On a beautiful like today, Labor day, a perfect day to practice with my Macro lens taking close up pictures of the insects in our garden. And since the Mint has plenty of blossom, there are bee's flying off and on to grab the honey out of the flowers.
See here the results of around 100 shots with my Canon 100mm f/2.8 lens, taken with a Canon 5D.

My last day in Sydney Australia, and it’s a full moon. So no better chance of taking some nice night pictures from the Sydney Skyline, the full moon above the Opera House, or the Harbour Bridge.
Full Moon over the Opera House
Although it was cloudy, the moon peeked through the clouds once in a while, and made a really nice light effect on the water.
Harbour Bridge at Night
From across the harbor, you have a good view to shoot a nice panorama picture of the Harbour Bridge.
Sydney Skyline at night
The Sunset over Sydney was wonderful. Unfortunately I was late for the sunrise as it is also pretty spectacular to see the sun rise above the Opera House. Next time maybe….

Around 8 months ago, I came across a picture on Flickr I really liked. The picture was showing an almost perfect reflection of a couple of houses on the hood of a Porsche. You can see the picture here on the right, which is published under creative commons on Flickr. Source: fs999.
I always like to make reflection photo’s myself, which is among the reasons why this Porsche picture is one of my favorites on flickr. Today, I was able to make a somewhat similar photo of reflections of a building in San Francisco not on a Porsche, but on a black Ferrari. Quite cool I would say!
The Ferrari was parked on Powel street, in front of the St Francis Drake hotel in San Francisco.
On Twitter, the short code for a quote you overheard is OH. There are two quotes I recently heard I would like to give a longer lasting attention then just a Tweet: Let the Dataset change your Mindset And seen on some toilet art Women like silent men. They believe they are listening.
It’s October, which means you can shoot wonderful sunset pictures and work on these to get some nice color in the sunset through post processing. Here are just two of my last shots which I made on Friday October 1st, bottom picture, and today October 2nd, the top picture. The top one is made with [...]
Tonight I got the chance of shooting some macro pictures of a Grasshopper sitting on our kitchen window. I needed to shoot the pictures with a flash because I had no time to set up a tripod as I was afraid the grasshopper would fly away. Last time, I was too late, so I didn’t [...]
Four years ago, when I left The Netherlands to move to the US, I hardly took any time to sufficiently clean up all my old mess. In just two weeks I moved the majority of my stuff onto a boat to be shipped for the US. I left a bunch of old stuff in the [...]
Last weekend I checked the lavender plants in front of our house. It was a busy come and go of the bees collecting honey. Dozens of worker bees were flying between the purple flowers to suck the nectar out of the flowers. I decided it was time for me to try to make some close [...]
