream with new shots from my archive. So many pix, so little time.
Looking for a nice place to visit? Go to the Basque Country. Highly recommended. Enjoy, happy shooting!

Went out to enjoy blue hour. Not a brilliant choice.
The Erasmusbrug (Erasmus bridge) - The Swan - is 25 years 'old'. I live exactly 25 years in Rotterdam right now - so I thought it would be nice to celebrate it with a visit. Nothing spectacular.
Oh yeah, the new tower in the back is 215 meters tall, a new Dutch Record. Happy shooting! :)

Leuk verhaal! - denk ik :)
Weeralarm, code rood en ik ga de Euromast op. Gewoon doen, dacht ik. Naar adem happend tegen de wind in, je kon bijna niet heen en weer lopen op het platform - zo hard waaide het. De mast stond te trillen en te beven - en ik dacht maar een ding: naar beneden! Maar het natuurgeweld was TE prachtig, met fantastisch licht en wolkenpartijen. Ik heb dus doorgebeten en een flink aantal platen kunnen schieten. Gelukkig maar!
Vanochtend was deze foto "Trending Topic" op Twitter, honderden keren geretweet en gefaved en waanzinnig veel enthousiaste reacties. RTV Rijnmond weerman Ed Aldus pikte de foto op, en vroeg of 'ie hem in de uitzending mocht gebruiken.
Klik hier voor de uitzending (eerste 40 seconden!) - teveel eer hoor! :)
Single shot, geen fancy processing, alleen de voorgrond wat moeten 'oplichten'.
Nikon D700 met Nikkor 24mm f/2.8, volgens mij had ik m'n ND grad filter hier zojuist verwijderd. ISO 100, f/16, 1/60e - long exposures zaten er niet in! Zelfs niet met m'n nieuwe 'betonnen' Benro statief van 3kg! :) Als ik haar had gehad, dan zat het nu nog in de war!
[English]
Weather alarm, code red and I decided to climb the Euromast, our local tourist trap (185m height). A terrifying experience, felt like being blown off the platform (at 96m), but a smashing sight with fantastic clouds and light at the same time. Really frightened and desperate to escape to the elevators, but I knew I *had to* shoot the whole fabulous sight and experience.
Glad I did, trending topic on Twitter today, even made it to the local weather news. "Best picture so far, this year" said Ed Aldus, the weather man. Too much honour, but it made it all worthwhile!

Ik wilde eigenlijk doorrijden naar huis, maar bedacht me. Na m'n foto opdracht voor KMG Europe vorig jaar (mei 2011) trok de 'Mission Space' toch weer mijn aandacht!
Erg gaaf, KMG gebruikte mijn foto om 'm op te blazen tot 6 meter (!!!) tbv een kermisbeurs in London. :)
[English]
I wanted to go home, but the "Mission Space" ride pulled me towards the fairground. I shot it as part of an assignment for KMG Europe back in 2011, and at 80m height it's an impressive sight.
Pretty cool fact: KMG used my photo blown up to 6 meters (20 ft.) for an exhibition in London!

Hi folks,
ik liep gisteravond zo'n 3 km alleen en in het aardedonker over een kronkelpaadje door het bos om deze plaat te kunnen schieten - was ff spannend - want ook nog in een 'restricted access zone', dus geen mobiel aan, maar absoluut de moeite waard.
Voor de outsiders: Dit is het Westerbork Synthese Radio Telescoop (WSRT), van Astron, één van de grootste radiotelescopen in de wereld. In dit Drentse landschap staan maar liefst 14 schotels opgesteld met een diameter van 25 meter elk.
De sterrenhemel - die krijg je zo 'ech nie' te zien in Rotterdam - maakt de sfeer helemaal compleet, wat mij betreft. - Enjoy!
Tips voor de sterren (voor de startert)
Als eerste: maak dat je wegkomt uit stedelijk gebied, en mik op een heldere avond.
1. Statief en timer (duh!)
2. Groothoek < 35mm, want zoveel mogelijk sterren vangen.
3. Schieten op stand M.
4. Diafragma zo wijd mogen open - liefst met een lichtsterke (prime) lens - idealiter op f/2.8. Let wel op je focus (oneindig kan beste optie zijn).
5. Sluitertijd korter dan 30 seconden, als je tenminste niet wilt dat de sterren strepen gaan trekken. Max 20s werkt goed.
6. Om zoveel mogelijk licht in korte tijd binnen te krijgen jaag je de ISO omhoog - afhankelijk van je diafragma en gekozen sluitertijd. Begin bij ISO1600, en wanneer nodig gerust tot ISO3200 (of hoger), zeker als je een FX sensor hebt.
7. Geniet van de sterren!

