In the Ardennes section you will see lots of pictures taken by myself.

Photography is a hobby of mine and when you mix that with the Ardennes being 1 to 1 1/2 hours away leads to a growing collection of WWII pictures.

My camera is the Nikon D80 with a small collection of lenses: Nikkor 50mm 1.4 / Sigma 10-20 mm (wide) / Nikkor 18-200

Sigma 10-20


Nikkor 50mm 1.4

Photography is a hobby for me, meaning that I try to enjoy it without stressing myself.

I try to combine private pictures with WWII pictures with travelling pictures and more.

I've got quite a collection on my HD so you will be seeing more pictures being posted at WaT

Target Fixation is a problem indeed for old time photographers (with todays hold-t-arms-length digi cms it is less n issue as you remain wre of your surroundings).

I remember having taken a video (in the ´80s, huge shoulder mounted camer gear of 5 kg) for n ad of an airport once, where they did some very photogenic combinations of tow/sail plane combinations (triple glider tow).

When following the glider in the air I did not realize the tow plane was coming in in the low pass to drop the cable before landing, it (the dropped cable) passed me as close as the train this very lucky gentleman. First thing I ever realized about the incident was when I took the equipment of my eye and realized everybody around me was lying flat on his belly...

A situation similar like this one, just that I had not followed the tow plane:

MfG Holzkirchen - Seglerschlepp mit Wilga - Abwurf Schleppseil


Purdue Glider Tow Rope Drop 2


LL then ws to always name and point out a dedicated assistant to watch your back when filming/photographing. This LL later a few times probably saved my life on the job.
