<p><strong>A few weeks ago I was asked to setup a showcase series with my favorite wintersports photos for the popular <a href="http://www.tacky.nl/snowboard/imagecollection/default.aspx?&#038;id=16670&#038;img=1#imagestart">Tacky</a> website. But as they have a strict policy of not showing ski-photos, which I love taking, I decided to upload the whole series of 44 images onto my own website too. I&#8217;m a wintersports photographer in a broad sense, I hope this shows a bit of what I love doing so much and why. It&#8217;s a story into my work, I hope you enjoy it!

<p>Exactly a year ago I set out on a trip to two small islands near the Northern coast of Holland; Schiermonnikoog &amp; Vlieland. As most people know, cycling is hugely popular in our country and these two islands are no different. So I went out for a week to produce an article and photos for the cycling special of ANWB REIZEN Magazine, a very popular travel publication. I hadn&#8217;t been to the islands sinds I was a high-school kid, aeons ago, and boy was I in for a treat. Some nice autumn weather, windy but not cold and the occasional raindrop just suited things perfectly. Autumn set in late that year so there were still loads of colored leaves on the trees.</p>
<p><a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Large" title="Bikers heading back to the forest (Vlieland)" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rud-gr/5904532415/"><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5115/5904532415_fe99bdd78e_b.jpg" alt="Bikers heading back to the forest (Vlieland)" width="1024" height="683" /></a></p>
<p>Just the small scale of both islands, their loveliness and abundant nature will have me come back again very soon. I guess I have re-fallen in love again with the place. The feeling of being able to cycle around an island in an hour, or two for Vlieland, is just too good to be true. Add, centuries old houses and miles of unspoilt beaches and not too many tourists and you&#8217;ll see what I mean.</p>

<p>Below is the article, in Dutch, for those of you planning to go any time soon. Enjoy!<br />

<strong>Klein maar fijn, fietsen op Schiermonnikoog en Vlieland</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rud-gr/5131457778/" title="Classic Dutch view by Rud-gr, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1166/5131457778_5d966aecbd_b.jpg" width="1024" height="683" alt="Classic Dutch view"></a></p>
<p><em>Twee grote bruine ogen kijken me aan. Heel even maar, in een mum zijn ze weer verdwenen. Een wijder wordend kringetje in het water herinnert aan het vlugge oogcontact. De veerboot is nog geen tien stappen achter me en de eerste zeehond is al een feit. Boten, zout water, duinen en polders; dat kan maar één ding beteken: we zijn op de Waddeneilanden, de twee kleinste om precies te zijn en de beste manier om die te verkennen is op de fiets natuurlijk.</em></p>
<p><strong>Schiermonnikoog</strong></p>
<p>Het is net alsof ik weer terug ben in mijn jeugd, Schiermonnikoog, of “Schier” zoals ze liefkozend genoemd dient te worden is dromen van de tijd dat je er nog op uit trok met je eigen ouders. Lekker op de fiets, trots meetrappend met pa en ma, de eindeloze wegen van het eiland doorploeterend. Nu, dan wel eindeloos als in een kinderherinnering want de kleinste van de Waddeneilanden fiets je probleemloos in anderhalf uur rondom. Dat is trouwens vooral omdat meer dan de helft van de eiland niet per normale fiets toegankelijk is vanwege het tij. Waar je ook gaat of staat, het strand is nooit meer dan tien minuten weg.</p>
<p>Niet dat die tien minuten zo belangrijk zijn, het woordje “haast” is hier een beetje een vies woord. Naar Schier ga je voor rust, een beetje terug in de tijd zonder al te veel afleiding, meer dan strand, natuur, een ruime handvol eetgelegenheden en één supermarkt is er simpelweg niet. Een autoluw natuurgebied, dat is het in een notendop.<br />
Dat er zo veel natuur op zo’n klein stukje land te vinden is weten vogels al lang, het eiland barst in het najaar van overwinteraars, doortrekkers en in schutkleur geklede vogelfotografen met indrukwekkende lenzen en verrekijkers.</p>
<p>Bos, duin, polder en het altijd dominant aanwezige zeewater maken er een spelletje van om elke kilometer weer een heel ander landschap tevoorschijn te toveren; waar we het ene moment tussen de berken en naaldbomen fietsen zo trappen we minuten later vol tegen de wind door de duinen richting strand, weilanden vol met ganzen en andere vogels achter ons latend. Echt een eiland voor families, met korte afstanden voor de kinderen en het strand praktisch altijd binnen handbereik, één ding is echter zeker: zonder fiets kom je hier bijna nergens.</p>

