I relocated today from Amsterdam to Lyon in France, and wow is the temperature difference noticeable (15 degrees in Amsterdam, 30 in Lyon). But I’m right in the city center, so already know where I go for the sunset smile emoticon:)

And here, is a photo I took yesterday of this more colorful version of the I amsterdam sign. I presume this one is not a permanent one, and was only place here for the pride parade, that was few days ago. But what do I know.

This is a two shot panorama, which I took twice. One as a base, for most of the photo, and second one at ISO 6400 and a bigger aperture, to freeze the movement in the trees and the flag. I then blended them together in Photoshop.

The moment I seen this curvy path, I knew I want to use it in a composition. I wanted to have it to pull your eyes into the photo, towards this crazy looking hotel. I could not get higher, to get more of an overview of the path, so I did a vertorama, while having the camera right over the railing. So what do you think? Did it work?

This is a two shot vertorama, taken in Zaandam, Netherlands

I spend yesterdays evening in the Zaanse Schans near Amsterdam, taking sunset photos with a local photographer Michiel Buijse. If you don’t know Michiels work, check out his page here behindthelenscap.nl. We had very few people around and quite a nice sunset, so there should be some very nice photos (a little preview in the photos to the side :)).

And here is a first one for you, taken earlier in the evening, with the help of a 10 stop ND filter. This is a single exposure, edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Let’s continue with another photo from Amsterdam. Today it’s the Montelbaans Tower during a very clear blue hour.

This is a single exposure, edited mostly in Lightroom, with few tweaks in Photoshop.

I almost always carry a 70-200mm lens with me, and I almost never use it. Yesterday, I left it at the flat, as I was going to an area with mostly tight small streets, and of course I ended up in an area where I could have use it so much. But that only means I’m going back there again today smile emoticon:)

For this photo, I wanted to use the bridge as a frame Church of Saint Nicholas (so I used a bridge frame as a picture frame :)) and I think it looks quite ok. Still, I will probably take this one again, with a longer lens, to give more space to the Church.

This is a single exposure, edited mostly in Lightroom, with few tweaks in Photoshop.
