Nature's deep freeze  - Ezinge, The Netherlands - Bas Meelker Landscape and Nature Photography

At -23〫C waiting for the light isn't the most pleasant thing to do. The morning of February 4 was the coldest sunrise I have ever experienced in the Netherlands. It was also one of the most beautiful. This is a stitched panorama made up from 3 horizontal exposures at 70mm. Click on the image to see the larger version!

Lights of Ljouwert - Leeuwarden, The Netherlands - Bas Meelker Landscape and Wildlife Photography

Last Friday evening and Saturday morning I was invited to Leeuwarden's center for arts Pernas for a guest lecture on landscape photography. During my stay in Leeuwarden I couldn't resist a photographic visit to the historic town center for some twilight shots. It seems like Leeuwarden forgot to turn off the Christmas lights...

6th international nature photography festival 2012 - Bas Meelker Landscape and Nature Photography



6th international nature photography festival 2012 - Bas Meelker Landscape and Nature PhotographyThe theme of my presentation will be 'Writing with light' and why in my opinion the light in many cases is more important than the subject. I'll be talking about what I call the 'Bird on a stick-virus' and how to cure yourself from this 'disease', commonly spread amongst nature and wildlife photographers. And of course I'll be showing a lot of my work, the story behind the images and the choices I made while taking them. During the festival I will also be selling and signing my latest book.

You can download the flyer with the complete program here. For more information please visit the NVN website. I'm looking forward to seeing you all on the festival! It will be fun!

Bas Meelker Landschapsfotografie en NatuurfotografieDoe je fotografie een plezier en bezoek een gebied meerdere malen achter elkaar. Door veelvuldig het zelfde gebied te bezoeken, leer je het pas echt kennen. Dan kun je het beste inschatten waar en wanneer je de meeste kans maakt je onderwerpen tegen te komen of op welke tijdstippen bepaalde locaties op haar mooist zijn voor je landschapsfotografie. Het maakt je ook een betere fotograaf, want je kunt het gebied fototechnisch vol uitnutten. Bovendien speelt de factor 'geluk' dan een steeds kleinere rol. Natuurlijk, reizen is leuk en verschillende indrukken van gebieden verrijken je, maar het kost tijd een gebied goed te leren kennen. Hoe beter je het gebied kent, hoe groter de kans op die unieke foto. Dat kan ook dicht bij huis!
