Johan van der Wielen - nature photography
Een mooie achtergrond van je macro- / detailfoto heeft natuurlijk te maken met de gekozen scherptediepte, denk aan diafragmawaarde, brandpuntsafstand en voorwerpsafstand. Maar dat is niet het enige want er speelt nog een heel ander belangrijk aspect! Het heeft alles te maken met de achtergrond zelf, wat is daar te zien en hoe ver ligt die achter je onderwerp. En hoeveel afstand moet je nou houden tot je achtergrond? Hoe plaats je (onscherpe) elementen. Allemaal vragen die ik ga beantwoorden bij de orchideeën op Schiermonnikoog.

On an early morning...
Afbeelding 1 van 34

If you know me a bit, you know I hate getting up early. I know, the mornings are the most beautiful, but I''m just not the early bird. But this morning, I got up early to spend the morning with my buddy Bjorn van Lieshout. We wondered along the river in my hometown, a lot of mist, a spoonbill gathering and yellow fields of ragwort. It was simply fantastic. I know mornings are the most beautiful, and I really enjoyed ... but I still hate getting up early.

AI: an added value or a detriment to the craft of AI: an added value or a detriment to the craft of photography?

The latest versions of Lightroom and Photoshop are equipped with AI capabilities, as you've probably noticed. The removal tool has also been updated, and thanks to AI, you can now remove even the most difficult elements. I put it to the test with a rather dull and messy photo... the two geese and the spoonbill are nice, but there are a lot of distracting elements around them, including other geese. Within three minutes, I had removed everything, barely visible. The second photo is the original. 

Beautiful? I don't know. Yes, it's impressive, but it does remove the need for field skills. Furthermore, you can easily perfect everything to the point of it becoming unrealistically "beautiful," almost boring. I find myself struggling with the fact that photography is becoming even more about creating stunning images and perfecting them later.

What do you think? I'm curious...

Sunset orchids... I have been so busy editting vi Sunset orchids...

I have been so busy editting videos for customers, that I wasn't able to post pictures from my last weekend photo course on the Waddenisland Schiermonnikoog, almost a month ago. But here I am. Two orchids (marsh orchid and marsh helleborine) in the last light of the setting sun. 

The atmosphere comes from the use of a vintage lens... my favorite one.

On a summers night in the dunes... Although I enj On a summers night in the dunes...

Although I enjoy the presence of noclilucent clouds on a summers night, I'm not happy with picture of just the night. the clouds are beautiftul, but I always try to fit in the beauty of nature into my own creations. Then I saw a great mullein blooming in the sandy dunes of 'my' island of Schiermonnikoog.
