Playing With Fire

Burning steel wool reflects in the still waters, tracing arc of fire through the air.

Cornmarket’s Christmas Tree Through Steel

You know that weird liminal period between Christmas and whenever someone finally bothers to take the decorations down? This is it, captured in one slightly surreal shot on Cornmarket Street. That tree was still up on January 2nd, but I expect it’ll be gone in a day or two now.

The light effect on the steel table in the foreground was an accidental discovery! This was a quick hand held shot, not some long exposure or twisty zoomy multiple shots merged together!

It’s January. I wish they’d leave the lights up for January. It’s so gloomy and dark without the extra bit of festivity of the lights.

Hurrah, die Winter-Sonne scheint!

Und wenn sie scheint – möchte ich sie

auf möglichst viel Haut.

Am Besten doppelt.

Reflektiert vom Wasser oder Fenster.

Das Spitzdach eines eines massiven dunkelbraunen Holzhauses. Darunter die obere Fensterreihe mit drei Fensterscheiben und der Oberkante eines Holzgeländers. Über dem Spitzdach ist sich ein strahlend blauer Himmel. Die Sonne scheint und wird in der mittleren Fensterscheibe reflektiert. In den Scheiben werden zudem laubfreie Baumwipfel gespiegelt. Durch die Sonneneinstrahlung ist die Farbgebung in den Fensterscheiben matt Orange, fast Terrakotta im Kontrast zur dunklen Holzfarbe Braun und dem Azurblau des Himmels.

Tilburg. Home. The place where I was born, and where my children were born.

After many days that felt far too warm and far too grey for this time of year, the sun finally broke through. Blue sky appeared — almost as if the city itself was taking a deep breath. I went out for a short walk in the Spoorpark, close to home. As usual, I didn’t leave without a camera.

While walking, my attention was caught by something easily overlooked: a simple puddle. There was barely any wind, no ripples at all. From just the right angle, the puddle turned into a quiet mirror, reflecting Westpoint against a clear blue sky. A small inversion of reality — sky below, city above — reminding me how perspective can change everything.

Scientifically speaking, it’s nothing more than specular reflection: a smooth surface reflecting light at equal angles. But emotionally, it feels like something else entirely. A moment where chaos pauses, where the city aligns with itself, if only for a second. These moments are fragile — a breeze, a footstep, and they’re gone.

Photographically, this was about being present and reacting quickly. Shot handheld with the Canon 5DsR and the Sigma 24–70mm Art at 29mm, f/2.8, 1/500 sec, ISO 100. No tricks. Just observation, timing, and letting light do what it naturally does best.

Sometimes home reflects back more than you expect.

Photography, after all, is just another way of studying light and life.

Reflections of trees on the melting surface of a lake. The lake, with its thin film of water over sheet of ice  fills the image. The white trunks of birch stand out prominently. All appears upside down: the shore on the other side is just out of view.

Further round the lake (leaning over a fence)

A small lake reflecting trees and hills on the far side. The near side is short grass with a few taller plants now brown and dead from the frost. The sky is cloudy and dull white.

Industrial wasteland, in Thiers-Auvergne-France. Below the town flows the Durolle river, which in its day – from the 18th century onwards – enabled a flourishing industry (cutlery, paper mills, etc.).
