Red Lights
No one seems to like these circular wonders, created to keep traffic circulating and flowing in a safe fashion. Especially when they are red, a circular red or an arrow for direction. For lens artists challenge #290 Circular Wonders.

A Brand New Day
The start of a brand new year, the first day with 365 following, given this is a leap year. A calm sea, the light breaking into the waves, painting a gorgeous sky in the clouds. It’s all in the details. The small boat heading out to a new port of call.

Rain
The pattern of raindrops or the clouds through the window is unique each time you watch it. The wind being the big agency driving it all. The lens artists photo challenge #278 is ‘unique’.

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 a Pentax K1000 on Ilford FP4, scanned from negative and tweaked using Snapseed and Marksta. Click the picture for a larger version.

On Wings
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 how fast or how slow it is.
One common misunderstanding about time is that it can fly. It does not. It is us being mesmerized how a certain amount of time goes faster in specific situations. Eg when you are on holiday, or having a great 😊 time. Each second, minute, hour, day is exactly the same as it ever was. Sometimes time seems to go slower too! Again, a misconception. But what is the figurative opposite of flying? In most of those moments I do wish time could fly.

A Cloudy Windy Day At The Beach
The Netherlands, Katwijk aan Zee – August 2023
A windy day with some beautiful clouds on a Sunday at the beach in Katwijk. The clear views showed the curve of the coastline, with the silhouette of Scheveningen in the south, and beyond that, the harbor of Rotterdam.

Sea View: An Answer
The Netherlands, Katwijk – February 2023
Sometimes the color and mono have a fight. Two totally different tones and feelings to the same photo. And an answer to the question I phrased in the previous two posts.
This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge 240 is hosted by John Steiner. He invites to show my favorite type or style of photography as the road I have chosen to take most often. And – I was not really honest when I wrote this – that creates a bit of a problem for me. I might need direction.
Basically my attention gets caught and produces an image. It is not conscious, it is in the context where I am. And it results in an array of subjects. It is easier to say what road I do not take: fashion, portraits, urban. But travel, cities, landscapes etc are part of the portfolio.
I asked visitors feedback, and I am happy that those who took time to answer (thank you!) confirmed my own view on ‘my work’. Describing it as ‘random variety’ ‘context orientated’; I am in the place I should be (and I feel comfortable in). And it is a true pleasure to receive these kind phrased comments. So: I keep doing what I do, snap in context, it is fun!

Walk on the Wild Side
This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge 240 is hosted by John Steiner. He invites to show my favorite type or style of photography as the road I have chosen to take most often. And that creates a bit of a problem for me. I might need direction.
Basically my attention gets caught and produces an image. It is not conscious, it is in the context where I am. And it results in an array of subjects. It is easier to say what road I do not take: fashion, portraits, urban. But travel, cities, landscapes etc are part of the portfolio. Maybe I can not choose to continue in a specific direction? Or I shouldn’t?
I think I have to ask the visitors of this blog to give an answer to John’s question, for I can’t for myself. What do you think? Is there a red line in my snaps? Or is it a mixed bag of pieces? I appreciate your feedback.
