This one is a bit older already; not the girl I mean but the shoot. 😉

Funny how you can go back to older shoots and find pictures that should have been published. This one has Nik SilverEfex Pro for postprocessing, a bit of noise, and in fact an inverted vignette in the middle region, which I don’t use much.

Also, I’ve lifted the brightness with a curve so that black is dark gray, and brightness only starts showing at dark gray, so her dress fades off a bit into nothingness. Love the dreamy look of Deirdre.

My girlfriend took this one from me, while we were at Terschelling (one of the islands here in the Netherlands) at the Oerol festival. Near Midsland aan Zee there were around 9 pianos placed on the beach. Most of them were even playable, so that was fun.

Unfortunately the weather was quite rainy, but good enough for this picture. Finally I’m inside one of the photographs on my own site. 😉

Kitchen

This photo of Xenia was made inside her kitchen. The lens was a Sigma 85/1.4 one, which gives nice bokeh. The kitchen was not terribly large, so I had to stand back as far as possible, but I like the 85mm a bit better than the 50mm (Canon 50/1.4).

I used only natural lighting. In a mostly white house this gives very nice soft lighting. The weather wasn’t too sunny, mostly clouds at the time of this shot really. In the Netherlands at this time of year the weather changes quickly all the time.
