High Lights
Theme #177 of Lens Artists Photo Challenge is celebrating. A moment during the day, seeing the light of the sun split. A moment of presence and focus, being quiet for a moment. Thinking of Nicolas Cramer.

Light
Theme #177 of Lens Artists Photo Challenge is celebrating. A moment during the day, seeing the light of the sun split on a shrubbery in the front garden. A moment of presence and focus, being quiet for a moment to celebrate life.

Autumn
The theme for this week’s Lens-artists Photo Challenge #176 is One image/one story. That theme matches the subject of my photo blog: What’s (in) the picture? Finding stories. Photo’s tell stories. My story (what made me click my shutter), and the story of the spectator.

Autumn Sunset
The Autumn was short this year. High temperatures were pleasant, but the amazing colors on leaves that are normal for this time of year, were not present. And when the weather changed the leaves came off the trees very fast. Luckily the sunsets are always there.

From the archive: Tree Oegstgeest 1978
This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge (#164) is ‘Looking Up/Looking Down’.
An old photo of an old tree, still standing.
About the B4 retouch series:
I browsed my archive for pictures to publish. Some of them are partly retouched but most do have scratches, dust and stains.
The picture was originally shot with Pentax K1000 on Kodak Plusx, scanned from negative and tweaked using Snapseed and Marksta. Click the picture for a larger version.

Where Cows Once Grazed
This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge (#162) is ‘all about the light’.
This artificial lake used to be meadow. The lake was created by dredging sand, that was needed for roads, new build areas and a railway line. And now it is a recreational area, Klinkenberger Plas.

This will pass
This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge (#162) is ‘all about the light’. This Summer is what it is, not the best one we had. Grey, cloudy, rain, and from time to time some sun in between.

Sky Blue
This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge (#162) is ‘all about the light’. Maybe not a photo you would expcect when it is about ‘light’. But it is. I always love reading quotes from people on blogs, but I am too lazy to look up this one. Someone said: photography is painting with light. Which is true basically, glass, metal or later film was made to be sensitive to light to store images. Sensors do the same, but we are not aware of that process. Just the result.
Last weeks I was looking at the sky more and more because a friend (I call him a friend even though I have not yet him personally for our first beer) Andy Townend ‘shoots a sky a day’ on his Facebook and IG account. A sky with clouds is a painting in light. I long to see blue skies, it is too wet and grey this Summer.

The Heart of the Matter
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #160 is ‘Your Inspiration’.
One of the biggest inspirations is nature and flowers. In times of Covid19 the back garden is a place to be.

Evening Clouds
The theme for this week Lens-artists challenge #154 is ‘one photo two ways’. These clouds I shot at dusk. I was curieus what the iPhone would do in low light. These are four shots of the sky. They vary on zoom/frame and one I adjusted the light measuring. So two times two.
