Some tourists are more interested in taking their selfie, than taking a photo of the bulb fields or the tulips below.
Just look at the woman dressed in blue (right in the middle ) standing on the platform of the mill at the Keukenhof, one of the largest and famous flower gardens in the world. In 1957, the Holland-America Line bought the mill and donated it to Keukenhof.
Located in Lisse, South Holland, The Netherlands.
Happy Fence Thursday too :-)
When I posted my photo titled "Have A Seat" (www.flickr.com/photos/jesspictures/22514965165/) (bottom left here) I wrote a long description of all the work that went into it, and I mentioned I would post some behind the scenes stuff later. So, here it is.
The right side shows how I had to move around the chairs and carefully frame the shot to avoid all the construction surrounding it. I liked the low perspective for its own sake but it also helped hide the construction. In the end I still photoshopped out the edge of a tractor at the very edge of the photo.
The left side shows the professing that went into the final photo. I used my camera's built-in HDR mode, which takes three exposures and blends them. It also saves one single exposure at the same time. So the left side shows the single exposure, the HDR from the camera which has a better range of light and dark with the backlit scene, and then the final version where I did some processing to emphasize the colors and make the chairs pop. I feel like the final version looks more like what I saw in person, since the human eye can handle the lights and darks better than the camera, and the bright beautiful colors is what drew me to the scene in the first place.
Camera: Sony Nex 5T
Software: Snapseed on iPad, Photoshop Elements on computer (to clone out the edge of the tractor).
"Life is like a landscape. You live in the midst of it but can describe it only from the vantage point of distance." - Charles Lindbergh
Despite an almost complete lack of photography this year I couldn't resist a very quick trip to shoot the bluebells back in May. The pain in my hands was quite bad back then so I didn't process the images at the time and I've forgotten which old M42 lens I used.
This was 2-day solargraphy (2016-07-16 --->17). Initially I thought that each path of the Sun represents one day. I even showed it proudly for my wife "look how 2 days appear", and she asked "really?". Then I realized that the second of two days was mostly overcast, and the space between two solar paths appeared suspiciously wide. I have looked into pinhole of the camera in front of direct light and found a tiny crack close to it. This crack was responsible for additional solar path.
Conclusions are as follows. Don't make pinholes in extremely thin tin because it cracks. But if you want to replicate solar paths, make additional holes close to the main pinhole.

Pinhole take with Altoids tin on 6x9.5 Kodak Polymax paper, slightly cropped. Exposure about 2 min. Developed in D-76.
I love my TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II Tilt shift lens. I used to love the 16-35mm first for its wide view but the TS has won me over and over to the point that I hardly ever use the 16-35mm anymore. With tilt shift you have so much more freedom for creative work and composition. It's my favourite lens in my bag for all types of landscape.

from the pavement of amsterdam, this building stretches upward, a monument to urban precision and cool elegance. its glass facade mirrors the shifting tones of the sky, like a canvas of reflection. the lines are sharp, parallel, drawing your gaze skyward, as if urging you to follow its climb toward the clouds. there’s something serene in its symmetry, yet a quiet power in its height. the overcast atmosphere softens the edges, making the architecture feel both immense and weightless at once.
They looked like knights but they are only electrical hook ups for vendors to use during local events.

Spring feels like it is finally here to stay, as numerous patches of the pink and white wildflower are appearing.
