Sold.

Just a couple of days ago I posted that I had my “Purple Hibiscus” accepted at the iStockphoto Vetta collection. Well, what do you know. Already sold it once. Not bad, I’ll have to look for similar images.

This week we went to the beautiful island Schiermonnikoog for a day. This lighthouse is one of the landmarks of the island. I could not resist to take some pictures. This image can also be found in my Landscape gallery and at Istockphoto. Just click on the image for a bigger view.

Isn't that nice! This photo, Purple Hibiscus, has been accepted to the Vetta collection of iStockphoto. This is my first attempt to see if I could meet the high standards of Vetta and to my suprise it is in the collection now. Want to see my photo at iStockphoto? Click here

IFKS sailing regatta

Jan — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 21:42:39 +0000

I had the luck to be a day at a sailing regatta with old dutch sailing ships. They call it Skutsjesilen and it takes place in Friesland. It's a regatta taking place once a year during a whole week. I was on board of the former rescue vessel Knokkels which was acting as guard and starting ship and so had the great opportunity to make some close-up images. The Knokkels is owned by the nautical education institution TON. To see more of these photos please click on the following link: IFKS images

HDR Tonemap test

Testing tonemapping on my car.

The nice thing about this is that it is not a real HDR image but only a tonemapped image. The software I used for this was Bibble 5, qtpfsgui and Photoshop CS4.

Oh, and by the way Photoshop is running on Linux thanks to Wine.
