It has been a long time since my last post on this blog. Making much more use of Facebook nowadays. Anyway after an inspiring lecture about landscape photography at the fotoclub, it was time to put the knowlegde learned into practice. So we went to Kinderdijk. A small village located south-east of Rotterdam and famous around the world for its windmills. Actually the location has been put on the UNESCO Heritage list. Therefor thousands of tourists from all over the world visit the location during the day, but in the evening at sunset not many people are around so you have plenty of time and space to set-up your gear.
The weather was perfect for a nice landscapepicture. A bit cloudy and dry. And also it was the first time I made use of a LEE filtersystem. I used for some of the pictures a LEE ND 0.3 greyfilter which creates a nice colour effect on water and clouds.
As usual my pictures are published on my site: Link
For those who are interested, this is the official tourist webpage of Kinderdijk with all the facts and figures:

Have fun,
