Tuesday I was in a zoo for the first time in 2 months. It was Allwetterzoo in Munster. A beautiful zoo with many species. It was a beautiful day and there was a surprise for me. There were 4 beautiful Siberian tiger cubs. Last year I went to a certain zoo 3 times, without being READ MORE

Going full circle
Early 2011 I started taking pictures. Not with an SLR camera yet. I only bought my first one in December 2012. Up until then, I went for walks with a mobile phone and a very small digital camera. I can recommend everyone to start taking pictures that way. You start by learning to look, looking READ MORE
A barbary macaque family
Yesterday the weather was perfect for a visit to the Apenheul. Since I had a day off, there was nothing to stop me from going. I enjoyed it again. This time the area of the Barbary macaques was open. Last time it wasn’t and that makes a huge difference when taking pictures. It gave me READ MORE
King colobus
Since last year, there is a new area with free-range monkeys in the Apenheul. The Apenheul is one of my favourite places to take pictures. The fact that the monkeys have a lot of space and walk and climb freely in the park for a large part, means that you can see them with natural READ MORE
A strong lady
May holidays and nice weather, time for a visit to a zoo. Of course in Germany, because they don’t have holidays there. I choose Allwetterzoo in Münster. It was wonderful. Very quiet, because it was just far enough across the border not to bump into half of the Netherlands. And I saw beautiful things and READ MORE
Sharp en blurry
Pantropica is the new name for the Orchideeen Hoeve in Luttelgeest. And it’s good that there is a new name. The old name no longer covered the meaning of the park for a long time. So much has been added. There are more and more animals and also more and more beautiful birds. So on READ MORE
Ouwehand in close up
A new blog after months. Photos taken during a visit to Ouwehands Zoo. In between I have been to Burgers zoo and the Orchid farm, or Pantropica as it is now called. I didn’t have time to really do anything with the photos. I hope to catch up on that soon. What struck me again READ MORE
Faces in Beekse Bergen
Last Friday we enjoyed a beautiful late summer day in Safaripark Beekse Bergen. As always, I photographed lots of animals. Below is an impression of what I saw. These photos were taken here:
A picking bouquet
During the summer holidays, I restored the photography cube. It was still in the guest room, but it was full of all kinds of things that I wanted to photograph. In that cube, you can play with light and place different backgrounds.
AI & me
Months ago I announced that I would be sharing a new AI experiment. That took much longer than intended. Now the time has come. Below you will find images that are a combination of a photo by me and an AI background. I always share the unedited photos, followed by the composite. A composite is READ MORE