<p><strong>Vijf dingen die je gezien of gedaan moet hebben:</strong><br />
- Geen Waddeneiland is compleet zonder een bezoek aan strand en wad. Een waddentocht kan je al doen vanaf een uurtje of twee maar ook heel leuk en anders is de Jutterstocht. Jutter Bart, voormalig leraar, wereldreiziger en vakkenvuller, vertelt voluit over wat er allemaal op het strand aanspoelt en hoe het jutten vroeger en nu ging. Daarna lekker zelf op pad om te kijken wat er allemaal tussen het zand ligt. Briljant voor de kinderen maar ook voor volwassenen meer dan leuk. Niet vergeten mee te nemen: de strandkoeken van Bakkerij Schuthof (Middenstreek 11). Dit meer dan honderd jaar oude recept is uniek op de Waddeneilanden.<br />
- Wat doe je op een eiland met lichamen die aanspoelden in de loop der jaren. Juist, de tilt ze over de duinen en begraaft ze. Zo ontstond begin vorige eeuw ook de kleine begraafplaats Vredenhof waar militairen ongeacht rang of afkomst bij elkaar werden begraven. Zoals bijvoorbeeld slachtoffers van Duinkerken, die zes weken later aanspoelden op het eiland. Sommigen na jaren en DNA onderzoek gerepatrieerd, de overigen nog steeds daar, met de tekst “known to God”. Indrukwekkend.<br />
- Thijs de Boer was veertien toen hij zijn schelpenverzameling begon op het eiland. Inmiddels een zestiger, is zijn collectie licht uit de hand gelopen maar zijn Schelpenmuseum Paal 14 (toegang: 2 euro) mag er zijn. Met hart en ziel vertelt hij over zijn verzameling en maakt hij jong en oud wegwijs over schelpen, miljoenen jaar oud barnsteen of eeuwen oude houtskool. Absoluut een bezoek waard en de beste plek om je strandvondsten te laten determineren.<br />
- Pas tegen hoog tij gaan zeehonden op jacht naar eten en doordat de vloed hun zandbanken steeds kleiner maakt is dat het beste moment om ze te gaan spotten. Zeker in het (noord)westen heb je veel kans om ze dan te zien. Zoals bijvoorbeeld bij Paal 4, aan het einde van de Badweg (op het eiland gebruikt men palen in plaats van kilometers).<br />
- Een rit naar de Oostpunt.<br />
Het oosten is niet zo maar te bereiken, enige voorbereiding (getijden in de gaten houden!) is een vereiste en ook met de gewone huurfietsen is de tocht niet toegestaan. Wel kan je met de vreselijk toeristische Balgexpress (een glazen huifkar getrokken door een tractor) naar het puntje. Maar goed, voor een blik prachtige natuur moet je wat over hebben.</p>

<p><strong>Fietshuur:</strong><br />
Er zijn drie grote verhuurders op het eiland waar je tot €27 per week betaalt voor een solide fiets met versnellingen. Familiefietsen zoals tandems zijn goed verkrijgbaar maar kunnen in het hoogseizoen beter wel gereserveerd worden. Bij de aanlegsteiger op Schiermonnikoog is ook een verhuur, die richt zich voornamelijk op dagjesmensen.</p>
<p><strong>Hoe kom je er:</strong><br />
De veerboten naar Schiermonnikoog vertrekken vanuit Lauwersoog, Groningen. Gemiddeld vier keer per dag, afhankelijk van het seizoen (www.wpd.nl). Parkeren kan in de aangelegen garage voor 4,50 per dag. Aangekomen op het eiland staan bussen klaar om iedereen naar het dorp te brengen, dit kost 2,50 voor een retourtje maar de strippenkaart is ook geldig. Let op: bij de aanlegsteiger is geen PIN-automaat dus zorg dat je contact geld bij de hand hebt.</p>

