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
Picture courtesy of Ruut WegmanBIOIt is all in the family: love for hiking in the nature. 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!

They kinda look like daisies dont they? Only with subtler..er...subtle...or subteler...sigh...MORE SUBTLE...whatever...colors. Very beautiful photo divided into 3 "layers", foreground containing vegation, that snowy peak in the middle...and the beautiful blue sky in the "back". Yup..indeed a perfectly composed shot!

So that's an edelweiss. I remember them doing a song in 'The Sound of Music' about it. Is this flower only grown here? Funny that we've all had a moment of... 'crawling on our stomach' so we can get that perfect shot. :) Very nice POV. And thanks for explaining the 'red dot' to us foreigners.
marybelgium

Vik9740
it looks like a river of ice! and those flowers in the forefront really seem so out of place against the barrenness of that ice.. great shot!
