10|10 Circle April ‘Look at this photograph’

This month is about polaroids. I got some fresh packs in the mail and really wanted to see how it would turn out. Well, I’m excited I can tell you. It’s not that I shot the best pictures as in technically a good photo. But the look and feel and the fact that they make great memories, makes that I really love these shots. Now, these packs are quite expensive at twenty bucks for eight shots. So I decided to just shoot one pack instead of one and two shots of the second pack I bought. 

10|10 Circle March 2015: A sunny afternoon

Recently, like … last Saturday, I joined a 10|10 circle with fellow Clever Cookie graduates. We post ten pics on the tenth of each month and then link up to one of the others in the circle. In this way you, the viewer/reader and us of course, can click through the circle en look at all of our pictures of that month. An inspiring and challenging thing to do but I’m so up for it. I really want to get into photography and develop some serious skills and routine. So that’s one thing I hope to get out of this circle.

Holga

Holga is best cool. Ik denk dat ik dat wel zo kan stellen. Holga? Ja, een cameramerk uit China. Zij maakten van die goedkope plastic, lo-fi ‘speelgoed’camera’s in de jaren tachtig. Erg leuk ‘speelgoed’ kan ik je zeggen! Er zijn verschillende modellen en een aantal lenzen voor op een (D)SLR. The foto’s hierbeneden zijn met zo’n lens gemaakt. Deze heb ik op mijn Canon 400D gezet. Daarnaast heb ik een pinhole Holga. Zo gauw ik die foto’s heb zal ik die ook posten.

A Family, A Van and Norway

Overview of the route we took – via Google Maps

Or maybe I should’ve called  this ‘Berries, a Crane and the Sea’. Because that’s what I’m about to show you. But there is a story to these pictures and that’s where the family, van and Norway come in.

The story goes like this. I’ve been on a trip to help a friend and his family move to Norway. Together with another driver I drove a big van with all their stuff up to Norway. We unpacked, stayed for the night and before the sun was up we were off, heading home again. So basically we’ve been driving for two days with a few stops, some hours on a ferry and a six hours night of sleep. In between that I tried to squeeze some photo-taking.
