Sunday stroll

This is streetphotography as I like it: when everything falls in to their right place in a picture.

A sunny day in Venice, Italy. It had rained the night before, but the street is slowly drying in the winter sun. I was concentrating on a nice composition of the shadow the lamp post made along the street and over the wall. When along came 'the missing link' and in an instant I knew I needed to have the man in the picture too. I got one shot to get the picture right.....

Usually I am not for pictures where 'the horizon' is not straight, but here I think it adds to the image with all the other lines, straight and angled, playing their part in the whole.

Harsh coast III

See my previous "Harsh coast"-posts.

One of the places to visit on my journey through Morocco was the coastal town of El Essaouira with its wonderful medina and ancient Portuguese fort. Just outside the walls of the medina the waves of the Atlantic bash at the most wonderful rock-formations. The waves were quite fierce at this point but going outside the defensive walls on the rocks for some long exposure shots was absolutely worth the risk.

This is a 30 second exposure using an 10-stop ND filter. (For those not 'in the know': this filter blocks a lot of light making long exposures in the daytime possible.)

This picture, as many of my other pictures, is available in print. If you are interested, you may send me a message

Harsh coast (II)

One of the pictures I took last week on the rocks outside the citywalls of El Essaouira in Morocco. (See my previous post.)

Harsh coast

I am just back from travelling through Marrocco for a week. One of the places to visit was the coastal town of El Essaouira with its wonderful medina and ancient Portuguese fort. Just outside the walls of the medina the waves of the Atlantic bash at the most wonderful rock-formations. The waves were quite fierce at this point but going outside the defensive walls on the rocks for some long exposure shots was absolutely worth the risk.

This is one of the results.

I managed to keep myself and my gear dry, although at one point I had only just left a spot where seconds later a massive wave hit the rocks......
