Anybody missed Lazy Posy?.. 🙄
Probably not 😅

Sun peaks through slice, illuminating partly molten frost
A cloudy sky, with a tiny slice of air, let the sun shine for less than two minutes. I scouted a bit on the beach and settled for this shot. The sand patches are made by the wind, and during the day the frost had not completely molten, somehow remaining only on there. (Shot last week)

Always nice if a person passes the setting sun :-)

2025-03-02 13:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostImproving my shots with gaussian splatting...
Gaussian Splatting is a pretty mind-blowing technology with some creative potential 😁 This was generated and animated in Jawset Postshot, exported as EXR and graded in Resolve, where I changed the background color. (video is mute)

Scenic in the sense that it's not just a horizon. This one is about 7 years old I think.
2025-02-25 11:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostPartial mist with frost (2)
More photos of the same morning as last week... In small form this doesn't look that appealing but as a desktop wallpaper it could do nice. In some parts of the world this might be quite common, but not here. Next week a 'regular sunset' again 😉
2025-02-23 11:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostRed streetlights (short clip, with music)
This had to be a one taker... Fog and frost. These lights are red to not disturb bats... Pretty wild. Shots like this is what I actually got that infamous black mist filter for... It will likely be the intro shot of the "orange sodium lights" video that will probably be not only about those anymore...
2025-02-19 11:00:09 +0000 UTC View Post"Glowing" crescent moon
I actually can't remember if this glow is from actual fog or clouds, or that I cheated (which I did two or three times to make the shot more interesting). Anyway.. Nice right? ;-)
2025-02-18 11:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostMist and frost (1)
This mid January there were several days of rare partial mist and frost in the South of the Netherlands. I finally went there, expecting to be too late for any partial mist, but to my surprise I wasn't. "Weather makes the landscape" is very true here. (I came up with that myself 😁). On the second photo it almost looks like I'm high up a mountain but it is only about 65 meters higher than the background.
2025-02-16 11:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostEvolution music scores: All 8 sides from left to right (enhanced)
In these enhanced photos (which makes it look filthy) you can see all 8 sides of the Revox Evolution. They actually embossed a different score on every side! Anybody recognize something?... My knowledge of notes is too rudimentary to make out what this is.
2025-02-13 11:00:13 +0000 UTC View Post"Sinking" turbines
I came to the conclusion, that from my location it's now near-impossible te have a sunset that is free of wind turbines. Still, in this case, this wouldn't have looked as nice without them. Note the cluster of sunspots :) Shot on feb. 1st.

I have some behind the scenes, too. I'll make a video of that as well ;)

I just finished uploading this. If I'm correct this is the way you let Patrons see it earlier, yes? Now I shouldn't forget to make it live tomorrow.. 🙄

The sun flattened already relatively high about the horizon. Taken in summer.

Taken last September. I kind of messed up the focus... 😥 But I had to run again, it all came very unexpected.

Sunrise with contrails and a distant airplane :)
2025-01-21 11:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostSome contrails... (+ link to old website)
These were shot on November 4 last year. Atmospheric conditions were quite unique, leaving all contrails intact while not spreading them out to form a 'blanket' which happens more often than most people realize. The wind direction also helped. I used to have a website dedicated to sky where I pointed arrows at all contrails 😅 Later I did it a litte more 'normal' as can be seen on this ancient webpage: https://www.michieldb.nl/skies/contrails/intro.htm

A 'making of' or 'behind the scenes' of an example of how I grade a shot of sun. This sunrise was filmed last Saturday morning.

The first (captured) sunset of the year turned out to be quite nice :) Shot on January 2nd.
2025-01-12 11:02:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe first sunrise (not really)
This would actually be quite a nice way to start the new year. It's even tradition in some countries if I'm not mistaken. Given the cloudy weather here in The Netherlands I can see why that never became a tradition here... Instead we jump in the ice cold ocean wearing a hat from a large sausage factory... As I write this in december I don't know how the new year actually began. I hope good for everybody 🥳
2025-01-06 23:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostClassics: Fireworks slides (2001)
Seems appropriate 😉 I made these scans this december and they're cropped. I used the 'DSLR' scan technique. These are the original colors. I'm surprised these slides haven't discolored yet, though the pruple/blue seems very weak.

Instead of one telephoto, 5! 🤩 All showing different 'glitter paths' of sunsets in the ocean. With some (a lot) of fantasy it could remind of Christmas lights... This only happens on a very calm sea.
