Day 74 – Hexagons Are the Bestagons
While experimenting with the vintage SMC Takumar 55mm f/1.8, I noticed the grass was covered in tiny dew drops. In the middle of it all stood a small daisy, surrounded by sparkling reflections in the morning light. To bring a bit more of the scene into focus, I stopped the lens down to around f/5.6.…

Day 68 – Testing Vintage Glass
After picking up a few vintage lenses, I couldn’t resist taking them out for a quick test. These small blossoms turned out to be the perfect subject.

The reeds frame the darker space beyond, while the shallow depth of field allows the foreground and background to fall softly out…

Day 41 – Reflected Form
I am not sure what the sculpture represents, but its form and reflection immediately caught my attention. Standing alone in the water, the shape felt both deliberate and open to interpretation. The strong blue and gold surfaces contrasted with the calm surroundings, while the reflection completed the image rather than simply mirroring it. What interested…

Day 36 – Building in the Mist
Toward the end of the day in Utrecht, a light layer of mist moved in. It softened the light and reduced the scene to simple shapes and tones. This building already stands out because of its stacked structure and the greenery integrated into the facade. With the mist settling around it, the upper floors slowly…

Day 32 – Icy Walk
The first post of February. This image was taken during an evening walk while visiting a friend, as we took the dogs out together. The path was almost completely dark, except for a single streetlight breaking through the night. I was drawn to the contrast between the deep shadows and that one pool of light,…
