Curbstone Paris

As part of my Curbstone project I took some curbstone photos with my Voigtlander 15mm lens on a Leica M8. More results can be seen in the Curbstone gallery.

Louvre Cafe

Part of the Louvre are lots of places where you can just enjoy Paris and look at other people. Le Cafe Marly surely is one of them. To look at the people looking at other people is just as much fun!

A man in Paris

Walking along the Seine river I saw this man looking at me. He must have been there for a long time already.

Panorama from Arc de Triomphe

Maarten — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 21:55:42 +0000

I took two panoramas when I was on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. This one is taken while looking in the direction of Bois de Boulogne, which you can see if you look down my favorite avenue just right from the middle. The avenue right of that one leads to La Defense with the modern version of the Arc de Triomphe called La Grande Arche.

Eglise Saint-Sulpice

Maarten — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 21:20:34 +0000

Eglise Saint-Sulpice was near our hotel in Paris and near the Jardin du Luxembourg. Both we visited on the first afternoon we were in Paris last week. Eglise Saint-Sulpice plays an important role in the famous book of Dan Brown, the Da Vinci Code. More photos I made in Paris can be found in my gallery “Paris”.

Afsluitdijk

Maarten — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 20:21:04 +0000

Today, driving home from a customer in the city of Leeuwarden I took the road over the Afsluitdijk (or Closure Dike. It turned a sea into a lake; read more using the link). The road was very empty so I took out my camera a took some photographs while driving. This photo was taken near the monument by architect Willem Marinus Dudok. You can see the statue of Cornelis Lely, just onder the pedestrian bridge.

At the end of our holiday on the island of Texel we took the ferry back to the mainland. There are always many seagulls waiting for passenger to feed them their left over bread.

Looking at the beach

People sitting at the edge of a large beach in the north of Texel, The Netherlands, in the background you can see the lighthouse. If you look at the photos on the Picture-a-day page (no. 256a) you can see the vastness of the beach.

Looking inside

Maarten — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 15:28:32 +0000

In a cafe yesterday I saw this nice scene. Although the face is not sharp, I have other photos where the kids face is sharp, I like this one best. She sees me taking the picture. More photos on the Picture-a-day page.

Hipshot

Maarten — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 15:58:20 +0000

During a food festival in De Koog on the island of Texel, yesterday evening, I experimented with some hipshots. I’ve done this kind of photography a couple of times before, sometimes with good results.
