An approach of any plane over a motorway strikes me always with a little anxiety. Not it will crash but the opportunity to have a nice shot at it.

Liberation 1945

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – May 1945

This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge #292 is ‘People here, there and everywhere’.

I do not know who took this photo, I do not know the date. We assume it is just after World War 2, May 1945. And we assume my father took it. The photo lacks focus unfortunately, but that adds to the thrill of figuring out what is on it. Luckily we could ask the youngest sister of my father (my last aunt still alive); she thinks it is taken just after the war.

There is a parade on the street, observed by people; among them the sisters and brother of my father from the top window of my grandfather’s house (called Weltevreden) where my father lived. The point of view is from a window of the house where my mother lived, and where I would be born 14 years later.

The negative is quite poorly and damaged, but a sweep through Lightroom and Snapseed provided this old memory.

First Terrace Sun

The Netherlands, Leiden – March 2024

Carriage Wheels

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – April

An old photo of ‘ringsteken’ (if you follow the link you can see some photo’s in action). A traditional activity where horse pulled carriages try to pick off little metal rings from a rope held piece of wood hanging over the road. For lens artists challenge #290 Circular by Wonders.

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 TriX, scanned from negative and tweaked using Snapseed and Marksta.  Click the picture for a larger version.

Sunrise

Water Watcher

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – February 2024

A familiar sight in the neighborhood. He never looks good on iPhone but now on Nikon the details of his feathers are quite impressive.
