What happens on a bulb field in Summer?

The Netherlands, Lisse – June 2023
The Netherlands, Sassenheim – June 2023

If the soil is not being cleaned by flooding or gassed by covering it in plastic, the fields that are covered in Daffodils, Hyacinths or Tulips in Spring, in Summer are growing cut flowers for sales.

Stonehenge Digital

England, Stonehenge – August 2006

This week LAPC #254 is ‘spiritual places’. In August 2006 I was lucky to visit the inside of Stonehenge at sunrise. It was rather cloudy but it was a beautiful experience to be within the circles of stone, without crowds of people around.

Little Chapel – Naxos 1983

Greece, Naxos – July 1983

This week LAPC #254 is ‘spiritual places’; I use an old photo that I also published in October 2021 of a little chapel in Naxos that could do with some tender loving care for lens artistists challenge #168: seen better days. I edited it with a lighter atmosphere and took out the most obvious dust and scratches this time, so if you want to compare, here is that post.

About the B4 retouch series:
I browsed my archive for pictures to publish. Some of them are partly retouched but still, like most of the archive, 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.

Peter Gabriel Amsterdam

Some iPhone shots of the Amsterdam show of the i/o tour, a fabulous show of Peter Gabriel and his wonderful band. The artwork was amazing to watch, each song got a different artful backdrop. When you are 73 years old and still able to touch people this way, creating new work.

Visiting concerts like this makes me dream of being able to bring a proper camera and shoot it from the front of the stage and backstage as a concert photographer. That would be wonderful and challenging. Now it is a look from the distance meeting the limitations of the iPhone; which is by itself a really remarkable camera.
