Over the years, I've shot quite a bit on the streets in China; mostly Beijing and Shanghai; the latter one being my favorite mega-city in China. For Street Photography, I always find it amazing how one city is more of a color city while others are clearly Black and White. It probably...
A few years ago, I met Thai photographer, Rammy Narula, who was exhibiting his "Platform 10" work in a gallery in Bangkok. Rammy shot a great body of work during a six month period, at a single platform (nr10) at the Hua Lamphong Railway station. The work...
Last week I picked up a second hand Samyang 8mm f2.8 lens; known as a fish-eye lens it is ultra wide angle lens that produces strong visual distortion. The lens is made specifically for the Fujifilm X-mount and is manually focus only; no big deal as pretty much all is in focus anyway at 8mm focal length! Some people might know...
It seems like ages ago, but when I was still shooting the Nikon system pre-2012, my main three go to lenses were the Nikon 14-24 f2.8, 24-70 f2.8 and 70-200 f2.8. Until recently, Fujifilm had us covered with the "red label" XF 16-50 f2.8 and XF 50-140 f2.8 for...

When the X-T3 (review here) was released 5 months ago, it didn't go unnoticed in the photography community! Personally I believe the X-T3 is probably the best featured...
Cambodia, has been on the list of places to go to for a long time...
My last blogpost was about the 3 week Street Photography challenge I had with the medium format GFX 50R end of last year. If you missed it, please check it out here. When I wrote the post, I did leave one image out on purpose...
During the month of October, I'll be shooting in my favorite three Street Photography cities worldwide! Over the weekend I had the opportunity to shoot in my number one, Tokyo! In a few weeks, I'll be off for a 4 day trip to Istanbul followed by New...
A few weeks ago, I blogged about my visit to Angkor Wat in Pic(k) of the week 48; likely the best known place in Cambodia. What a lot of people don't know, is that Angkor Wat is just a fraction of the Angkor site which covers about 400 square kilometers. From the...
