Sinds enkele maanden onderhou ik een moestuin. Een geweldige belevenis van begin tot zonsondergang. Vooral ook in de vroege morgen als de zon net wakker is. Dan schijnt het licht over de tuin en is het mijmeren in de verte niet van de lucht. Geluiden komen tevoorschijn en alles ontwaakt. Gedachten over wat allemaal nog kan verschijnen. Ze verdwijnen gelukkig ook weer. Het fijne is dat niets moet en alles kan. Dus:
ENJOY
Choosing can be difficult. Today I had that problem. It’s a sunny day and I experimented with my camera-settings. So shadows +2 and highlights -1. Spotmetering and ISO100. The look should be quite contrasty. In general, however, I think colors need more black and b&w needs more contrast. Especially whites. Look for yourself and
ENJOY!
And now (below) I pushed the contrast a lille bit with the curve tool in Lightroom and add some grain (25%).
How Dutchy can it be…..! It’s a windy day and I photographed it. In my mind I saw the image and so I went to the mills of Kinderdijk. As I aspected there were lots of tourists from Japan and I heard some Belgians too. I did not aspect to receive a postcard from a man on his bike, saying: “A free picture for you sir”. So I accepted it, because it’s free and I am Dutch, you know. I did not aspect it to come from ‘the bible belt’. On the backside he had printed: “Lord, save me!’. I do not think it was about the windy day….. So I enjoyed in my own way an I hope he did too.
ENJOY !
Today I saw new garlic. Garlic from a back-garden. I made a black and white picture of it. I like black and white above colour. I don’t know why, but it feels that way.
ENJOY !
It takes a couple of weeks before they fly away. The seeds of the tree in my garden. Did you know I can fly too? I am not only a photographer but I am a flyer too. I fly in my dreams. I fly low over fields and people are looking at me. They wave and ask ‘how do you do that?’. I never give any answer. According to my daughter this happens early in the morning. I do not harm anybody. So I like to go on with it like my tree does within some weeks.
ENJOY !
The first harvest of my back- garden! I love it! ‘It’s a beautiful day’ sung good old Freddy Mercury. Meaning something different I think. But I’am sure he could have meant it. Anyway I do! So
ENJOY !
I think you recognise the flower I photographed this evening. She is well known by herself especially in France. I remember some holidays I met her before. Anyway the evening sun gives a special feeling yo every image. I like the diagonal in the square format. So for tonight:
ENJOY !
According to the wheater forecast the temperature rises up to 30-31 degrees Celsius. This means full use of airco systems, where ever they may be. As I am not the owner of a beast like that I am going to swim. I think this evening to be a perfect moment. So think about that noisy thing and meanwhile:
ENJOY!
It’s summer !!! The coming three months it’s summer. A wonderful time of the year. A period of wine, lavendel, butterflies, flowers, some foliage, olive trees, caravanning, camping, travel, campfire and much more.
Maybe your going to the beach – start early in the morning and come back late in the evening to avoid traffic jam. For today:
ENJOY !!
Today it’s time for potatoes. Just before a cloud-burst I arrivered at my kitchen-garden. A huge cloud full of rain exploded above my head. So I had had little time to shove some potatoes and some salad. My daily meal: I like it especially now when it comes from my own garden. I recommand it to everyone.
ENJOY
