The iPhone had developed into a nice camera. It is not the same quality als a DSLR or system camera, but it is a lovely point and shooter with more and more options added. The zoom is quite nice, but the human side – holding it still – is a challenge.

This week lens artists challenge #323 is ‘silence’. Autumn is a time where we move towards the end of the cycle, preparing for Winter. A time of letting go with the awareness that nature is preparing for Spring. The cycle of life at work, complexity in simplicity.

This week’s Lens Artitsts Photo Challenge (#321) is Intentional Camera Movement (ICM). Yesterday I published photos shot analogue on film: the result is only visible after developing the film. This one is from 2004 with my first digital Nikon D70. The fun of digital is that you can actually see on the back what the result is, and use this feedback to try again. Digital gives freedom and is cheap and gives instant feedback. 20 years of digital playing.

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.

‘Wild cows’ enjoy the water in the dunes near Valkenburg. The image is taken by hand on the maximum zoom of the iPhone, so it is a bit unsharp.

Another – monochrome – photo of the SUP Paddler. The full sunrise colorful one is here.

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’.

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.

LAPC 309 is about balconies. I have to admit that I do not pay special attention to balconies, unless they trigger me as I look around and they catch my eye. I do however ‘collect’ French windows. So occasionally they pop up in a frame. This is one of those, in one of my favourite cities, Paris. From the analogue archive of December 1993.
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 theme for the weekly Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #289 is ‘tools of photo composition’. Rain on a window distorts the sharpness outside, and adds something extra to the shape of the trees on this wet, Winter day.
