Holland’s pride: De Keukenhof. Enjoy!

.. and of course, me and me sweet mumsy <3 (Who bought me a veeery big ice cream!)

Last week I was the photographer at a musical created by my fellow students, Hanneke and Maureen. It was called Lost Souls and I really enjoyed it. Some photos:

And the beautiful ladies who were responsible for the wonderful show:

More photos on here. PS: the light was terrible, so they’re not terrific pictures.. :/

Since I finished school really early today I had some spare time while the sun was still shining. The weather was absolutely great, spring, sunshine, warm – perfect. So I grabbed my camera and ventured outside for a bit. I again shot everything in the Aperture mode (no more automatic!), auto focused and picked my own ISO. I experimented with higher ISO’s too and this gave a real dreamy effect, you’ll see more of that soon.

This one’s SOOC, straight out of the camera:

The result of some Photoshop was this:

‘t Was all snowy outside again this morning so I decided that, round noon, I could have a break from my continuous work on my final thesis. And since it was all snowy and my hair was all crappy I figured I’d be.. well sort of artistic. The result is really not-me, so tell me what you think!

I don’t know about this expression but I loved how it looks so rough. My hair is like the biggest mess everrr yet it looks cool here. I loved this one the best in black and white because it really gives it this.. harsh, almost violent feeling. I love how you can just see the strings of hair flowing, how it’s all not-styled and so on. Cross processed and original below.

And then there’s this. I don’t know what my mouth’s doing here, but I really love the light. I love how it’s extremely lit at the right side while the left side is just dark. But then there are these strings of hair again, where the light just.. flows through. I also think the bits of hair that are too long at the front of my face are good. If they wouldn’t have been there it would just have been another photo. Again, it’s the roughness that I love.

The snow was cold so I went inside, near the glorious window light. These are the result. I did quite a lot of them, with different colouring and such, but in the end I love the natural feeling-one the most. And the black and white.

So what do you think? Should I continue experimenting?

I was the photographer at a gigantic Christmas event, last night. Another Christmas was organised by Praiseband All in One and the choir Sing For Joy sang along, which was really cool. It was absolutely amazing! A short impression by showing a few of the 1700 shots I made, with a borrowed Canon 450D and my own Nikon D60 with my dad’s zoom lens:

Yes, this is my boyfriend. *sigh*

Haha, I’m soo happy! A little while back I got a Flickr message from Elena, in which she asked me for permission to use my photos. I, of course, said yes. But I never expected this! It’s so cool!

Thank you, Elena!

I told you that I won’t let those crappy teachers ruin my holidays – so yesterday I spent the entire day at The Hague with my dearest Joshua! It was tons and tons of fun:

Josh had to wake up in the train

It was a wonderful wonderful day! You can view the entire album at Facebook or Hyves.

Switchfoot.
