Lady with rose

June 20 - Lady with rose
Spent a lot of the day with editing photos I made last wednesday for “Wiki loves art”. So for today I made a photo of a rose and added it to one of the paintings. Think she could use it.

If you’re interested: here is link to my other photos. Still have some work to do. Lost some parts of the titles during the upload.

Rain and sun

June 19 - Rain and sun
Just a little experiment. Two photos combined (15 minutes between them). Made through a window and just guessing the angel (no tripod). Upper left: lots of rain, lower right: the sun came back.

Between the rails

June 18 - Between the rails
A quick “lunch walk” photo. Would be nice to see a train or two on this one. Not much time to make comments. Lots of young people (age 18/19) got a good exam results today (including my daughter), so it’s party time in the neighbourhood for some days here.

The market square at Haarlem with the Great or St. Bavo church.

Made photos in the “Frans Hals” museum today, “Wiki loves art” is running here this month. Lot of restrictions in the museum, but it was wonderful to do. I’m not a big fan of old paintings, but it’s very nice to look at them through a camera.

On the left a detail of a painting made by Gerrit Berckheyde in 1696, on the right the situation today (on my way back home). Not exactly the same angel, but I think it’s nice to see the two views together.

This is just a very quick edit (painting is too blurry, due to noise correction I think).

Papaver

June 16 - Papaver
I liked the combination of red an green here during a short walk after the rain.

Portraits

June 15 - Portraits
Portrait day at school. Playing a little with some portraits. Only my portrait (upperleft) wasn’t made by me (thanks John!). Homework: a decent selfportrait within two weeks :(

Pond

June 14 - Pond
Just a little playing in my garden on a lazy sunday afternoon. Tried to catch a drop falling in my (repaired) pond. The light is from my flash, but I also needed (a lot of) sun, since the water pump is solar powered.

Power lines

Jun 13 - Power lines
When making landscape photos around here, it’s always hard to avoid these lines. I made the reds a little brighter here.

The last lunch

June 12 - The last lunch
The last day at work of one of my colleagues. His official farewell was yesterday, but today we gave him a nice outside lunch.

On my way home

June 11 - On my way home
Normally there’s a lot of traffic here, but I was late on my way home. There’s the road, the railroad (no train), a man on a bicycle, some traffic waiting for the tunnel and a large cruise ship on the channel. The ship past the ferry before I was there (+/- 2.5 km) There seems to be an enormous amount of lampposts here. Never noticed that before.
