Portraits in the rain

“Shall we postpone?” she asked. “The weather forecast is bad. A lot of rain.”
“Let’s just try,” I replied. “It will be dry between showers. And actually I think portraits in the rain are quite special. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll decide on the spot to go again another day.”

We did take some great portrait photos in the sun and in the shade. Then the rain came. And yes, of all these pictures, the ones in the rain are definetely my favorites!

Really happy with the opening today of the exhibition in the St. Aegtenkapel in Amersfoort, the Netherlands, of our photoclub FKE. A bunch of great photographers with so much creativity! Former chairman Rob Renshoff has succeeded in realizing this exhibition – what a succes!

Erotic

So I went into the woods (which is less than five minutes from home) and took this picture of a beech. “Quite erotic,” my girlfriend said when she saw the print. Like bodies in a state of ecstasy.
A real life Rorschach test, this tree!

Sahara dusty sunrise

Geplaatst op door Henk Groenewoud

Every now and again at sunrise I open my curtains and immediately run out. That is: It takes me approximately 5 minutes to tear off my pyjamas, grab my clothes and camera, stumble to the front door and run to the meadows. But even those lousy 5 minutes can be too much, for rapidly the most stunning colours in the sky change to a boring, pale palette. No time to think, just run!


This Monday January 29 I made it. Once again Sahara dust swirled high in the atmosphere, as in March 2022 and February 2021. And like before, the most beautiful colours appeared before the sun peeked above the horizon. Wow!
