Imagine a bridge on which you can walk and walk and walk. Without ever reaching the end….
A long exposure of The Infinite Bridge near Aarhus, Denmark. I took a 30 seconds exposure to smooth out the water.

Another Long Exposure of a jetty on the shores of Denmark. This is the same jetty of my previous post “Crabfishing”, slightly after father and daughter photobommed me…
I put the exposure on 30 seconds to completely smooth out the water.

Another Long Exposure on the shores of Denmark. Father and daughter dropped a line to do some fishing; I presume crabfishing. Actually I was all set up to take a long exposure of the jetty when the two showed up and moved in to my frame. For some that would be a pain, for me they formed an extra bonus to the image.

One of the photography techniques I enjoy a lot is Long Exposure. This is a jetty on the shores of Denmark.
Denmark has quite a bathing culture, summer ànd winter. Dipping (or skinny dipping) in the sea and relaxing on the jetty with friends or family is a common sight. Happy me that I chose a jetty to photograph with some people on it moving around a little to give just enough indication they were there.

One of the night time photographs I took on my travels to Malaysia last month.

This is a long exposure taken somewhere outside the city of Tromsø, Norway.

Last week I went to London for a few days to see my good friend David Headley who owns Goldsboro Books in Cecil Court. I had four of my photographs with me which are now on exhibition there.
During one of our evening outings, walking Davids' dog Mia, I took my camera along and decided to take some long exposure with deliberate movement. This is one of the nice photographs that came out of this.
The question is: is this tree being washed away or washed ashore?
On the island of Gili Meno, Indonesia, there is a short stretch of beach where a dozen or so trees seem to be clinging on to life not being able to choose between land or sea. Taking a long exposure results in milky sea and blurred movement of the leaves and branches.
Imagine yourself a solitary mangrove tree a few feet from the shore line, a slowly incoming tide, a clear nightsky with thousands of stars and a building site behind you with a security light aimed straight at your tree. This was the setting for this picture I took somewhere on the northern coast of Bali.
The tree for me symbolizes the struggle that nature has against the encroaching species called humans. Even here on Bali. The fact that only half of the tree has leaves is quite ominous... I imagine that this part of the coast was previously an extensive mangrove forest. Now all is cleared, the beaches and the coral reefs a little further away are used by tourists and the land directly next to the beach is being steadily filled by extensive hotels.
The building site behind me, admittedly convenient for this picture, is a next slice of the cake that is being cut off from the original cake called nature.
A long exposure.
This tree is perhaps one of the 'highlights' of my travels over Bali last month. It is a sad remnant of a mangrove-forest on the northern shores of the island. The beach seemed to be cleared for tourism, as just next to this spot holiday bungalows were being built. I spent a few hours here to take some long exposure pictures of it. This is one from a series I shot in broad daylight. Tomorrow I will post a picture I took at midnight when the tide was out.
Another picture on the theme "Sitting, waiting, fishing". Another long exposure.
On the lake of Danau Beratan, Bali, there is quite some fishing going on. Fishermen not only go out on to the lake in small boats, or fish from jetties (see my previous post), some have also built makeshift seats a few meters from the waters edge like this one. Fish caught is sold at the market just up the road or eaten for dinner.
After a long break, I am back to posting pictures on my blog.
I am just back from extended travels on the island of Bali, Indonesia. With a sidestep to Lombok to climb the Rinjani-volcano (second highest peak in Indonesia at 3.726 meters) and some relaxing on the Gili Meno island just next to Lombok.
We travelled extensively over the island of Bali, escaping most of the intensive tourism that goes on in the south part of the island. I will be posting some of my favorite pictures I took along the way.
This is an image of two boys fishing in the lake of Danau Beratan: one of the lakes on the top of the volcano of Bali. A long expsoure.
A lonesome gondola waiting for the tourist-season. No cars in the city of Venice, Italy. The boat is the way to go. Or your feet.
In the month of January the city is quite calm and quite devoid of tourists. Temperatures are low, however above freezing mostly. And foggy conditions are possible. In other words wonderful weather conditions for interesting photography. On top of that prices are low too. Prices are already on the rise at the moment as the city is 'waking up'. Reasons for me to offer a two-day photography workshop in Venice in the winter 2015/16. Check out my webpage for more information.
Venice, Italy, like you've never seen before, I suppose.
One of the advantages of getting up before dawn in Venice; getting wonderful pictures breathing peace and tranquility out in the lagoon surrounding the city. The other advantage is the sublime soft light of dawn. This is another image in a series of abstracts I made during an intensive four days photography-trip to Venice, Italy.
This image is, as are my previous posts, of fishing nets resting on a construction of poles standing in the middle of the lagoon that surrounds Venice. A perfect subject for a long exposure.
Interested in buying an original print of my work? Many of my images are available. Every image is printed on high-quality paper by a professional company, will be signed by Jos Kuklewski and numbered. If you want a quote of the price, send an email to jos@jkimages.nl

A second image in a series of abstracts I made during an intensive four days photography-trip to Venice, Italy. An amazing, amazing city with loads of (obvious) photo-opportunities, but also loads of unconventional ways of depicting this ancient city and its surroundings.
