About time to add some panoramic images from all over the world, a section that I will be updating more over the coming months.
Most of these have been stitched using the excellent Hugin stitching tool.
View over Nagasaki, Japan, from the Clover Garden elevator. 2004
View over Capetown from Signal Hill Road. 2005
Radio538 Queensday concert panorama. 2009
Granville Island Public Market, Vancouver. 2009
Penstraat Willemstad (Curaçao). 2010
Dutch Olympic Homecoming Haarlem. 2010
I was just working on some of my hi-res panorama’s that I somehow end up taking while on the road. Figured it would be nice to share them as well on the website. They have some nice stories behind them sometimes and they are so much fun when you’ve finally managed to stitch them together (although a free little program called “Hugin” helps a lot!)
Kitzbuheler Alps with Wilder Kaiser in the background
[See location in Google Earth]
While having lost my phone during the day at a photoshoot we figured out it must be lying somewhere in this region so after dinner we used the car to get as close as possible and trace back our route from the day. We were greeted by this incredible sunset in the Kitzbuhler region with the “Wilden Kaiser” mountains as a backdrop and this amazing farmhouse in the last rays os sunshine. I was happy to have brought my Canon G9 just to be sure and boy did I made a good deciscion: what a place to live and to capture on photo! Obviously we didn’t find my cellphone but a little note instead with lipstick writing that the finder had delivered it to the Tourist Office in town. Again, what a place to live!
Thorn, the White Village
[See location in Google Earth]
While on a short three day holiday trip in southern Holland (Limburg) in a most charming little place called Thorn, known for it’s white houses as the “White Village” we had a cosy hotelroom in the middle of the town and from our window we had a fantastic view over a backalley to the right and the spectacularly litmassive Church. With my old Canon G9 I made some vertical photo’s from our window in hope of being able to stitch them back together when home. The result is so typical for the place!
La Bouverie, Southern France
[See location in Google Earth]
With inlaws living in the SouthEast of France I’m very blessed. We love taking the smaller roads up there to go though small villages where it seems that time has stood still. One of our favorite viewpoints is this one, just before heading into La Bouverie. A minuscule village that boasts a great winery where we get our wine in boxes (or as South Africans call it so nicely “Dooswijn”). Again a panorama taken with my trusty G9, a great camera if it weren’t for the clumsy controls and horrible flash settings.

Just had to upload this one:
Why won’t it fly?
Taken last week at a new Unox Event (check their brilliant Newyears dive here) the Dutch Kiting Day, which was plagued by torrential rains and typically Holland weather, for fall not high summer! Anyway, I was pleased to see so many kids and parents show up and between the downpoors and it was tons of fun photogrpahing the kids. There can hardly be any better subjects in the world!
The patient dad from heaven.
Ground kite and kid color combo.
Launching kite mayhem.
That’s not gonna work either…
What a bit of browsing can’t do.
In XXL (1600×1200)
In widescreen (1600×1000)
While searching for the Dhow images I came across some older DJ Tiesto images that I hadn’t sorted out. They were made at the Radio555 relief concert at the Dam in the heart of Amsterdam.
In XXL (1600×1200)
In widescreen (1600×1000)
As the senior photographer of the organizing Radio538 party I was allowed frontstage for the whole gig. A bit alone as all other photographers were herded somewhere else. Almost got me into a fight with some overzealous security guy but it got sorted out in the end. These three were still lying around in my archives. Enjoy!
Because of rebuilding my Fotograferen.net website I didn’t manage to publish these any sooner. An amazing late-December day in Holland with ice everywhere from treetops to grass. A stunning spectacle captured with a not-too great (non Canon) digital camera…
