Hi dear Michele,
Thanks for your kind comment. This was my first time trying this kind of shots. The - higher quality compilation - you find on page 2 of my portfolio.
When I go back to Texel I try this type of shots again. Maybe with a better result ?
Warm greetz & huggss...

Hallo Luc,
Bedankt voor jouw commentaar. De compilatie van deze shot - in hogere kwaliteit- vind je op pagina 2 van m'n portfolio.
Deze orignele shot van de meeuw is een crop. De complilatie laat zien wat er in hogere kwaliteit mogelijk is. Overigens, nog niet tevreden daarover. Het was de eerste keer dat ik dit probeerde. Er komt dus nog wel een vervolg als ik weer eens naar Texel ga.
Vriendelijke groet,
Albert Jacobs

Hi dear Michele,
Thanks for your kind words. I do agree with you that the things "beneath our feet" are great and with rich texture, which sometimes can bring a nice shot, but always interesting to watch and study. Thanks for your encouraging comment, my friend.

Wooooww dear Michele,
Awesome view with such bright colours. This could be a good postcard. THe sky is so nice blue and the green is so green. Perfect shot under difficult lightcircumstances, but you managed.
Teh composition is also very good, the green in front together with this excellent blue sky. It all fits so well together.
You learned a lot during this period of publishing on usefilm. I respect that a lot. You must be fascinated by photography, my friend, which makes you learn fast. Perfect my dear Michele, keep it goning on and show your nice shots, so that we can enjoy them. Compliments !

Woooooww dear Michele,
Fabulous riverview !
I like your choise of composition with this nice curve of the river. Your POV is great and offers a far distant view of this wonderful landscape.
Great work ! One minor detail, the electricity line (I think it is) horizontal in the upper part of the view is a bit disturbing. Maybe it's an idea to stamp it away with PS ?

Hi dear Michele,
Great landscape ! I love the perspective you chose. The composition is wonderful, with the water in the front and the 2 groups of trees in the middle against the bush-background on the hills. Very moody shot with a nice peaceful atmosphere. Compliments !

Hi Petal,
Congratulations with your featured critique and thank you for your nice comment.
En die pluizenbollen zijn inderdaad prachtig en de plant zelf is zeer geliefd voedsel voor ondermeer konijnen en koeien.
De jonge bladeren zijn zelfs zeer geschikt als voorjaarssalade en vormen 'n belangrijke vitaminebron. De kruidige smaak is ook geschikt voor in de soep, smeerkaas en eiergerechten.
Als kruid ook geschikt bij stoornissen in de functies van gal, lever en nieren en bij reuma en jicht. Zowel de wortels als het kruid is bruikbaar. Met de zomer voor de deur als bijlage 'n plaatje met een simpele camera gemaakt in de Ardennen tijdens een van onze tochtjes.

Albert Jacobs

Hi Petal,
Thanks for your kind words.
Ja die wonderlijke pluizebollen zijn fascinerend. Dit is voor mij het 2e jaar dat ik de verschilende transformaties van dit "onkruid" probeer vast te leggen. Overigens als kruid is dit ook een geweldig plantje. Uiteindelijk komen er zo'n 6 fases in een lijstje om de keuken te verfraaien.
Vriendelijke groet,
Albert Jacobs

Hi Lydia,
It is a formidable camera with lots of possibilities, but that is why it is such a great tool. From the way you react, I am convinced that you approach with the right attitude and will succeed in mastering this excellent tool.
Regard to it as a nice tool, nothing more and nothing less. Try to learn step by step. Starting with learning how the mainline of the menu structure is organised. Focus on the essentials like: iso, aperture (F-factor or diafragma or size of the lensopening) and shuttertime (the time you allow lightreflection through your chosen size of lensopening).
The large the size of lensopening, the more shallow DOF will be, which can take subject away
form background and focuses the attention to the subject.
The mm's of reach of your lens demand a minimum shuttertime speed, if you shoot by hand. For example 35 mm digital can be done with minimum of 1/60 s shuttertime. If lightconditions demand a longer shuttertime a tripod is adviced.
For 200 mm lens I use minimum of 1/250 shooting by hand.
The lower the iso value the less noise in your pictures, but the more clear light you need.
So it's all about combinations of values of iso, diafragma and shuttertime and lightconditions in reality.
Wish you lots of success and learning pleasure, sometimes it seems like a struggle but finally you will experience great satisfaction and pleasure when you are able to predict the results, more or less.
Friendly greetz,
Albert Jacobs

Woooww dear Shirley,
Fabulous capture of the atmosphere ! Simply love it. As a student I worked years during the weekends at such places. There's this special atmosphere, not easy to catch in one view, but you succeeded with this great shot. Colours fit excellent, and one can almost smell the typical flavours that are connected with these places.
Perfect Shirley !

Hi Shirley,
Very interesting view. The atmosphere and expression are wonderful. There is a kind of magical surrealistic touch that I like. The lightfall adds to this feeling. A intimate view that catches attention and that is framed well by the lightfall. Well done !

Hi dear Shirley,
Wonderful view ! From the two I prefer this one.
The clearer lightfall in water brings more contrast between background and puts this beautiful woman more into the center of attention.
The atmosphere is simply perfect, like in all of your shots. Great view and absolutly on that fits well with your personal style. Very attractive image, compliments my friend !
