I suppose that's it for this year since it is raining this morning, but it was nice while it lasted. I am further pleased to report that of this week's 7 pictures, 5 were taken with on-topic equipment, namely a newly acquired 50mm Summilux R (no, not the latest version, that one was not compatible with my credit card at the moment). Here is an evening picture from Hilversum, outside an ice cream parlour: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_25.jpg On Friday, I came home from work to find that my wife and several friends and assorted children had spent several hours eating, drinking, frolicking in the pool and so on. So I did the sensible thing and joined in. Here are a couple of our friends, Sandy and Karen, respectively: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_25alt1.jpg http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_25alt2.jpg The remaining shots are the beginning of a project I have decided to embark on, to photograph cyclists and their bicycles around here. This is after all a country where the average person owns at least two bicycles, and they, like their owners, come in all sizes and shapes. So here is an initial appetizer, I would really appreciate some feedback so I know whether I am on to something or whether I am all wet. First, three recreational cyclists on a dike just north of Amsterdam: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_25alt3.jpg Then three street scenes from Amsterdam itself: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_25alt4.jpg http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_25alt5.jpg http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_25alt6.jpg The complete PAW index is at: http://www.nathanfoto.com/indexpaw2005.html and comments/critique are always welcome and appreciated.
