Obscured by Trees

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – April 2024

The Lens Artists Photo Challenge #297 is ‘music to my eyes’. Images and music are a strong way of bringing back memories, feelings, situations you once experienced. This photo clicked my memory for a Pink Floyd album ‘Obscured by clouds’. It is not so much the clouds that obscure in this image, the branches of the trees create a web of lines over the sky and sun.

Spring Sunset Skies

Skies can be amazingly dramatic these days, sometimes aided by a whiff of Sahara sand in the mix of light and clouds.

Leiden

The Netherlands, Leiden – March 2024

A few weeks ago I published a photo from the same point of view, but with basking sunny weather. This one is showing an overcast day, in the middle of the week. The previous one was shot with iPhone13promax, and this one is iPhone15promax. Spot the differences :-).

Carriage Wheels

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.

Going for Gold

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #288 is ‘window shopping’. Most of the time it is an activity associated with shop displays. I take a different angle, and use windows to shop for something new.

A Brand New Day

England, Walmer – December 2023

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.
