Photography

I can’t believe I didn’t share my photos of the Veluwezoom!  I was looking into the archives of my blog to find the photos and realized I never posted it, how can that be? Back in November Xander and I got together with our friends Candace and Fran for a photo walk through the Veluwezoom.  It was so beautiful and …

A while back some friends and I were chatting online about doing Project 365, which is a project where you take one photo a day for a year.  Something I’ve tried previously (a self-portrait version) and failed miserably, but am doing much better with now that I’m doing the ‘random photo’ version. During this online conversation, a friend brought up …

I think next to the lions my favorite part of our visit to Burgers’ Zoo had to be the Gorillas.  Their enclosure was a million times better than the gorilla enclosure at Blijdorp, where I was never quite able to get any decent photos.  This wasn’t a problem that day in Arnhem! The babies were adorable and it was really …

A few months ago a friend of mine told me about a spot in Belgium that she thought I’d like, called Hallerbos. It’s a forest just outside Belgium that, for a few weeks every spring, is completely covered in bluebells. She showed me her photos and I immediately wanted to go.

Tonight is the night of the super full moon, where it comes the closest it has been to Earth in approximately 18 years. They say the moon is supposed to appear 14% bigger than usual but I’m not sure how you are supposed to really tell. A while back I took photos of the moon for my 101 List, but …

One of the things I’ve been most determined to do from my 101 List is learning to make High Dynamic Range (HDR) Photos.  I’ve seen some amazing HDR photos on Flickr and really wanted to learn to do it myself, but on first examination it seemed really difficult.  This was when I first got my DSLR camera and I already …

Yesterday when we saw the sunshine yet again, Xander and I grabbed the dogs and headed off to Carnisse Grienden for a walk.

Early this morning my husband and I grabbed the dogs, hopped in the car and headed to Zuiderpark. The sun had just come up and we were both itching to get out and enjoy it.

Well, as promised after the Divas Day Out in Den Bosch I finally got around to working on the photos.  I am glad I didn’t bring my good camera, but they didn’t turn out too bad with the point and shoot. There was shopping. Lots and lots of shopping… It started at LUSH where Paule and Penny were quite keen …

At the end of our trip to France last summer, we decided to spend a few days exploring somewhere on our way home.  We knew we wanted to go see someplace nice, and we weren’t sure if we’d find anywhere that quite compared to our trip to the Gorge du Tarn two years before.  I loved that area, especially Castelbouc!  …

Wasn’t it just yesterday that I took photos of a beautiful sunset seen from our back balcony?  How did we go from that, with all it’s springy hopefulness, to this? Yeah, that’s snow. In Rotterdam… It’s almost March, for pity sake! Not that it stops the neighbourhood children from playing outside.  Oh, to be a kid again when nothing gets …