<p><strong>Vlieland</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Hoe sterk is de eenzame fietser&#8221;, wat kan je beter neuriën als je daadwerkelijk &#8220;kromgebogen over je stuur tegen de wind&#8221; de duinen van Vlieland doorploetert? De bossen van Oost-Vlieland met al haar kriskras liggende paden zijn al weer een stukje achter mij, lekker uit de wind tussen de herfstkleuren fietsen. Links, rechts, weer eens links want ach, wat maakt het ook uit; lekker op het gevoel er door heen rijden totdat uiteindelijk de duinen weer tevoorschijn komen, zo groot is het tenslotte allemaal niet. Zo lang je maar richting het westen gaat kom je vanzelf uit op de Cranberryvlakte, herkenbaar aan ijverig plukkende families die hier en daar doosjes vol met de kleine besjes weten te vullen. Voor mij uit strekken de duinen zich tot aan de horizon en gezien de tegenwind ben ik nog wel even zoet met dat stukje. Gelukkig zijn de paden mooi en de uitzichten ronduit adembenemend, of zou dat mijn gebrek aan conditie zijn?<br />
Denk je bij Schiermonnikoog aan rust dan is Vlieland in vergelijking behoorlijk bruisend. Een eiland dat eveneens met een overdaad aan natuur en eindeloze uitzichten is begenadigd maar dat ook een beschikt over een nette portie uitgaanspret; campings, restaurants en meer activiteiten dan je vakantiedagen hebt strijden hier om de gunst van de bezoeker zonder dat plat vermaak de boventoon voert. Zodra je het dorp uit bent overheerst de natuur. Vandaar dat ook hier families, met misschien iets oudere kinderen, hier de weg naar toe weten te vinden. De weinige auto&#8217;s zijn voorbehouden aan de bewoners dus even buiten het dorp kom je praktisch geen gemotoriseerd vervoer meer tegen, op de bus na die vooral luie toeristen naar de westkant van het eiland brengt waar ik net heen ben gefietst. Nee, ook hier is de tweewieler het voornaamste vervoersmiddel, met de welbekende ANWB paddenstoelen als bakens. Lekker zelf bepalen wat je wilt gaan zien en trappen maar, een kaart is nergens meer nodig.</p>

<p><strong>Vijf dingen die je gezien of gedaan moet hebben:</strong><br />
- Vlieland schreeuwt er gewoonweg om befietst te worden, liefst met de langst mogelijke omweg die je je maar kan bedenken. Lekker vechten met de straffe tegenwind in het westelijke duingebied of juist heerlijk beschut tussen de bossen in het midden. Één ding is zeker: na een ochtend in de frisse lucht is er niks beter dan een pitstop bij Het Posthuys, lekker bijkomen met een Cranberry pannenkoek van de lokale bessen.<br />
- De stranden in deze noordwestelijke hoek zijn zo&#8217;n beetje de rustigste van het eiland, als je ergens ongestoord kan uitwaaien dan is het hier wel en de enorme &#8220;zandbak&#8221; de Vliehors is hier vlak bij. Door de week oefenterrein van de luchtmacht maar in het weekeinde de plek om de fiets even te verruilen voor de benenwagen en de stevige wandeling te maken naar het reddingshuisje.<br />
- Een bezoek aan het eiland kan niet zonder een uurtje in het bezoekerscentrum. Naast de indrukwekkende walvisskeletten en een uitgebreid aquarium met volop lokale vissen (plus aaibak met kathaaitjes!) is vooral de jutterszolder een feest voor het oog en geest. Echt alles over jutten komt hier aan bod met honderden gevonden voorwerpen, prachtige foto’s en de allermooiste jutverhalen. Als je hier niet met een grote glimlach vandaan komt!<br />
- Slenteren op de Dorpsstraat is één van de beste fietsloze opties van het eiland. De bijna één kilometer lange straat vol winkels en restaurants komt na zonsondergang heerlijk tot leven en alleen al met het kiezen van het juiste restaurant kan je al eindeloos zoet zijn. Perfect voor het flaneren op een lange zomeravond, je waant je bijna ergens in Frankrijk.<br />
- De zonsondergang vanaf de Vuurboetsduin, onder de vuurtoren, is misschien wel de mooiste plek van het eiland om de zon onder te zien gaan met in de verte de noordelijke duinen en de karakteristieke huisjes van het eiland. De 40 meter hoogte hoef je niet met de fiets te doen, er is gelukkig een mooie trap aanwezig. Zomers kan de vuurtoren &#8216;s avonds bezocht worden.</p>

