Spectral Morning

A beautiful autumn sunrise with vibrant orange and purple hues silhouetted against bare tree branches.
The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – November 2025

Autumn sunrises can be mesmerizing, maybe because the leaves are not hindering the view?

On The Road At Sunrise

On the road at sunrise, the A44 and A4 to Schiphol Amsterdam.

I am not sure this is filling the brief of LAPC #373 ‘looking back at landscapes’. It’s more looking forward on the road.

Golden Summer Morning

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – July 2025

And the sun also rises in gold on a Summer morning. And when you shoot it in color, it is literally photographer’s gold.

Capturing Summer Mornings in Oegstgeest

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – July 2025

Summer mornings can sometimes welcome you into a warm, joyful and laid back day. This is one of those days filled with ease. The sun also rises, each day, at more or less the same place. And when you catch it early, it is photographer’s gold.

Capturing Moments: A Series of SUP Paddler Photos

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – September 2024

Maybe I am not the only one. When I see a wonderful subject, that has to be on a photo, I tend to try out different things fast, to avoid the moment goes. And in the end there is a series of photos that are hard to choose from. What is the solution? I just publish them all. So after SUP Paddler in focus and

the monochrome loneliness of the SUP Paddler here is the last of three. I hope you enjoyed all of them.

Unique Sunrise Photo: SUP Paddler in Focus

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – September 2024

The canal is one of my long period objects for photos. I always look if there is something worth a photo when I cross it. Most of the time it is empty, sometimes there is a boat. But this time there was a first: a SUP paddler in a beautiful moody Autumnal sunrise. As if he knew this week’s theme for LAPC #319 is ‘setting a mood’.

Finding Beauty in the Ordinary: Canal Reflections

LAPC #316 is ‘Finding beauty in unexpected places’. One of the objects for photographs is the canal that runs through my village. It is quite ordinary, there is a vast amount of small and little canals to dispose of water in The Netherlands. To manage water in a country that is partly under sea level, one has to build infrastructure to keep dry feet. Two pictures taken at the same moment of the day, slightly different in monochrome style. The first is with the silvertone setting, the last with the dark setting on the iPhone. It changes the atmosphere completely. And one may be more beautiful than the other, it is all in the eye of the beholder.

Naxos Sunrise

Greece, Naxos – July 1983

The Greek islands have sometimes that magical light at sunrise and sunsets, that create layers of grey tones, fading in the distance. This week’s theme for the Lens Artists Photo Challenge #184 is ‘Travel has taught me’.

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.
