One last blogpost for 2021

The last photo session of the year, and it turned out to be a failure. Or did it? Find about what I had in mind for this final 2021 video, and what actually happened. As I wander off into the forest and just take things as they come. Thanks for watching, and being here. Happy new year and see you in 2022!

And here are some of the handheld shots I got today. There’s 2 drone shots in there also. Just before it got completely dark! Thanks for watching.

Norwegian Tourism Expert

Good news! / Gode nyheter! I am very proud to share with you that as of right now I am officially a Norwegian Tourism Specialist conferred by Visit Norway which is the official Tourism Board in Norway.

To be officially recognized as a specialist by Visit Norway & Innovasjon Norge makes me extremely happy and eager to represent this amazing country in Scandinavia. I’ll be heading to Norway in March 2022 again, and possibly later in the year also.

I am very excited to say the least. If you are interested in booking a guided (photography) trip to Norway do not hesitate to contact me.

Beautiful Autumn Day

This blogpost contains just a bunch of nice snapshots that I took with my drone and Iphone today whilst out on a little walk with junior. He just loves the forest, and its so refreshing to see him explore all things new to him. He’s just walking around while I snap some shots and fly my drone. Stays close to me but is busy discovering lots of things. And to do all this in a nice place with these beautiful autumn colors is an absolute bonus. I love this time of year!

Enjoy checking out the pics below, thank you for being here.

Ninlingspo River in Autumn - Belgium - Photo's & Cinematic Video

A few days ago I went on a daytrip some 1,5h from home. Into the Belgian region called “De Ardennen”. Here you have a completely different landscape then what I am used to at home. Mountainlike valleys, very big and dense forests, forest streams with cascades and small waterfalls and just a lot of space. As it is early Autumn I was hoping to catch this forest with some good colors. And although the transition in colors hasn’t been fully completed yet, the forest still looked really nice.

The Ninglinspo is the only mountain river in Belgium and the trail along this river has the same name. The Ninglinspo is a unique hike in the Ardennes and I recommend it to everyone. Located in the south of the Ardennes, near Aywaille and Remouchamps, you can enjoy the beauty of nature, the waterfalls, the adventurous trails and the wild character of the nature in the area.

Admittedly, the name is complicated. But the beauty of the route near Aywaille is stunning. The trail follows the course of the mountain stream. This walk is a true classic and has therefore been declared an 'Exceptional Natural Heritage of Wallonia'.

You walk along paths and over bridges from one side of the river to the other. The difference in height of 350 meters over three kilometers creates waterfalls. Natural pools have been carved out by the force of the water. These listen to pretty names like "bath of Diana". The water can whirl wildly when it has rained heavily, while in a dry period the river gently flows downstream. Put on your walking shoes, bring food and drink for a picnic and walk this idyllic route. And don’t forget your camera!

Check out this video I have shot during my daytrip there, nice and slow moving cinematic shots to unwind and relax. And maybe get inspired to make it out to place yourself?

October Workshop, the End of Summer

Ran a beautiful Landscape Photography workshop today. Just with one client so the whole program was really custom and flexible. We did go to the “Leudal” which you probably know by now. My local forest and little nature reserve with beautiful woodlands, a forest stream and a big variety of flora.

Autumn is around the corner and the colors in the landscape were just starting to turn, nothing too vibrant yet, still very green. But you could see, feel and smell that Autumn is not far away now. Below are some shots of the day, if you want to join these workshops check out this link
