A lot of people seem to like this last shot (it is last mainly because I put them in roughly chronological order). So in the interest of full disclosure, and also to illustrate the importance of always having a camera at the ready, I should describe how it was made: We had finished walking around Amsterdam and were in the car on the way home to Almere. It is my habit to keep the camera around my neck when starting the drive, because to get out of the city I have to go on the Damrak, a short street leading from the Dam Square to the Central Station, where we hit the inner ringroad. It is usually at that point that I put the camera away. The traffic on the Damrak is always slow, since there are traffic lights, people entering a large parking garage, pedestrians, cyclists etc. The picture in question was taken while we were stopped to let some pedestrians pass, and I noticed the buskers across the street--SNAP. The picture I posted is heavily cropped, perhaps 1/3 of the image. But that is why I keep the camera around my neck until I get to the ring road :-) Nathan On 7-nov-2007, at 10:15, Didier Ludwig wrote: > Nathan > The street picture at the bottom is my favourite - should be at the > top!
