Fresh snow snow

Snow snow snow shooting..

The first snow from the year have fallen again and just in time to let everyone enjoy the beautiful landscape..

It’s as well the time to that everyone is uploading new pics from beautiful winter landscapes on Flickr, Like me.

But I also just wanted to give you guys an idea on what kind of Winter Photography you can have..  so I just wanted to give my opinions and shots to share with you..

Both are close ups, what I prefer when shooting in industry zones, cause they create their own entourage..

what do you think??

Winter and snow shooting, close up or on a distance?? panoramic.. ??

Have a great snow shooting time..

Time-Lapse Deinze Video

Time Lapse video in Deinze

I’ve uploaded 2 Time lapse videos to Youtube and Vimeo, both in 1080 HD resolution.

So you can have a look which one is better for Flash implementation, as well since the last upgrade from Youtube to support for 1080 and as well with the use of the Desktop up loader from Vimeo, what works flawless for the moment..

The only thing is that the image is quite dark, didn’t check it on a windows PC and on my mac it was perfect. But I’ll be upgrading and making the images lighter this week.

Apture integration on www.jaapwillem.com

Hello there,

I’m back with a short Blog post and a short note on my personal page (http://www.jaapwillem.com)

Lately i’ve been adding some points and additions to my website, mainly to make it more interactive and easier to navigate.

 

Frontpage: interactive extension

So on the frontpage I’ve added a very cool new extension, Apture. This extension do permit you to see rapidly some images and as well videos and my Twitter feed.

 

Images page: Breadcrumbs

The second change I’ve been adding is that addition of so called breadcrumbs in my Photography page. You can find it for example on my Bruges photography page and as well the update page on September images.

 

Comments? Shoot!!

Please let me know what you think of these additions and changes and keep tuned for some more changes soon.

 

Cheers

Google Wave workflow

Just wondering what each ones work flow for Google Wave is..

I have at the moment 2 favorite views..

• One with 3 to 4 conversations open. This is for the moment I’m really into the productivity and need to collaborate with everyone..
• One with no conversations visible but all hidden into the top from the page. This is the moment when I leave I like to have everything clean and I can see when I come back which ones had comments on them. It is indicated in Green

Which one is yours??

Give me a feedback in the comments or on Google wave…  jaapwillem at googlewave dot com

Amsterdam Street Images.
The following images are a few images I took during the car-free Sunday in September in Amsterdam.

It’s really nice to see that the people took their living room to the street to make a statement about the use of the streets.
True, normally the weather ain’t that good that it’s possible but still, it’s great. I think it’s as well about the spirit in Amsterdam that when there’s something going on, the whole city center is enjoying the party. Anyone who have been at a Queensday knows how the party can be.

So I would like to invite you guys to this small selection of edited images from Amsterdam and the living room on the streets. At the end we always have the blue cushion to sit on, isn’t?? To enjoy the beautiful sight over the Canals.

If you are in Amsterdam, just try to stroll around and enjoy the spirit of the city, you’ll be positively surprised.

Houseboat in Amsterdam

This B&W picture from a Houseboat in Amsterdam is a famous example. It is even mentioned on the Wikipedia site about the houseboats in Amsterdam, the Netherlands
In the city they all have their own official locations with their own Address. Due to the fact that the places are limited the prices have risen on the same rate as the Real Estate on the ground.

Enjoy..

Typical Amsterdam City landscape

Typical Amsterdam city center landscape.

So, about 2 weeks ago we went for a weekend to Amsterdam and it's always really nice to to stroll around in the city center taste the ambiance of the city.
Even though it was only for a day, the other day we went to the Zaanstreek, we had a great luck with the weather and the fact there where very few people around.
This is the moment I took this picture from one of the Grachten, canals, with the typical view from Amsterdam with the bikes on the bridges, the canals and boats..
Hope you guys enjoys this picture and stay updated for some new images from Amsterdam I have up my sleeve somewhere

Lavazza Cappuccino & Espresso Coffee

Lavazza Coffee.. It’s really great coffee..

I know there’s a discussion going on between Illy Coffee and Lavazza Coffee.. But honestly I just love them both.

We took this coffee 2 weeks ago in Amsterdam, Holland while strolling trough the City Center.. Great place just between 2 Canals (Grachten)..

Now I’ve edited these images within Adobe Lightroom and exported them as well into Flickr You can find them here Lavazza Espresso, Lavazza Cappuccino Dark, Lavazza Cappuccino Close up

Enjoy the pictures and treat yourself on a great cup of Coffee, Cappuccino or Espresso
