posted in: Uncategorized | 0

Dear friends,

I like to bring the following two online events on Monday November 22 and 29, 8.00 PM CET Amsterdam, 7.00 UK under your attention.

Jan van der Greef returns with two excellent presentations on Creative Hide Photography. In these presentations Jan will cover several hides in Europe and discusses the challenges and tricks to create unique award-winning images of birds and mammals.

Each event can be watched as a standalone presentation, but we have added a special offer so that you can attend both for the cost of one of Jan’s normal events and have longer with the recording. 

We seriously recommend registration and participation in the live event for the chance to ask questions directly yourself or listen to the answers they give to other participants. Only registrants to the live event will have access to the Q&A content.

The recordings of both events will be sent to all registrants and will be viewable for an extended period (7 days) to allow those watching both sessions again and again to absorb all the tips.

Invitation webinar Mesmerizing Murmuration’s, March 29

posted in: Uncategorized | 0

I like to bring the following online event on Monday March 29, 7.30 PM CET Amsterdam, 6.30 UK under your attention.

Description

In “Mesmerizing murmuration’s” Jan will take us into the magical world of starling flocks and their magical sky ballets near sunset.  Breath-taking choreographies appear when small groups join near their roosting side, while growing into a huge new organism.
Dynamic patterns of interconnectedness feel as the heart of the observed behaviour. Science just begins to touch the underlying self-organization principles. In addition, intuitive photography enables us to experience this phenomenon, sensing the essence of the indescribable interconnectedness of life.
As ever Jan will intertwine great images with fascinating stories of starlings with unique approaches to photograph starling murmuration’s creating reflections of the beauty of the natural world.

Only registrants to the live event will have access to the Q&A content as well as being given a 72-hour post event streaming of the event, so even if for some reason you are unable to attend you still get to see the full event.

When you sign in to the webinar at least 5 min prior to the start, you can enjoy a beautiful video ‘The dance of the starlings’ made by my wife Jetske.

For attendees a special offer will be announced for the combination purchase of my two recent books.

Our inner world of images is the central arena of who we are and of our potential. Connecting with and photographing the beauty of the outer world reflects our inner world and gives insight into our limitless potential.

My book Beyond Oneness is used to illustrate how a world view is translated into visual poetry and how images are selected to represent the best fit with feelings.

Beyond Oneness
bridging the seen and the unseen’

geeft

Jan van der Greef een lezing getiteld:

Waar geen woorden voor zijn …

Dynamische patronen van relaties in de natuur vormen de leidraad in Jan van der Greefs wetenschappelijke en filosofische ontdekkingsreis. De natuur bracht hem in contact met het onbegrensde mystieke gevoel, dat niet in woorden of concepten gevangen kan worden. Fine art natuurfotografie creëerde voor hem een visuele brug naar het onzichtbare, een bron van zingeving. In deze lezing laat hij ons proeven door woord en beeld van dit onbeschrijfelijke gevoel dat nergens en overal is.

Plaats: Ceciliakapel, Kontakt der Kontinenten, Amersfoortsestraat 20, 3769 AS Soesterberg
