Dank je wel Jan! Foto 2 is in Zeeland gemaakt, aan de noordkant van de Westerschelde. Foto 4 is als ik me goed herinner aan het strand bij Kat- of Noordwijk. En 12 is op het onvolprezen strand van Schiermonnikoog. 🙂
Thank you! Your loud out smile made me smile loud out as well 🙂 When photographing in the Netherlands one can’t escape bikes. An orderly row like that occurs fairly seldom though. 🙂
It looks like there should be some kind of happy music playing in the background as they pedal along 🙂
I sometimes see guided bike tours for cruise ship tourists over here (it’s a new thing) – I bet you must have them too?
No doubt we have them too. Not in my city (we don’t have cruise ships embarking here), but in Amsterdam and no doubt Rotterdam they do. Not to the joy of the locals I must add. Tourists don’t always know how to ride a bike in hectic traffic. What we do have in my city are foreign students. It somehow always touches me to my soul, those small Spanish and Chinese youngsters, in winter with enormous woolen hats on their heads, biking along our streets, chatting in their languages. Awww…
Aww 😊 Over here, it’s the opposite: I sometimes see foreigners in open, sockess sandals in mid-winter 🤔 while
I’m wearing my warmest gear and still freezing
Thank you Nicole! I love black and white too. I like colour as well. The big advantage of digital is the possibility of doing both, even with the same picture. Some pictures are ‘made’ for B&W though.
I like color too. And, yes, I agree, some photos are ‘made’ for black and white. There are so many advantages to digital, but I just want to say that film has its advantages too. I shoot both. So much fun!
I envy you shooting film! I somehow don’t dare yet. I am secretly pondering of buying a used medium format film camera. The moment I do comes closer. 🙂 BTW, I had a look at your flick-page. Great shots!
Take the plunge into film! It’s so much fun! Not that digital isn’t, but I find something extra special about shooting film. I used to shoot film all the time, concerts and everything, and loved it. I still do. Although now I pick and choose based on the situation. I started with a 35mm and then moved onto 120mm and other stuff. Sometimes you can find a good, inexpensive camera in antique shops. Or EBAY. Sometimes, if you’re lucky, people are selling from their personal collection so you can buy it right from them. Thanks for stopping by my Flickr page! I appreciate it as well as your kind words.
Hello Peter,
nice B/W series of your coast, looks a little bit like our baltic sea coast (my favourite place) or the …friesischen Inseln…anyway…every coast is a fine place during the whole year …Best regards, Jürgen
Hallo Jürgen, vielen dank! Thank you. The Baltic coast is beautiful, especially I find the coast of Rügen wonderful. The Frieschische inseln I haven’t visited, apart from Borkum, but I think, although they are somewhat smaller, they look alike our Watteninseln, and, being born on one of them, those I am extremely fond of. And you are right: The coast, whatever coast, is always a great place to be.
Thanks a lot Dwight! I find it helpful to have one of more persons in the picture, to have a focus point as you mention, and to have some kind of scale. I’ve been thinking about that. I think I like people in the picture to help set the enviroment, as much as I like a human element in my shots.
Dank je wel Marylou! De Nederlandse en ook Belgische kust is eigenlijk nergens spectaculair. Maar ik hou ervan, van beide kusten, en er is altijd wel weer iets te ontdekken.
