My parents went to USA two months ago. And I worked on their pictures to make some slide shows on dvd. They also went to Las Vegas and Monument Valley, so it looks like I'm seeing almost the same pictures ;D Anyway, yours are great, no doubt. And your gallery is very pleasant to use. I usually work with Webthumb, but maybe I'll take a look to JAlbum

Very nice photos! Question: do you use a software (photoshop, ...) or is it already the end result?

I shoot all my photos in RAW and therefore I need the RAWconversiontool in Photoshop (I use CS2) to convert to jpeg. Because there is no inside camera sharpening on RAW files one also needs to sharpen the photos in photoshop. Further on I just do minor things in PS, like rotating possible tilted horizons, removing dustspots, etc. No more no less! Thanks for the feedback guys! Regards, Pieter

Hey Pieter, Just had another good look around your site. You've got some brilliant shots on there.
Just shows you what having the right equipment can produce. Mind you, you also need a good eye for what will be a great shot.
Keep up the good work fella!

Thanks Paul! Your words are highly appreciated! Equipment is indeed very important. I have, amongst others, a thousand euro costing 'walk around'-lens and it produces excellent and sharp images. A tripod & a remote shutter release complete the lot. One does need to know something about exposure control (automatic exposure control almost never works good enough) and something about hyperfocal distances (you can't just point and shoot ) if you want sharp and well exposed images, to name but a few. But equipment is indeed important. What I think is the most important factor though is being somewhere when the light is just right. That means you have to be somewhere at around sunset or around sunrise. The hours in between 10 am and 4 pm are photographically spoken very uninteresting. The light is too hard and the shades are too short in that period. I took me a while (and a lot of mails from Andy!) to agree to set my alarmclock at 5 am (whilst being on a holiday) and never return to the RV before the last sunrays are gone. Thanks again! Regards, Pieter

Great pictures once more. Congratulations.
That makes me think I should take my D70s back in hands for something else than shoot my latest G&W... ;D
