Every once in a while all the hard work as a photographers pays of. This was one of those times… I was called by an editor from Rijtesten.nl with the opportunity to accompany him on a trip to Cologne. The Focus RS500 press car had to be returned from the Dutch Ford HQ to the factory in Cologne, and Ford was kind enough to let him take a photographer with him. The schedule was kinda tight, leaving Amsterdam at 1:00PM and having to be ready for dinner in Cologne at 7:30PM, but I thought that we could squeeze in a visit to a special German photo location I had in mind… the famous Nürburgring Nordschleife!

Luckily some of the attendants were late, so we didn’t have to share a car. Time was limited for pictures, as usual for events like these, but apart from an unfriendly forester complaining about permits everything went fine. 
Last week I traveled to Deventer, to shoot some pics of the eco-Benz at the stunning estate “Het Hunderen“. The owner was kind enough to let us shoot even though the place was rented to a party. I’m really glad with this location, that the editor came up with. The car itself is stunning, I had my taste of CEO-life being driven around in the back.
