| About myself |
My name is Jasper Scheffers. I was born on March
29th 1987. I live in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. In 1998 I had to make a report
for my primary school. For this report I went to Gilze-Rijen airbase to see
some things about aviation. I went there because my uncle worked there and he
could show me a lot of the things I needed to see. After I had made this report
I started to collect more stuff about aviation and finally I went to Eindhoven
airbase to see the aircraft closer. My first visit was around 2000. After a
while I became very enthusiastic about aircraft, I went to my first airshow,
the "Open Dagen Koninklijke Luchtmacht 2002" at Gilze-Rijen airbase.
I had a very bad camera, but loved the show and the aircraft. At that time I decided
I want to take more pictures of aircraft and the real spotting for me had
started. My father had an old camera which he used to make slides. He didn't
use that camera anymore and suggested I used it to learn more about
photography. This was also a very cheap option to learn photography.
I started to go to the Eindhoven airbase more and
more. Every year I went to the "Open Dagen Koninklijke Luchtmacht"
and my pictures went better over time. After a while, I noticed that my camera
was not as good as I would like. It was too old and there was light coming in
which spoiled the pictures. I decided to buy a new one, but this time a digital
camera. In 2005 I bought the Canon EOS 300D. I also needed new lenses and other
equipment for the camera, because the old equipment didn’t fit on this new
camera. I noticed that the quality of this camera is much higher and I am able
to take pictures faster. It also reduces the costs to take pictures, no film
and no development costs are required.
After a while I had to do a workplacement for
school. I decided with some schoolmates to go to Denmark for six months. We had
a great time over there and I took a lot of pictures, including aircraft. After
a couple years and a lot more pictures, I needed a new lens. My old telephoto
lens was a cheap one and didn’t have the quality I wanted anymore. I decided to
buy a new lens in 2008, just before the "Open Dagen Koninklijke Luchtmacht
2008". The first time I really used this lens was at this show, the
pictures where much better. This is now my standard lens.
In 2010, I bought my new camera, the EOS 50D.
Immediately I noticed the difference between the two cameras. I took more
pictures of different things, such as cars, architecture, urban, etc.
In 2011, I started to experiment with some picture
editing: HDR(High Dynamic Range) photography and even Black & withe made
the entrance in my collection. This resulted in the more artistic photographs I
now make. Some people saw my pictures and asked me to take some for them. Also,
I started to sell the artistic pictures I made. My first real publications
where made as shown below.
I the future I plan to travel to more foreign
countries. While still in the Netherlands I want to travel around to see and
photograph more things.

| Objective |
|
My objective is
to make the best pictures of different objects as I can. As you can see, I take
pictures of everything. It makes no difference how many pictures I take or what
subject it is, as long as the results are good. My passion for aircraft takes me
to some weird places, where I can also take pictures of other subjects. All
these pictures will be published on this site. |
| Publications |
In 2010, I got my first publication in the
"Jeep Bulletin" of the "Original Jeep Owners Club" in the
Netherlands. This was one full page of pictures about an event for American
cars. One year later I went on a tour and took pictures for the same magazine.
I also wrote an article. These pictures where shown to some people before they
came out in the magazine, they asked me to take some for them. Because of this
I got some more publications as mentioned below.

On Mother's Day 2011 was a tour of the Original Jeep

could take some photos. After this tour, I wrote an article send it with the
photo's to the magazine. The article and a lot of photo's where placed in this
edition of the magazine.
