A large stone arch inside the Evolution House at Kew.
Evolution House at Kew takes visitors on a journey through 3.5 billion years of plant development on earth.
It focuses on the Silurian, Carboniferous and Cretaceous periods, with plants from those times inside.
The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew cover more than 300 acres of land just south of the River Thames, with 33,000 species of plants and trees growing in plantations and glasshouses.
The gardens were created as a pleasure garden by Prince Frederick – eldest son of George II and Queen Caroline – in 1731, but were turned into botanic gardens by his widow Princess Augusta in 1759.
Some of the earliest specimens in the gardens came from the voyages of Captain Cook around the globe and Kew has grown in importance and popularity ever since.
There are a number of large glasshouses recreating environments from all over the world, while the outside gardens are often vast open expanses, broken up by Japanese pagodas, small lakes and walkways high in the trees.

I set out to produce fine art about this subject. I'm never without a camera to shoot so I am constantly shooting and sometimes the pictures are left in my memory and other times they develop into more in-depth ideas and detailed images.
At school, the only class I really paid any attention in was photography. I start to take pictures of ABAC since the first day I entered this university. This is such a wonderful garden for students, the most beautiful campus I have ever been. I know many interesting spot in ABAC to take nice photos, but I'm bored to do that kind pictures.
For this project, I didn't set out to take the most beautiful picture of our University. People already know how nice our campus is. This time, I want to show you the feeling, that how great ABAC is, which is not actually can see through your eyes. I hadn't intended to put any special subject in my works to show you the power of this University, such as prizes, honors. You could feel the power from the pictures themselves.
This work tends to focus on the atmosphere, the evolution of ABAC and its material wealth, the development of bigger and bigger campus. Time keeps passing by, Assumption keeps growing up. I've never liked to explain a certain piece of work - if you've made a picture and that's how you wanted it to be - hopefully it can speak for itself and whatever it says to the viewer - it's the right message because there isn't a wrong and a right message. Each person takes something a little different from the same picture and I'm happy with that.
Though I work quite deliberately, consciously employing both traditional and innovative techniques, my unconscious is the undisputed project manager. All my pictures for this subject is about the time keeps passing. And since I've always been a fan of long exposure, I know exactly what will I get by using a extremely small f-stop. Clouds are flowing, trees are wagging, nothing is still except those giant buildings. Got influences from the great American photographer Ansel Adams, who likely to use the smallest f-stop to shoot landscapes to make everything clear in his photographs. Besides, as I don't really have an F/64 lens, which masters does, I used the infrared filter instead. It works very well and create a much dramatically sky.

Evolution of the power of the most powerful supercomputer from 1940 to 2007.
based on this page on wikipedia
le lines shows the average (sort of) progression over a period.
300 times faster over 20 years (=17 times over 10 years), then 100 times faster over 10 years and now 1000 times faster over 10 years.

Nose detail. Note the finish on top is still bare carbon - and there are no logos yet to be seen.
Tomorrow, I rectify that - and hope to have a finished product by nightfall.
Evolution - Let there be Light. Licht, veel licht was er zeker! Wat een mooie licht- en lasershow. Dat maakt het werk voor partyfotografen leuk en uitdagend :) Behalve mooi licht, werd er ook nog eens top gedraaid. Held van de avond voor mij was toch zeker wel Markus Schulz. Het was voor mij wel even wennen de weg die Tiesto in slaat. Je kunt het mooi vinden of niet, hij blijft zichzelf vernieuwen. Dat was aan de set bij Evolution ook goed te horen. En dat is zeker knap als je al zolang meegaat als Tijs. Al met al een topweekend, met eerst Reloaded..... Dance into the Future en daarna Evolution - Let there be Light. Thx. Radio 538 voor de uitstekende organisatie. Hopelijk krijgt dit initiatief een vervolg volgend jaar.
