In his holidays, my son and I visited the Louwmanmuseum. It’s a museum with old cars and everything related to them. If you ever come to The Hague; and love cars, then this is the place to be.

Sweet Bokeh | SONY A7 | SONY Zeiss FE 55mm. f/1.8 | 1/2500 | F2.5 | ISO 100
This Wednesday I had the opportunity to play around with two SONY-Zeiss lenses on my brand new A7; thanks to a good friend. The first lens is the SONY Zeiss FE 55mm. f/1.8; and the 2nd one is the very small/light SONY Zeiss FE 35mm. f/2.8. I wanted to see how good they are, compared to my faithful Zeiss 50mm. f/2 ZF.2. Well, to make it quick: Both are very good lenses; designed for the ‘awful-lot-of-megapixels-sensors’ of today; and therefore slightly better than my 50mm. manual lens. So, I’ll have to sell something I love …

Two almost the same shots with the 55mm. and the 35mm.. Both are very sharp, but for me the 55mm. has the better bokeh.

In Portfolio I published the theme Essence today. In this theme I tell a bit more about what fascinates me in trying to capture the essence of things.
Onder Portfolio heb ik vandaag het thema: Essence geplaatst. Hierin ga ik iets verder in op wat mij fascineert aan het fotograferen van de essentie van dingen.
De foto hierboven is een mooi voorbeeld. Tijdens het ‘Ik ben Muziek’-festival van ‘Trias, Centrum voor de Kunsten’, waarvoor ik foto’s maakte, was er een Festival-item genaamd ‘Silent Disco’. Toen ik de Discoruimte binnen kwam, was het stil. In de ruimte stonden mensen met hoofdtelefoons op. Ze dansten en hadden lol. In de hoek stond de DJ, ook met hoofdtelefoon. Zonder hoofdtelefoon was er geen muziek en hoorde je er niet bij. Na wat foto’s van swingende mensen met hoofdtelefoons, die oogcontact met elkaar zochten, begon ik me af te vragen: wat is de kern van deze gebeurtenis. Voor mij was dat ‘Stilte’. Maar hoe fotografeer je stilte. En toen was er het onberedeneerbare moment. In een donker hoekje stond een medewerkster van Silent Disco. Het licht raakte haar profiel. De rest was vrij duister, met een raam in de achtergrond waar zwarte vitrage voor hing. Op de computer heb ik het contrast van de witte profiellijn tegen de donkere achtergrond versterkt; en de hoofdtelefoon wat meer zichtbaar gemaakt. Voor mijn gevoel had ik toen de essentie van ‘Silent Disco’ goed te pakken.
The photo on top is a good example. I took it on a Festival at an activity called ‘Silent Disco’. People were disco-dancing with headphones on, in a music-less, silent room. Pretty weird. Without a headphone on you were definitely an outsider. After some shots of dancing people, who could only have visual contact with each other, I started to wonder: what is the crux of what is happening here. For me it was ‘Silence’. But how do you capture silence. And then there was that unexpected, senseless moment. A woman was standing in a dark corner of the room. The light touched the profile of her face. The rest was pretty dark, with a window in the background with a black lace curtain. In the computer I enhanced the contrast of the white face profile against the dark background; and I made the headphone a bit more visible. And then I got the feeling that I had captured the essence of ‘Silent Disco’.
