Last week I visited Dierenpark Amersfoort. They have some of my favorite animals and birds. I love the huge cage for birds. A flight cage where huge birds like griffon vultures, white pelicans and marabou’s can swim, walk and fly. And the wonderful thing is, that you can go inside and make photos face to READ MORE
Year: 2019
“Painterly” Action Set from Adobe Create Magazine
Sharing a post with a lot of photos. Edits of photos I made in 2019. I’m sharing this many to show how I get to one or two very special ones. On December 17 I received the Adobe Creative Magazine in the mail. It’s always full of ideas and often has freebies too. This time READ MORE
Expressions on black
The autumn holiday is over now. I have busy weeks ahead again. I still had time to edit photos in my favorite way. Animal portraits on a black background. The expressions of the animals come out even better, I think. Photos taken in recent months.
Tigers in Naturzoo Rheine
Been on the road for the third time with my new zoom lens, the Tamron SP 150-600mm. And now I am starting to get the hang of it. This time, at Naturzoo in Rheine, I took nice pictures. Finally I was able to take the photos, for which I previously lacked zoom. For example of READ MORE
Monochrome primates
Recently I didn’t have much time to go out and make photos. Today I did have time to edit. So I’m sharing a selection of primates edited in Lightroom, Photoshop and the Silver Efex Pro. I hope you’ll like them.

Bauwi’s family
Gorilla photos I made in Burgers Zoo about 10 days ago. I love gorilla’s and their beautiful expressions. This time I did not edit much on the photos. What I did do is photoshop a wound on Bauwi’s face. I felt is was distracting and since it is not there normally, I could remove it. READ MORE
Such an itch!
Hi, I’m a cute little California sea lion living in ZOOM Erlebniswelt in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. I’m a happy little thing and I’m ready to lie down and relax with my best friend and her mum. There is only one problem. I have an itch! I’m trying really hard to get rid of it. Oh how READ MORE
When a baby dies
Last week I visited Naturzoo Rheine. A wonderful zoo. Not that big, but many beautiful animals that you can see up close. The animals have a lot of space. Nice place to take pictures. It was a nice day, but there was also a sad moment. The sad moment was the sight of a gelada READ MORE
A soft face
After the heat wave it was finally cool today. Great weather to go to a zoo. At ten to nine I stood in front of the Burgers Zoo entrance. Rain was expected in the afternoon, starting early seemed like a good idea. And tit was. It was great weather to be outside. I had some READ MORE
