The Netherlands, Lisse – September 2021

This is the garden of castle De Keukenhof, which as the name gives away, provided the name for the famous bulb flower exposition the Keukenhof. There is an extremely beautiful set of Dahlia’s flowering in the beautiful garden. A pleasure to explore all different types of Dahlia’s.

Where Cows Once Grazed

This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge (#162) is ‘all about the light’.

This artificial lake used to be meadow. The lake was created by dredging sand, that was needed for roads, new build areas and a railway line. And now it is a recreational area, Klinkenberger Plas.

This will pass

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – August 2021

This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge (#162) is ‘all about the light’. This Summer is what it is, not the best one we had. Grey, cloudy, rain, and from time to time some sun in between.

Shoes

The Netherlands, Naarden – June 2007

This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge (#161) is ‘feet and shoes’. Trying to find something that fits into this theme was difficult. I am not really into shoes or feet, let alone photos of them! However, I found one. I think. During a visit to the bi-annual photo exhibition at Naarden (FFN) in 2007 I shot these photographers clicking away on a just married couple.

Den Bosch

The Netherlands, May 2004

The theme for this week Lens-artists challenge #156 is ‘black and white’.
I
am happy I am old enough to have worked with film and negatives. I still shoot black and white digital, but film is something different.

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
.

Evening Clouds

The theme for this week Lens-artists challenge #154 is ‘one photo two ways’. These clouds I shot at dusk. I was curieus what the iPhone would do in low light. These are four shots of the sky. They vary on zoom/frame and one I adjusted the light measuring. So two times two.
