Trip to Holland

I am back from a short (in terms of days) trip to Holland. Adam took part in a volleyball tournament, I was a kind of second coach. And driver. Of course I took some shots. Some of them have already been posted as Editorial images, some more as regular RF licence.

The drive itself was fine, my first with GPS navigation which did well. We arrived early on Friday morning, the weather was even too good which led to slight sunburns. Nothing serious though :)

Let me tell you, I am impressed by Dutch suburban architecture - so neat, yet each house is somehow different from another. Cool.

I don't see myself as sports photographer, but it's something I really enjoy doing. The gear I have is not very much sports shooting orientated, still, I took some shots I think are OK.

See the whole set in this collection on DT.

My first ever Extended License sell.

Today the sales were rolling quite slowly, when it happened just to save the day - my first ever P-EL (Print Usage Extended License) sell. And that's the image:

I wonder where it will be used ...

2000th Uploaded !

Another serious milestone reached - today I uploaded my 2000th photo on Dreamstime. It was one of my Beach Barbecue series which went through inspection in almost 100%.

Time to target another thousand :)

Apple iPod

I finally got my DT Assignment prize - Apple iPod 80GB. I wrote a blog entry on DT about it, so let me just direct you there.

Chelsea fan

Let me tell you, I am quite proud of these two shots. Partly because the technicals (lighting), partly because I was able to catch some emotions Adam was full of. And thanks to Editorial license DT has recently introduced I was even able to put those two up for sale. I hope you'll like them.

Hands on the book

I felt I needed to revisit the short series I took some time ago. It proved to be quite successful, so I hired my better half to do the posing with the book. The lighting setup was basically the same, with the snooted flash and reflective glass table. I hope these shots will also find ther way to sell :)
