Yea. Went to see Stonehenge twice in two years. Thanks for the comment. I do have closer shots but I need some time to process them. Will post them up when done. Too much backlog and work.

Thanks for the comment.


Here are some windmill pictures from Zaanse Schans, Holland. It is somewhere near Amsterdam. A traditional village solely for tourism purpose.

Sorry about the windmills being tilted. They were shot at an angle on a bridge overlooking the village with a focal length of about 300mm (35mm equivalent). That's the best that I can do.

From the way I see it, post process is only 25% max of making a great picture. People who depends too much on post processing just don't make the cut of being a good photographer. Do you see film photographers depending on post processing but can also produce great pictures?

From the way I see it, not all photos must be aligned horizontally. It all depends on how the picture is presented. For the windmills' case, I personally think there is no problem with presenting the windmills in that manner. Where's the creativity when all landscape pictures that you take are horizontally aligned?

Thanks for the comment aba9785. Yea, time to buy a CPL and retake all the Europe shots.

Stonehenge is always a wonderful place to go and visit.

Here is a picture of a lakeside hill in Interlaken, Switzerland.

Not really wide wide my camera. That shot is at its widest of 38mm (35mm equivalent). Just bought a CPL. Will retake UK cloud pictures when the weather is nice.

Amsterdam, The Netherlands

More Amsterdam, The Netherlands photos.

The National Monument


Red Light District in the day. The pink elephant to Amsterdam is what the white bunny is to USA.


The flower market. Thousands of flower buds and seeds for sale throughout the street.


Coffeeshops. Not like our typical kopitiams. The only public legal place in Amsterdam to get your fix of Spacecakes and any type of marijuana smokes and food.


Hope you like this small tour of Amsterdam. I will travel there again end of this month and hope to capture more of Amsterdam on photos than I did the last time.

Coming soon will be more pictures of Switzerland. Thanks for viewing.

I don't think there is a thing like ISO value too low. The lower ISO value that you can use will be the better, right? Only bump up the ISO as the last resort for my case. I'm already using multi-metering for these pictures. Using spot will be worse and will blowout the sky even more.

Agree with diwant. The last 4 pictures are only normal walk-walk travel shots. The 2 previous ones are better composed and captured as I have the time and no one was in the way. There was also that "feeling" when composing the shots.

Below are more pictures from Switzerland.

An Interlaken hotel


Glacier capped mountains








"Botak" mountains






Lakeside town


Thanks for viewing.

Difficult to crop the bottom roof as cropping that will reveal another roof and it will never end until the whole town is cropped off.

A closer view of a glacier capped mountain. This picture was taken at about 2500m above sea level with outside temperature of 9 degrees Celsius. The road where this picture was taken is called Sustenstrasse in Switzerland.

Tower Bridge at night.

That bridge is called Tower Bridge and not London Bridge. This bridge is the iconic bridge in London. London Bridge is quite plain and simple about a few hundreds meters away. I have other shots of Tower Bridge during day time and also when the draw bridge is opened for ships to go through. Will upload those later.


Then you should go there again with your camera.

There are a lot of "traffic" if shooting Tower Bridge from other bridges. That's why I chose to shoot it from the esplanade.

What I meant was river traffic.

Chapel Bridge in Lucerne, Switzerland. It was built in 1333.

Juliet's Balcony and statue in Verona, Italy. It is the actual Juliet's balcony written in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet classical novel.

#1 The balcony... Romeo o' Romeo, where fore art thou Romeo?


#2 Juliet's statue. They say good luck will happen when you rub her breasts, as you can see from the picture.

Everyone who went there does it. Young, old, guy, girl. Of course I also did.

Anyway, I've already felt lucky by having the chance to be there in person.

Thanks for the compliment and I'm sure you will be able to be there yourself in the future.
