Abstract impressions

Posted on July 30, 2018March 1, 2024 by Anja Wessels

Summer break, so time to play! 🙂 Playing with photos and Photoshop. A while ago I bought a number of “actions” for Photoshop. An action is an automated number of actions performed by the program. Goal is a beautiful image. This action is called Abstract impressions. If you’ve used it, your image is a big READ MORE

Flowers have company

Posted on July 24, 2018March 1, 2024 by Anja Wessels

We have a heat wave in the Netherlands. I am not a fan of very high temperatures. It is vacation, so I give myself a tropical roster. Getting up early (around 5:30 a.m.), afternoon siesta with afternoon nap and to bed late at night. It is wonderful to go outside early with the camera. Yesterday READ MORE

Alstroemeria

This morning I got up early to go to Fortmond. One of my favorite places along the IJssel. A little disappointed I came home again. I was hoping to shoot some butterflies, but there were only a few of them and I could not take pictures of them. Everything is so dry and brown. If READ MORE

Black and white stripes

Vacation time, so time for playing with Photoshop and and photos of my favorite animals. In addition to primates and large birds, the big cats also belong to my favorite subjects. They can look very sweet and calm and very fierce and threatening. Lately I did not do a lot of “on black” edits. Cats READ MORE

This year I bought a subscription for the Apenheul. That is the third time now. I also skipped a year, but keep going there again and again. In the past 4, 5 years I have taken many photos. Also many of birds. For the first time I also photographed one of the free flying macaws READ MORE

Twins

It was national news: twins born in the Apenheul. Golden lion tamarins. Wow! I did not expect to see them, but I did see them. The family runs around freely in the park and is very visible. So sweet! Making good pictures of it is not easy. It would be nice to see two cups READ MORE

My stick

Posted on July 7, 2018March 1, 2024 by Anja Wessels

In the last 10 days I have been in the Apenheul twice. At home I noticed that I had made many photos of monkeys with a stick. Sticks to eat or to use. I immediately thought back to photos I made in 2014 in the Apenheul. With gorillas using a stick to lean on. Time READ MORE

Lemurs

Posted on July 1, 2018March 1, 2024 by Anja Wessels

The lemurs are a family of primates that only live on Madagascar and nearby islands. In recent years I have been to the Apenheul many times and have photographed all the leur species they have. There are 8 species in the Apenheul. 5 of them roam free in the park. 3 types are behind glass. READ MORE
