This started off as a copycat of the fabulous Froukje, but then somehow wandered off into some bizarre photoshop doodle. No idea where the heart came from, but it just seemed right to add it.
I suppose that photoshop is a guilty pleasure, so it fits in todays FGR theme, and the splash of red probably also puts it in the TOTW theme too.
Any way I had fun with this, forcing my son to pose for me, then doodling away..... It isn't perfect, but I learnt a bit more about photoshop which was half the point of it.
Immediate question/thought when people find out you're a chef is how amazingly you must eat all the time at home....this is the truth of the matter! We eat whatever we can find generally that is quick and the least possible effort!

Prague's magnificent St Vitus Cathedral (of "St Vitus dance" fame), in the middle of the huge Prague Castle complex
Als ik inmiddels iets heb geleerd binnen de fotografie, is het dat je niet vaak tweede kansen krijg. Ik had deze locatie al langer op mijn lijstje staan, en was deze week in de buurt. De omstandigheden leken redelijk goed die namiddag, hoge sluierbewolking en iets lagere wolken die langzaam overdreven. De tijd echter, kwam niet erg handig uit. Ook zelf had ik niet veel puf om weg te gaan. Te vaak heb ik in zo'n situatie gegokt op de volgende dag, waarbij het dan toch opeens erg tegen viel. Ik weet daardoor nu dat als de omstandigheden goed zijn, en je in de buurt ben, er wel een heel goed excuus moet zijn om niet te gaan. Zo kwam deze avond alles bij elkaar. De kleuren waren spectaculair, en het was zoals zo vaak optimaal genieten. Toen de kleurrijke wolken langzaam achter het gebouw langsdreven, maakte ik bijna een klein vreugdedansje:)
Dit is een gestapelde opname van 4 shots met een belichtingstijd van +/- 50s, voor een totale tijd van 3m20s. Ik wilde zo alle kleurenpracht pakken die er vlak na zonsondergang ontstond, en een iets softere sfeer weergeven. Daarbij heb ik het gebouw apart belicht omdat HDR niet mogelijk was met deze tijden. Blij met dit resultaat.

Image: "humidity, the amount of water vapour in the air" Britannica.com
It's a strange thing this humidity: when the air is fully laden with moisture, the water-spray here just hangs there - even though it's really hot, but in really dry air - like in extremely cold climates, it vanishes in an instant. Some say, 'you can escape the heat, but you can't escape the cold'. However, humidity will follow you into the shade.
I wonder what this would've looked like if that were hot-water being sprayed?
Image's background story: As I was cycling along nearby, I glanced to my left and saw this sight, then a few seconds later as my slow-brain processed what I'd just seen, I decided that this image was too good to pass by. After doing a quick U-turn, when I got back the man had finished spraying, he was washing the windows with a washcloth now. I explained to this stranger the scene I'd just witnessed and asked if he'd need to wash off the windows when he was done. Fortunately he said he would, and that he'd be finished in a moment. This small village is way out in the sticks, meaning this fancy new carwash-place seems a bit misplaced, and this is the first time I've seen it in use since it opened about a month ago. Anyway, after a bit of smalltalk, the car-windows were foamy-clean ready for a rinse. I took my position and snapped away.
