Below are pictures I took today, as I was walking home after visiting my mother. These photos were taken with my smartphone on macro mode. Every time I shoot with my cell phone, I am amazed at the details. Superficially, the photos from the mobile are comparable to a DSLR. But when you finish them, READ MORE

On white
Another way of editing photos. I made numerous on a black background. Now “on white”. There is a frame around it with a shadow, because otherwise you can’t see where the photo starts and ends. That’s a problem with the website. That’s why they look a little smaller than you’re used to. Let me know READ MORE
Greylag geese
With every visit to Drostenkamp, you can fully enjoy birds. There are different types of swimming birds, but also robins, finches, magpies, crows, etc. The most common swimming bird is the greylag goose. Reason for making a blog about the greylag geese. It is quite special that so many greylag geese breed in the Netherlands READ MORE
Spring light in Zoom Erlebniswelt
May break, time to visit a zoo again. Because I hate crowds, I went to a German zoo. There is no May break in Germany. It went to ZOOM Erlebniswelt in Gelsenkirchen. A beautiful zoo, where I had already been 2 times before. The weather was perfect. It was wonderfully quiet. I was hoping to READ MORE
Big beaks
Thursday I was in Ouwehands Zoo. I hadn’t been there for a long time. I had never seen the panda bear cub. That is, of course, already very large. I’ve only seen a sleeping hump of black and white hair. As usual, they were asleep. As much as I like Panda bears, they are downright READ MORE
Spring at Drostenkamp ponds
The ponds at Drostenkamp are kind of the “backyard” of the school where I work. How fantastic is that! Many colleagues walk there at lunchtime. The park is full of all kinds of water birds. And now it is full of spring. It is swarming with geese with young. Graylag geese in particular, but Egyptian READ MORE
Cute faces
Another selection of old photos. This time little monkeys with cute faces. I’ve been sick for a week. With all that beautiful weather, I would have loved to go out to photograph. But no, again no. To do something, I edited some photos. Have fun! READ MORE
Penny for your thoughts
Burgers Zoo last Wednesday. The weather was fantastic, perfect for a zoo visit. I got the chance to go, because another appointment was canceled (yes of course, corona). Too bad, but every disadvantage has its advantage. I noticed I haven’t been shooting much with my Tamron 150-600 mm lately. I didn’t react fast enough. Many READ MORE
Modern Utrecht
A day trip to a friend in Utrecht. When I go to a city, nine times out of ten I take the camera. There is plenty to see in Utrecht around Central Station. Many modern buildings. I like to photograph modern architecture. That is quite different from photographing animals, flowers, etc. In fact, I don’t READ MORE
No more lock down
Wednesday it was possible again. Finally on the road again, taking pictures. On the first day I went straight to the Orchideeënhoeve. Enjoy the colours, smells, sounds and warmth. A day in the tropics while it was cold and unpleasant outside. Below I share photos of that day.
