Monkey Island

 I have noticed that I like photographing a couple of things best and two of those are people and.... Monkeys. I wonder what the link ;) I have posted quite a lot about portraits and today I will show you the monkeys :D

The photo to the left I took on Peninsular Malaysia and I was just lucky to find such wonderful animals in the middle of the street in  a small village. It was even more amazing to see how the entire pack worked to protect the pack and its babes.

Some Photos, I Think....

There we go boys and girls... Today I am having a little bit of an off day. I had one of the weirdest dreams ever. It was about a terminator kind of post-apocalyptic world and I was in the smack dead middle of it. That brought me a weird waking up.

Flowers

Right.... So yesterday I finally ran out of holiday photos with the favs post. This of course meant that I had to come up with something new. No more digging through old stuff, but instead shooting new pics and for once digitally. I can tell you that it has been a rather long time since I shot and posted digital photos. My baby the D200 was starting to feel neglected. Also the 22" beauty dish arrived today, so playtime. Seeing that my girlfriend to some nice flowers from her new colleagues I decided there was not better thing to shoot.

England - Part 3 - Hastings and such

As I sit in the train writing this blog post I squint to see the beautiful landscape that surrounds my home town. In the rising sun and with a slight mist everything seems to be beautiful. Long shadows, warm tones and incredibly soft light make for a rather beautiful scenery. It all makes me remember England. Although I have to admit that I didn't see many sunrises there, I saw plenty sunsets. I've often listed the many differences and commonalities between England and Netherlands (yes without the THE because it's more correct) and today I can list another which is sort of both. Brighton has amazing sunsets, both Arnhem/Nijmegen has beautiful sunrises. Brighton is great in spring, where Arnhem/Nijmegen is best in fall.

Sadly I won't get out of bed early to catch that light in the morning. In my mind there is no light as beautiful as the darkness in our room during those five extra minutes of sleep. Ah well, I still have the photos of the sunsets in England.
