Photography

As you can see from the title, I’ve decided to give the 365 Days photo project another try.  Two years ago I attempted the 365 days of self portraits project, which was a miserable failure.  I hated taking photos of myself so I’m not sure what possessed me to start a project that required 365 of them! I figured that …

Like most other things I notice when I go back home, this is something I only appreciated once I was gone.

I was working on this photo from Canada today and I found myself sort of amused because in a way it represents who I am right now.  Proudly Canadian but with a piece missing, the piece of me that belongs to the Netherlands now. Strange how certain things pop into your mind now and then, like how you can find …

I still haven’t finished working on my photos from Canada.  I took so many, and I hadn’t even finished working on the ones from France yet either.  I am way behind but I will catch up soon enough.  Here are some I have done already.  I miss the beauty of home… These photos were taken one afternoon while my parents …

As promised back when I shared the story about the Cheeky Pelican, I have finally finished working on the rest of my zoo photos from my recent visit to Blijdorp Zoo.  As usual, where me and my camera are involved, there are a ton of photos.  I’ll try to keep it just to my favorites, but if you want to …

One morning during our holiday I got out my camera and went for a walk around the property to take some photos. While up in the orchard I noticed some wasps buzzing around one of the trees. Man, do those wasps love them some cherries!

After a few days hanging out at Xander’s dad and Jenny’s place we decided that we should get out and do at least a little exploring.  Usually when we are going somewhere I will scour the internet to find places I want to visit but this trip was mostly about spending time with family so I didn’t make any other …

Last week our photo club held a macro and still life evening for us to practice and learn a bit more about it.  They set up some tables and we were all asked to bring something along for ourselves and others to photograph.  This was one of the nights I was most looking forward to as I don’t have a …

A few weekends ago my husband came in from walking the dogs and said “You might want to grab your camera, there’s some kind of motorcycle thing going on across the street!”.  The sound of motorcycles is nothing new here in Rotterdam, especially in this area.  So I didn’t even notice the sounds of them coming and going, but I …

Today I can mark another item off my 101 List!  It was a beautifully sunny day in Rotterdam today and even though my husband is quite sick with a throat infection, that still couldn’t keep him down.  Both of us were really keen to get out and do something to enjoy the nice weather so we hopped in the car …

Wait, not just yet!  If you want to really do it right you have to wait until Wednesday, that is the next full moon.   Tonight I looked out the window and saw a beautiful dark sky with a clear moon and I had the urge to get my camera out.  I have only the two lenses that came with …
