]]> This is really a lucky shot of a bee in action. It was taken in our garden this evening. Of course, with an awful lot of patience. :)

F-16 Take Off

F-16 Training Day

]]> Today we went to a training for a F-16 Demo at Twente Airbase (Vliegveld Twente). It was a 10 minute flight, but absolutely worth it.

Unfortunately, this was probably the last time F-16's were flying at this airbase, since the airbase is closed due to defense budgets cuts.

This photo has not been manipulated, except for the normal color level changes and cropping. The haze behind the wings is presumably air pressure difference or condensation.

House Fly

]]> For as far as I know (and could find in the insects book) this is just a simple house fly, or Musca domestica.

This shot was taken the same day as the Ladybird which I posted a few days ago. Next time I'll try to get some more depth of field.

PS: A few days ago, I've moved this site to another hosting provider due to continuing server problems at my previous provider. Also, as I'm very busy graduating, I'm not able to update this site as often as I'd like to. But you might have noticed that already. :)

Ladybird

]]> Finally I took some time to shoot some new photos. This is one of them.

This is a shot of a ladybird, which in dutch is called a "lieveheersbeestje" (sweet-lord-bug) or in regional terms "zonnekoekje" (sun-cookie).

World in a Cube

]]> Today we bought a macro lens (Sigma APO MACRO 150mmF2.8 EX DG HSM), which I used for a number of small tests.

This is the result of one of them. Although this is not the maximum possible magnification, it gives a nice idea of what it is capable of.
