Sunrise at Cap Blanc-Nez by Betere Landschapsfoto

Sometimes you have those sunrises that just don't seem to get going. Or actually it's not the sunrise but yourself.

It was searching for a place on the beach that would do justice to the patterns in the foreground. But also to the Cap Blanc-Nez and beautiful clouds.

Then some urgency is necessary. Because the light and color in the clouds does not stay beautiful forever. The light also created a special color and reflection in the sand.

This photo was taken with a shutter speed of 5 minutes. This made the high clouds fade a little more.

For anyone who has ever been to the Opal Coast, this will be a familiar image. The warm and cool tones contrast and add depth to the photo.

From a young age, I have loved being outdoors. At any time of the day and at any time of the year. My first experiences with photography date back to the analogue era. With the arrival of the digital camera the possibilities and my interest in photography increased.

At that time, I gained a greater appreciation for the nature around us. Landscapes soon became my most photographed subject. With very thorough technical knowledge, I lay the foundation for a beautiful and appealing picture. In doing so, I often search for my creative boundaries, which I push further and further.

Besides a technically well-crafted and appealing photo, I find it a challenge to photograph when the light and conditions are not as good. Because those moments are the most.

Photography for me is much more than just capturing the landscape. The preparation, being outside and the photographing itself are the core. The editing also plays an important role and I have fun doing it. Photography is digital and you can hardly escape doing the whole process, from preparation to post processing, all by yourself.

Since 2010 I share my passion for landscape photography in my workshops and courses. I work in small groups or in a one-on-one situation. You as a photographer are central and I try to help you as much as possible. With Yvonne I make sure you learn as much as possible in a short time and keep enjoying photographing and moving.
