Let me introduce myself. My name is Ton van Dongen. I am a Dutch guy of almost 55, working in the food industry with one hobby: making photo's.
Through this Weblog I would like to share my photo's and the story behind them with you.
My equipment is a Canon 40D with a lot of glass in my photobag.
Currently I am studying in the weekends at the "fotovakschool" in Boxtel, the Netherlands, to learn to shoot better photo's and to improve my CS3 skills.
I have a busy job that brings me all over the world. Making photo's in nature is the biggest relaxation that I can immagine.
Most of the pictures are taken outside, but my study also stimulates me to experiment with alternative photo shoots. Like studio, portret etc.
I like to wander through quiet places in nature. I am financial "director" of the IVN in Den Bosch, which also means a lot of work in nature.
I started this weblog on April 4th and intend to fill it with pictures and their story, in the coming weeks.
Today I was wondering, late at night, through the Kootwijker zand. At the Kootwijker zand there is a forrest that burned down approx. 20 years ago. The carcasses of the trees are still there.
I had to do a task for the FotoVakSchool.
At night when the sun has set, the sky will turn blue for a short period of time (the blue hour).
No photoshopping was done to improve the pictures or enhance the effect.
If you are interested to get a professional print [framed or non-framed] of one or more of the pictures, then please send me an email and I will take care of it.
