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!

Unbelievable and very impressive !!!. BTW..I did not know that TIF and JPG can differ that much in what they save in the image.. strange thing.. makes me wonder.. what didn't I see the last couple of years as I use JPG almost every time.. Anyway.. this photo shows how tiny u humam being is and how great nature.

This is really massive. Way bigger than some quarry excavation. Even the Chinese have to be impressed.

That's what the red dot was about!!! I can't believe the scale of this landscape. It's awesome. Never get me there in a month of Sundays.

Wonderfull pictures. This is a good script for a film. The hunt of a red dot. All's well that ends well. It was a wonderful time.

Sure is great to have some sense of scale with the work you've done here. The guidelines and bounding box help immensely, in the least obtrusive manner. Simply GRAND! Have a wonderful day Jan!

Mahalo for presenting this beautiful series, it's been a joy to view! I would have never seen this guy if you didn't magnify him, it really does bring into scale how mammoth this image is! Aloha!