2nd "Mission Space" session. This is some sort of funfair panorama. :)
Do you know how hard it was to get a picture with all the rides in full fledge?
It took patience plus (long live) the bulb function on my camera. :)

This shot has a nice story to it.
When my younger brother died in a car crash back in 2011, I got an overwhelming warm response on Flickr. While I was in the process of dealing with it I got a remarkable heartwarming letter from Alexander Elzinga, a Dutchman living a quiet life with his wife for decades in the south of France. At the funeral I read part of his emphatic message to my family.
From where I live, the Ardeche is not around the corner. So we corresponded frequently, but I thought we'd probably never meet IRL (in real life). But... early 2014 we were planning our summer vacation, and my family agreed to go and explore the Ardeche!
On August 10, without prior notice, I knocked on his door in his tiny, tiny village Saint-Étienne-de-Boulogne. - Une grande réunion! - Hugs and smiles all over the place. Later that week we were warmly received for dinner with my whole family, and a hike around town. Plus we went out for an evening/night shoot over at the Pont d'Arc - which was a fantastic experience!
I'm far from a true (nature) landscaper, but there I was, standing in the river with my tripod, battling mosquitos, avoiding bats - oh wait, I *thought* I had to avoid them! Later on in the dark, *pitch* black, star trails, along a swirling river, waving our torches, unforgettable memories.
Je suis reconnaissant et fier que j'ai un véritable ami en Ardèche. Merci Alexander, merci Dadou. Merci Flickr.

Two. Million. Views. It's amazing.
Thanks so much for viewing, faving and commenting on my work, the past 3,5 years - it's incredibly appreciated. Without exaggerating I wouldn't be where I was now, if it wasn't for the Flickr community, the feedback and the mutual inspiration and all that. I've met a whole bunch of amazing photographers around here who do smashing, inspirational stuff. Thank you all.
Oh btw, I'm hopeless. I know. For almost a year now I've been neglecting Flickr and most of my contacts here. That's terrible. My attention shifted towards other responsibilities, work and different social channels - most notably www.twitter.com/zzapback. Sorry for that, I'm not *really* showing my appreciation lately for what you all brought me, I'm afraid.
Win a large print
To make it up - a little! - I'm promising once again to come back to Flickr *cough* and be a bit more active over here AND... I'll throw in a large (60x45cm) high quality print of one of my most popular shots, and raffle it among the ones who favourite this post. Hope you like the idea?

Nifty clouds so I got my camera out, while on the bike from the south of Rotterdam to the north.
Nothing spectacular, plus a composition error (spot it) which occurred while levelling the images, gngh! Have a lovely day today.

Two weeks to go... first exhibition. :)
Busy, busy, terribly busy with all the preparations - all fun though! Sorry for the neglect, I'll be back!
June 2012
Tired and not *very* inspired! It was a split second decision - jumping off the bike when entering the scene - to shoot it with a ND110 filter, just in time... 30 seconds. Have a nice weekend. :)

HEF experience
Afgelopen woensdag (26/11/2012) werden er 32 stadsinitiatiefen gepresenteerd in het Stadhuis aan de Coolsingel, Rotterdam. Mijn favoriet is de "Hef Experience" van architect Robbert Dommisse.
De stichting Hef Experience zet zich in om "de Hef" te herbestemmen als een publiek toegankelijk monument en een toeristische attractie van kaliber.
Over de foto
Vanaf statief, laagste ISO, knijpen met diafragma om bij daglicht (zonder ND filter) zoveel mogelijk bewegingssnelheid te vangen - dit is 1/8 seconde en ik had mazzel met 3 snelle fietsers.

The mono version is a Facebook *exclusive* >> Check it out!
This is just a fun shot, nothing *serious*. :)
Wereldhavendagen (World Port Days) and Monument day on the same day. For one euro you could visit the rooftop of the oldest skyscraper of Rotterdam. Terribly harsh light, flagpoles and flags, huge logos all over the place... I decided to stop shooting around them like everybody else was doing, hehe.
So I went for the in your face HDR look and feel (5 shots), with all the distortion and everything that's wrong with it... aah, like a breath of fresh air ;-) Enjoy!
