Everywhere people with camera's find their way in this world to make their shots. I like the art of taking realistic pictures, because it provides a way to show how I experience this world. It is a way for other people to look through my eyes.Nature ... exists primarily for her face, her look, her appeals to the heart and the imaginationGeorge MacDonaldJan-Carel Vierbergen

Since my childhood I'm used to walk with father, brothers, cousins, etc., and take pictures (Minolta X-700 with 28-70 mm and 100-300 mm zoom) of what I see. I grew up in Ede (The Netherlands), studied Electrical Engineering in Eindhoven and I am working now as Coordinator e-learning at the Christelijke Hogeschool Ede (http://www.che.nl) where I implement digital assessments for students and assist students in DTP and creating websites.
Since I know little about photographing as well as computer science it was not difficult to find ways for putting images on the web. The only thing to look for now is to find ways for showing the slides in a convenient way. I tried already something at http://www.che.nl/users/jcv (Dutch only, click at Dia's van de natuur in Nederland en de Alpen), but this platform provides good means to share my pictures with others.
I hope you enjoy this!

fantastic p'graphy the DOF on these are excellent.. outstanding composition, sublime work:)

I prefer the second also. Sometimes a slight blurr is good. In this case, I think not. I like the silkiness of the water. Aloha
Loloe
I love them both but also prefer the second, water is really beautiful. encore bravo!!!

The one on the right, please. The water-blur in the right pic lends a sense of softness to the background so the flowers remain principal. Thank you for setting out this example. We need such bits to grow as photographers -- Dick

I agree with the volunteer...
pimbotin
It all depends on what you want to focus the watcher's attention on... If the landscape on the background was wider, I would say the second one but, in this particular case, I wanna say the first one!

If the background was just flowers or bushes, then I would probably choose the first one as it would focus in on our intended subject. In the second image, we don't want to loose focus on the beautiful river water. In this case.....the second picture would be best. Yup! The second picture is most beautiful. Did we pass the test? Aloha

I like the one on the right best! The water flowing in the background really brings out the flowers. The blurry background only makes me wonder what it looks like unblurred. Excellent composition.

Nice fireweed pics, I like them both.

I prefer the one with the long exposure. Have a good day J.C.!

Wonderful images and very pretty both.

I like the one on the right perhaps because the cascade hints at a veil or a fall of white hair and is just muted enough to allow the flowers to emerge without condemning what follows.

Hi JC, what and excellent compared DOF study, I prefer the second one. I would have shoot with the first setting but the second inspire me much more! Excellent work Jan Carl, I wish you a nice day, Georges.

hotracer2
Both are wonderful, the second creates more interest once you have looked at the flowers, great job:):):)...V

Moi aussi pour la 2eme... Bravo.

I like the first one, it's dreamy and heartwarming. But the second one is realistic and picture perfect!
suresh_krishna
Excellent juxtapositioning of the pictures. I prefer the second one because the waterfall is more visible which gives the picture a body compared to the blur in the first picture. Brilliant take!
mss
The one on the right!
Chaos911
such a prety shot!!! i love it!!!
Piliph
I prefer the first. The second can be good but with another POV IMHO.
nathalie06
Great idea this study of DOF with different exposure Jan-Carel ! Difficult to make a choice ! In each one there are different good things. I like the way it's possible to see a landscape in different ways staying in the same place. The first on is more soft and harmonious in all, but in the second one there's this lovely effect of the water... I take both of them ;o)))) no choice tonight ! Have a nice week-end. Hugs.

Lovely photos with beautiful colors and water background. Don't know, which is the best. Super presentation.

Oh I think I like both :) - I prefer the one on the right though for the greater colour and showing me the background :)
