Visual Acoustics VII - Silence and Light - Erasmus Bridge
My last photo of the year, the final version of a photo from which I showed a preview on FB, is a shot of the Erasmus Bridge in Rotterdam in 16:9 format. At the same time, just like with my previous photo releases, I’m sharing a 1 minute video on the creation of this photo that you can see here on Youtube or here on Vimeo
See you all next year with more videos, new projects, new subjects and more news. Happy 2014 and all the best wishes to all of you!

La Défense Study II - Tour EDF, La Défense Paris
As some of you might have noticed my latest 3 or 4 architectural images are different from my previous successful and award winning series from the past few years. Reason: I always try to keep moving, and never stand still, even if it means you have to leave a successful concept.
To quote Mark Twain: to stand still is to fall behind.
I'm not saying I'm going to change and revolutionize the world of architectural fine art photography, absolutely not. I'm just saying I'm changing myself, once again. Subtle but important changes in my view to keep growing and never get bored of myself and my work.
What you see since a few months and what you will see in the future is a combination of the fine art architectural photography I've done for the past few years and the more technical, sterile and conventional architectural photography as we have always known. Changes will grow over time, this photo reflects today's status. If you want to know more and learn about my new architectural direction, my changed artistic approach and much more that keeps the artistic spirit going, then visit our Chicago architectural fine art photography workshop and I will tell you all about it.

La Défense Study I - Tour Total. La Défense, Paris, France - May 2013
I haven't been posting much the last few months, well actually the past 10 months, simply because I've been very busy with… the business of photography! Meaning: workshops, creating (video) tutorials and also taking photos and processing them. I'm working on the ongoing Heart of Darkness series and this new series on Paris with some lesser known buildings with a regular take on it and the familiar buildings with a more unusual take on it. At the same time this is going to be a departure on my usual architectural work, hope you will see the difference already, and else you'll see it when this series progresses which have all been shot with a tilt-shift lens. This specific shot for example would've been impossible to shoot with a normal wide angle lens without any distortion and without leaving out large parts of the subject.
I've noticed that shooting with a T/S lens and Long exposure at the same time causes a considerable amount of light leakage. Remedy: make sure everything is taped or covered, including the lens! (not the glass itself of course)
