Dark at four fifteen

London, Nov 2012. As the days get shorter, it becomes more of a challenge to get to places in time before darkness. But then, how about the moment when dark grey changes into dark black...

Raindrops on my window

London, Nov 2012. It did not stop raining all day. And then, when it was already night, I could suddendly see the beauty of it. There on the window, catching the reflection of the street light they were, for a brief moment only ... so beautiful, so delicate ...

Moments

London, Nov 2012. This week I was left with the question "What makes a good photo?" Challenged by that question I continue wondering about the border between abstract and representative image.

Going light

London, Nov 2012. Inspired by a photo competition I saw in Fotohits' October edition, and getting slightly fed up with that dull pre-winter weather, I thought I'll have a go at lightening things up.

Photo or art?

You may wonder. But there was no Photoshoping involved. Only photo post-processing with the usual tools.

Garden visitors

London, Nov 2012. This is the time of year when spiders seem to set up webs everywhere. Walking by this little fellow I could not resist the temptation the come up close.

Amsterdam

Amsterdam, Nov 2012. Looking at autumn colours from another angle in another city. Amsterdam seemed to come alive with the warm tone of autumn leaves and sun giving the city a bit of a golden glimmer.

Sunset

Nov 2012.  Catching the sun just before disappearing into the clouds, I wanted to illustrade the wonder and romance of the last moment of light before the darkness of the night sets in.

Before dark

London, Nov 2012. The moment when the darkness sets in and the electrical lights come on. The vision seems a bit blurred, the moment of change between day and night ...

Another day in London

London, Nov 2012. Irresistable. Another walk across Hungerford Bridge and another photo of London's skyline. So familiar and never quite the same.

Fall

London, Nov 2012. Standing under the tree and with the wind catching the leaves, it looked as if the leaves were coming towards me and I suddendly realized why autumn was called 'Fall'.

Change of season

London, Nov 2012. Inspired by a gloriously cold sunny morning, I looked for some inspiration amongst the ordinary, every day scenery around me.

Street art

London, November 2012. Wandering around London looking at street art, I wondered about different ways to take a photo. In this image I played with the duality of the picture showing more than one image challenging our perception of reality and imagination.

London

October 2012. Westminster in the light of the sun setting. Celebrating the city. This is one of these photos when I was in the right place at the right time and the inspiration came in the light of the moment.

Night glitter

London, October 2012. Traveling on the DLR I knew I had to come back to Canary Wharf in the dark hours to take a 'closer look' at the impression the light within the buildings made against the dark of the night.
