________________________________________________________
I have been photographing for many years, at first in the old-fashioned way with film and chemicals, nowadays digitally.
From the beginning of 2006 i have been working as a freelance photographer, lately also regularly for one of the larger Dutch Newsagencies Novum/Reuters. Nowadays parttime while i also work for a company selling and advising photographic equipment.
While sportphotography is my main interest, i allways try to be as versatile as possible. I work for Amnesty International regularly and a growing number of customers seem to be pleased with my work as well.
I work with Nikon cameras and i do most of my processing in Nikon Capture NX while i convert RAW with the Bibble Pro converter. To some extend i use Photoshop for the few edits i can not make in Capture.
Bibble Pro gives utmost control over the result.
I use NIK plug in filters quite often in order to optimize colour and sharpness.
Presently i use two Nikons D300 , Nikkor 2.8/300mm, Nikkor 2.8/70-200mm, Nikkor 2.8/17-55mm Tokina 4./12-24mm and Nikkor 1.4/50mm, flashunits SB-800 and SB-900 for Strobist photography, triggered by a Nikon SU-800 commander.

I like this art of fotography and presentation.
It's really a shame, that no conversation with photographers like you take place. I haven't experienced that.
So i give you now many compliments and will have a look on your pictures sometimes.
cari saluti

Yes you are right, i don't know why it landed in that section. Thank you for noting it.
have a nice xmas time

I have replaced it with another one from the same wedding selected less hastily.
I found the best metering point was the bride's fur stole which I used for most of the shots.
Thanks again,
Colin.

Thanks for your voting honesty (and the "middle finger" in your profile shot) ;-)... I put my picture "Thoughts of" up for a vote because when I printed it it looked 10 times better that some of the professional prints I see out there. If it makes it to the FC Gallery would be great, if not that's fine as well. Photography for me is a great hobby that I take seriously however, I am still an amateur on a learning curve. So I welcome all feedback - expecially yours; because I hope it helps and drives me to be even better.
Happy Holiday's from Canada,
Owen

The dancing boy was photographed in the middle
of the night in the mediaval city of Ghent.
The boy was drunken.
"So" the surroundings around the drunken boy dance the "twist" with him.
That's the mood which I wanted obtain in these candid photo.
Thanks again from John.
