p.1 #1 · A visit in the beautiful Speulderbos (Netherlands)


Recently I managed to visit Speulderbos in Holland, a really special forest from which for instance Albert Dros gets many of his great photos.
The weather unfortunately wasn't very cooperative - no fog, no nice morning light, just dark and overcast -, and fall colors hadn't arrived yet although it was mid-October.

When I shot image #1 and #3, it was VERY dark there, so I decided to use my recently acquired Viltrox 85mm f1.4 Pro and shoot wide open - I found that the shallow depth of field added threedimensionality and "mysteriousness" in a really nice way.

Image #4: At one spot in the midst of the forest there is a plantation of Thuja Plicata trees which is totally out of character with the rest of the area, but looks interesting nevertheless.

Nice work - #1 for me, the selective focus on the stump really works.

These are magical. Each one brings its own contribution to the set.

Thank you very much for your warm words.

Unfortunately I was hindered by circumstances to go out on photo trips as planned in the last few months. The icing on the cake was that I broke both my arms by a bicycle accident 3 weeks ago. Now I can't go out with the camera for at least 2 months...

Oh man! That sounds bad. Hope you heal up well and quickly.
