London in motion by Hans Kool

The Big Ben, a cliché when visiting London. Here you see the caracteristic tower from Westminster Bridge road, just when a red bus is passing by...

Hey! Welcome to my shop at Werken aan de Muur . Due to my travels in Europe, I sometimes have the opportunity to create beautiful images. Dedigital Photography brings more creative possibilities such as panorama photography and increasing the dynamic range of a photo. I use the so-called Digital Darkroom to show the world how I think it should look and how I often experience the world. Software allows the dynamic range to be increased to show the beauty of the world around us. My passion for photography goes back to when I was young, I saved up for many months for my first camera, a Kodak Instamatic box, when I was 10 years old. After seeing the first results, I knew: this is it! Many cameras have passed the revue since that first one, the darkroom has given way to fast computers and although the camera I use now is much more advanced than that first little camera with its little red pushbutton, I realise that the technology is much less important than our eyes. Looking at a scene and knowing what and how you want to show it, that is what matters most. I also apply the art of omission in my work, so humans often have to pay the price and are not allowed in the images. Often, I also succeed in making the world just a little bit more beautiful than the sometimes so hard and ugly reality. I hope you like my work... If you have any questions, you can always contact me! Hans P. Kool