<p><strong>Fietshuur:</strong><br />
Ook hier zijn drie grote verhuurders op het eiland waar je tot €31 per week betaalt voor een solide fiets met versnellingen. Ook hier zijn familiefietsen of mountain bikes goed verkrijgbaar (reserveren in hoogseizoen aangeraden). Veel hotels hebben kortingsacties voor fietshuur. Bij de veerhaven zit al meteen een verhuurder.</p>
<p><strong>Hoe kom je er</strong>:<br />
De veerboten (gewone en snelboten) naar Schiermonnikoog vertrekken vanuit Harlingen Haven (Friesland). De grote luxe veerboot, met internet, brengt je er in een uur of twee. Parkeren kan ter plekke in de garage voor €10,70 per dag of bij het verderop gelegen terrein voor €4,80 (plus eventueel €1,20 p.p. voor de pendeldienst). OP het eiland kom je aan in het dorp zelf.</p>

<p>Photo is one of a series of 5 shots taken with my Canon 1DmkIII and my 70-200 f2.8. To counter the bright light in the back I had set the camera at 1 stop overexposure while keeping at an Av setting of f5.6. With an ISO of 400 this led to a shuttertime of 1/400. Converted to B&#038;W in Photoshop with the black deepened a little bit with the levels tool.</p>

<p>As I just got the go ahead yesterday for a new trip to Oman in April, one of my favorite countries to photograph I though it fitting to finally upload this image. As a billboard, up to 13&#215;7 meters (39&#215;21 ft.), has been running on and off in the Netherlands for quite some time now and it feels amazing to see it along the highway in this incredible huge size.</p>

<p>I took this photo about a year ago while on a trip to Curacao (Dutch Caribbean). It&#8217;s a photo of my sister in law doing a refresher scuba course after not having dived for about ten years.</p>
<p>I really wanted to capture the &#8220;learning&#8221; atmosphere as well as the holiday setting with blue sky and something exotic. The swimming pool of our diving hotel (<a href="http://www.habitatcuracaoresort.com/">Habitat</a>, I recommend it if you like to be in the nature part of the island) turned out to be perfect. </p>
<p>Took quite a few clicks to get a good half-shot with all elements in it. The parasol just gives it a nice touch.</p>
<p>Taken with my 5D and a 15mm fisheye, at f10 and 1/200 sec. There was more than enough light to work without flashes and set ISO at 100.</p>

Our little baby boy Luc, at six months. A very happy smiling little fellow who&#8217;s looking great in Blue!</p>
<p>Shot with my 50mm (the cheap-ass one from Canon f1.8) at f2 and an exposure bias of 1 full stop in order to keep the dark bits as they should be. I took the quick, lazy option of shooting Av because I didn&#8217;t want to risk losing the moment. After setting things up quickly it was just a matter of focussing properly (not always easy with this lens: it is rather poorly built, but so is the 5 times more expensive f1.4), getting the right frame and start clicking away!</p>
<p>Afterwards it turned out there was no need for hurry, Luc loves smiling and took plenty of time to pose for the camera. Out of 30 shots this one came out nicest.</p>
