The day this picture was taken was literally the hottest day in The Netherlands this summer with temperatures well over 30 degrees. The coolest place was in the far north of the country at the Wadden See coast Hoping for both a nice photography chance and a proper cool down, my girlfriend and I went to this coolest place: Moddergat. Light was not spectacular, but the cooling down was successful and very pleasant (a nice 21 degrees in the evening!).
My summer holidays have almost come to an end, it's back to work again tomorrow. We're back from a great holiday in Scotland and of course I took a few pictures. It will take some processing time, but I'll share some photos on Facebook in the next couple of days.As an appetiser, here's a panorama shot of Loch Lomond just after sunset. It's stitched from 5 portrait photos.
During our Scotland holiday this summer we only spent one night along Loch Lomond in the south of Scotland. But for me as a landscape photographer it was a fantastic evening.This photo showing the sunset was taken at the same location as the panorama posted earlier this week.Lot's of drama in the sky, nicely lit by the last rays of sunlight. Man, I just kept shooting! Again, a lot of midges were trying to make me mad but with such scenes I couldn't be bothered too much.
Very quiet and tranquil sunrise at Lauwersmeer, The Netherlands.Capturing sunrises in this time of year in NL means being at your location around 5:30. To my own surprise, getting up at 4:30 went rather easy. Trick is to just don't think about the fact that on a regular working day you get up an hour and a half later...
