about

Living in Flanders, working as a consultant, with photography as an area of interest. I do not pursue a single topic, but instead explore a range of subjects that interest me. The pictures shown here represent a mosaic pulled from several decades.

Landscape photos are often captured during hikes and treks, and sometimes taken with modest equipment such as a point & shoot, a phone, or even an APS or disposable camera. This limits dynamic range, noise control and sharpness, but I enjoy post-processing and can often recover detail and contrast in Lightroom and Topaz.

Street and city photos form a mixed set: people and buildings, colour and B&W, taken with anything from point & shoot to M4/3 or full-frame. I also make frequent use of my collection of vintage lenses. 

For macro photos, I use a lightweight handheld Olympus set-up, mostly in full manual mode. My workflow runs through Photoshop and Camera Raw, then Topaz, with final adjustments in Lightroom. I keep focus stacking minimal, usually a few frames around the eyes. All images are field shots of live animals; no staged or preserved specimens. For identification, I use ObsIdentify.

Nature photos include animals, birds, plants and flowers. This is an occasional area of activity, and many subjects work well with vintage lenses.

Synthetic images are generated with Midjourney. They serve as a creative outlet for ideas, and are shared mainly on Reddit.
