As Below So Above

England, Walmer – December 2024

The panoramic mode on the iPhone is not a favorite setting for me. On Instagram you get bombarded by adds about all Apple did not tell you about taking photos on iPhone: some work, eg using panorama setting for a wider angle (the fun for me using an iPhone is to be curious about all you can do finding it out for yourself).

But making a panorama having a straight line in front of you (a road eg) is hilarious. What would a sky panorama look like? So I did a 360 sky and a 180 horizon of the sea front at Walmer. Just for fun.

Paris 2003: watching gulls go by

France, Paris – December 2003

This week LAPC #260 is ‘overlooked’. Taking the word literally, one from the film archives. One of the ponds in Les Tuileries in Paris, looking at the small arch and the Louvre.

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.

Sea View: An Answer

The Netherlands, Katwijk – February 2023

Sometimes the color and mono have a fight. Two totally different tones and feelings to the same photo. And an answer to the question I phrased in the previous two posts.

This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge 240 is hosted by John Steiner. He invites to show my favorite type or style of photography as the road I have chosen to take most often. And – I was not really honest when I wrote this – that creates a bit of a problem for me. I might need direction.

Basically my attention gets caught and produces an image. It is not conscious, it is in the context where I am. And it results in an array of subjects. It is easier to say what road I do not take: fashion, portraits, urban. But travel, cities, landscapes etc are part of the portfolio.

I asked visitors feedback, and I am happy that those who took time to answer (thank you!) confirmed my own view on ‘my work’. Describing it as ‘random variety’ ‘context orientated’; I am in the place I should be (and I feel comfortable in). And it is a true pleasure to receive these kind phrased comments. So: I keep doing what I do, snap in context, it is fun!

It is easier to say what road I do not take: fashion, portraits, urban. But travel, cities, landscapes etc are part of the portfolio. Maybe I can not choose to continue in a specific direction? Or I shouldn’t?

I think I have to ask the visitors of this blog to give an answer to John’s question, for I can’t for myself. What do you think? Is there a red line in my snaps? Or is it a mixed bag of pieces? I appreciate your feedback.

Dredge

The Netherlands, Katwijk – February 2023

The weekly theme for LAPC #237 is ‘bringing softness’.

Right now the coast at Katwijk is work in progress. Sand is dredged out of the sea, pressed through tubes and added just before the beach under the water. 5,5 cubic meters of sand. Making it safe again and compliant to standards. As always Rijkswaterstaat does an amazing job.

Suppletion of 5,5 million cubic meters of sand – Coastal defense maintenance

The Netherlands, Katwijk – February 2023

The weekly theme for LAPC #237 is ‘bringing softness’. Softness can be achieved in processing a sharp photo. Or just use zoom on an iPhone and do not keep it still while pressing the shutter. It gives the softness that makes this beach view interesting.
