England, Walmer – December 2024
The panoramic mode on the iPhone is not a favorite setting for me. On Instagram you get bombarded by adds about all Apple did not tell you about taking photos on iPhone: some work, eg using panorama setting for a wider angle (the fun for me using an iPhone is to be curious about all you can do finding it out for yourself).
But making a panorama having a straight line in front of you (a road eg) is hilarious. What would a sky panorama look like? So I did a 360 sky and a 180 horizon of the sea front at Walmer. Just for fun.

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #275 is ‘filling the frame’. Each photo fills a frame of course, but this is about focussing a subject, and eliminate distraction.
A cycle path along a railroad in Autumn, two days ago I showed a version in monochrome. Yesterday the color version. Today in color featuring a cyclist. Feel free to make up your own story, or pick your favorite.

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #266 is ‘Time’. The last time I will post about ‘time’.
At the Breestraat in Leiden, one can see an example of a shop front that has been brought back to its old look from years ago. They call it retro. Beautiful.

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #266 is ‘Time’. It takes a lot of time to tell everything about the concept of time. One aspect of time is change. In time society changes in most cases. These changes can be political (eg equal voting rights), economical (eg equal pay for men and women) or social (eg inclusion). But of course there are more emancipatory changes possible and needed.

One of the best musical stories about time is by Pink Floyd: Time of the brilliant timeless album The Dark Side of the Moon, that was released 50 years ago.
This week I try to show aspects that come to my mind. The first is history at present. Places where important moments in time happened. Which you observe from the present.
This is a recent sunset over the Galgewater in Leiden. ‘Where? Why? Of what importance?’ I hear you say. At the bridge on the left side of the frame Rembrandt van Rijn was born. A copy of the mill his father used for his business is on the right. The only thing Rembrandt would have seen is the sunset, and the mills. All the buildings and boats etc are ‘after Rembrandt’.

25 years ago I was fortunate to visit Yemen. For this week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge #263 ‘A face in the crowd’ I will publish some street portraits of that trip. Looking back at old photos can raise questions: what happened to them in those 25 years? Especially now this beautiful country is suffering from a terrible war.

This week LAPC #260 is ‘overlooked’. Taking the word literally, one from the film archives. One of the ponds in Les Tuileries in Paris, looking at the small arch and the Louvre.

This week LAPC #259 is ‘unbound’. Again one from the archives, that I published earlier for LAPC. #164. The then small town of Fira, on the island Thira aka Santorini, built on the edge of a former caldera. Since 1979 tourism boomed extremely on this beautiful island. I feel fortunate to have visited it before that tourist flood. But each time I see photos of this place I long to go back. The beaches are perfect: volcanic ashes that does not stick like sand.
