Low Tide

The harbor of Le Conquet at low tide during sunset, as equestrians pass by. To say I was surprised when I spotted the horses, is an understatement.

Unexpected iPhone Long Exposure Sunset Shot
While trying to take an after sunset photo, my iPhone decided it needed a long exposure. The result an unexpected shot. This is the photo I aimed for. It was published two days ago. It shows the sun reflecting in the clouds after sunset.

Intentional Creative Movement – Light
This week’s Lens Artitsts Photo Challenge (#321) is Intentional Camera Movement (ICM). Yesterday I published photos shot analogue on film: the result is only visible after developing the film. This one is from 2004 with my first digital Nikon D70. The fun of digital is that you can actually see on the back what the result is, and use this feedback to try again. Digital gives freedom and is cheap and gives instant feedback. 20 years of digital playing.

An evening at Katwijk aan Zee Around Sunset – August 2024
The Netherlands, Katwijk aan Zee – August 2024
Sometimes it just happens. You are in a place and the light is fantastic, and there is so much to frame in a photo. The sunset is spectacular and for some odd 30 minutes you are in a photography candy shop. This is a selection of what ended up on my phone on that hot August evening.

Who is afraid of Blue
The Netherlands, Katwijk aan Zee – August 2024

Stunning Black and White Sunsets in Katwijk (Give a Little Bit)
The Netherlands, Katwijk aan Zee – August 2024
Yesterday I told you about my passion and history in monochrome. And that I do shoot sunsets in black and white. Here is another one of the same sunset, but framed different. I will publish an overview of all those shots of same sunset that evening. Each of them show a bit of it, it’s in my humble opinion nice to see the big picture.

Monochrome Magic: Capturing Black and White Sunsets
If you did not notice, I am a big fan of monochrome. In fact, monochrome film was way back the medium I started with. It was cheap and you print your own photos in a darkroom. That was adventurous and frustrating at the same time. Not to sound old, but nowadays with wonderful software, editing images is easier, faster and more fun. And you instantly see what you get! But sometimes I do miss the anxiety of the darkroom, seeing a photo come up in the developer. Back to now. I do shoot sunsets in black and white, and here is one. The atmosphere of the shot is different, more dark and eerie.

Dreaming by the Sea: A Visual Escape Experience
When there are landscapes, what is the landscape of a sea called? To me watching the sea is like an escape of the real world, dreaming into the image that is presented. This is the layered story of an image, with each of the layers adding to it. The beach with the humans grounded on the sand under their feet, almost insignificant in size. The vast sea stretching into the far distance, rippled in the wind and current, offering a seemingly flat smooth surface. The boats and windmills that seem to float on the water that sparkles in the light of the lowering sun. And on top of all that the backdrop of the sky painted lightly by the softer light that lays a filter over the all of it. Put a frame around it and you have a nice photo.

Spectacular Sunset in Katwijk aan Zee – A Visual Delight
The theme for this week LAPC 316 is ‘Destanation: Fun‘. Going to the beach is fun, but witnessing a brilliant sunset on a warm Summer evening, while a display of boats and windmills complete the scene, is true fun. Here is the full view of the scenery of the sunset, I just picked out parts of it in other photos published earlier (and after).

Beach Fun: Captivating Sunset in Katwijk aan Zee, Netherlands
The theme for this week LAPC 316 is ‘Destanation: Fun‘. Going to the beach is fun, but witnessing a brilliant sunset on a warm Summer evening, while a dispaly of boats and windmills complete the scene, is true fun. I published a few of them already two weeks ago (see the archive Katwijk). I hope you still have fun watching them.

Magnificent Sunset at Katwijk Beach, Netherlands
Last week we had dinner on the beach and were treated to a beautiful sunset. And, as always when a subject grips me, I took loads of pictures. The iPhone makes it really easy just to snap, zoom, frame and play with light. So the last days I published some of them for the theme of this week for LAPC 314: ‘shorelines‘. It is probably serendipity, but it matched nicely on this set of photos. So to close the week a final one of this sunset. I hope you enjoyed them. And the left over of this shoot will probably appear in the near future.

Noordzee Beach: A Stunning Sunset View | Lens Artists Challenge 314
The theme for this week LAPC 314 is ‘shorelines‘. My main shoreline is the beach of the Noordzee. And the views it offers, particularly at special moments of the day like a sunset. The sky looks like it offers an extra layer of reflection for the sun, a second horizon.

Is It A Romantic Sunset Shot Or Just The Two Of Us?
When you are on a spot where you see such a wonderful sunset, it is normal to shoot multiple photos. This couple appeared in a few of the photos already, but each time they are in a shot, it is the framing of a different story as I see it. Maybe you do too. The theme for this week LAPC 314 is ‘shorelines‘.

Sky View
The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – August 2024
The sky is amazing. And everyone with a creative open mind can instantly play with it in lots of ways. Racing clouds home or seeing objects in it. And sometimes it shows an old map leading you into the unknown. The longer you look the more you find. Drawing you in more and more. Connecting with something new but familiair.

Spectacular Scheveningen Beach at Sunset – June 2024
The beach of Scheveningen, a few hours before sunset. The hour before sunset is always a kind of holy grail for photographers, but at about three hours before sunset the light over sea starts to change dramatically. The domain of gulls, flying around over the beach restaurants, scavaging for food, lit up against a backdrop of golden rays.
