Huizen

It has been a long time since I did some architectural photography. Today was a brilliant day to do some photographs of these buildings on the border of the Gooimeer in Huizen, Netherlands. The weather was deadcalm and there was a bright sun in the southern sky. To make the water even smoother and to 'get rid of' the ducks and geese bobbing around on the water, I did a very long exposure of around 4 minutes using a ND-filter to let the light slowly seep into the camera-lens.

The only photoshop here is some slight sharpening of the architecture and removal of two dust spots.

Like many of my photographs this image is available in print. For information on any work, drop me a line at jos@jkimages.nl

 

Camouflage

Copenhagen skies.

 

I just returned from a trip to Copenhagen, Denmark.

Once in a while I like to pop in a picture I took with my smartphone, just to show you that you can also take cool pictures with one. I call it my smartphonology.

During a walk to dinner at our friends' place we passed one of the modern buildings just outside the old city centre where the cloudy sky wonderfully reflected in the glass facade. I love looking for exceptional views and angles and what could be better than this?

What's up? (The cistern: II)

Solitary confinement in an ancient cistern where the floor is covered with a layer of water can play tricks on your mind.......

Another image from this magnificent building in the old part of El Jadida, Morocco.

This picture, as many of my other pictures, is available in print. If you are interested, you may send me a message

The cistern

In the heart of the old fort of El Jadida, Morocco is an ancient building erected by the Portuguese in the 16th century. Originally designed as an arsenal, it was later converted into a cistern. Today a  thin layer of water is maintained on the floor of the cistern to create the wonderful reflections and play of light.

Hong Kong

The view from my hotel room (i.e. cubicle) when I was in Hong Kong for a few days after finishing a photography assignment in China some time ago.

A fascinating city, to say the least. And a brilliant place to roam about, to soak in the atmosphere and do street- and archtectural photography.

This shot was actually taken with my smartphone pressed flat against the window of my room.
