Hi everybody!
I'm Mike, 32 years, and from the Netherlands. My Passion about photography started as a little kid, long exposure shots fascinated me. For about 5 years now i'm actually doing DSLR photography, and naturally along with it i learned photoshop. I joined in with CS2, currently using CS5.1 (extended) for its HDR editing capabilities.
My main interest is the more technical and industrial photography like time-lapses, macro, urbex, factories and my main time-eater HDR panorama's. Since i started a little 3D-modeling some years ago just for fun i learned the existance of 360 degree HDR images used as environments and lighting.
This still fascinates me, and since a year or so i now run a webshop, selling these 360 degree HDR panorama's especially for 3D rendering purposes. The stitching and HDR stacking is done in PTGui and Photomatix, and all the retouch in PS. It's a heavy computing job to process and edit the 32-bit images measuring 20.000 x 10.000 px...
My main occupation is a factory service electrician, and i work for a metal foundry. this delivers some nice photo-situations with all the sparks and liquid iron. I also do the pictures for the factory newsletter witch is a fun task.
My other interests are -as mentioned- 3D-modeling and rendering, severe weather (photography), cars, bikes and everything else that smells like oil or gasoline.
I have a rather big collection of photos on www.foto-m.nl, and my webshop is www.m3dhdr.com
Well, thats all in a nutshell. I hope to learn some from all you experts here.
Peace out! _________________ Life sucks, so enjoy it! |

Hi and welcome to the forum. Some interesting stuff there, I really like some of the 3d renders, especially the old BMW. _________________ If life serves you lemons, make lemonade! |

Thanks thehermit! If your'e talking about my webshop, the credits for the modeling and rendering goes to the artist itself (people who downloaded my HDR packs). i just made the spherical panorama's as environment and the backplates.
If your'e talking about the personal page, they are all rendered and modeled by myself. I do have a soft spot too for old beamers as you can see there... especially love the 2002 model.
Thanks for the compliment! _________________ Life sucks, so enjoy it! |
