Amsterdam

Ahem yes I'm late very late with the blog. Anyway today I'm motivated ! So here are the last shots of my trip to amsterdam, I didn't post all the photos but you can find some on my deviantart account.

Some weed from the different coffess we went to. All excellent stuff !
Giant bike parking.

Bikes till no end !

Nearby the casino of Amsterdam
A lil break the hardrock café, it's really well placed and you 've got a nice view of the canals there.
Yeah , 10 mm is not for portraiture I know!
It was euro time so the whole city had decoration stuff like that to support the Oranje.
Obviously some tourists who paid for a ride with the yellow bikes, not as fun as a rent of free bikes.
Vondelpaark (I think it's the name)

Small entryNot far from the redlight district ^^






Asian temple, there is a kinda lil chinatown in Amsterdam.
Van Gogh Museum, We didn't go to visit it, way too much people and way too much expansive for 2 buddies like us.

It's a really nice place, everybody comes out even if the weather is not that warm , the city has lots animation during the night. Definitly a nice place to visit

Madame Tussaud , Rock on Freddie !
view on the Dam rack , the were preparing for the euro exhibition, the oranje played againt the russian but unfortunately they lost.At Madame Tussaud you can meet Mister Kennedy
or a random old dutch lady
or see the brothers de Boer
or laugh at the face of the poor Ronnie

Or finally meet Charlie beginning of the Redlight District... I had to put the camera away, didn't want to have troubles with some pimps or some caged beauties.


I'm sure I've forgotten some photos... bah it doesn't matter, you 've got the most important.

See you very soon for a short post.

Amsterdam Session [part two]

Funny how it reminded me of my first post on blogspot, so here's a pre-post cause as you might know I'm quite a lazy ass :)
So I suppose I'll be fullfilling the post whenever I get the photos ready. Guess what? Most of the photos are downloaded in my computer but I've not been editing them execpt some for my deviantart account.
So I've been to Amsterdam for a 4 days long trip with José aka PM, it was cool to get back there and that time I was less lost than I have been the first time :) , we walked a lot, smoked a lot , walked again and did some photography. Concerning photography I 've been an idiot with my cameras, I 've lent him a 35 mm lens and mostly used the 10-22 instead.. .Silly me. Added to that I've wasted a roll of hp5 when I wanted to switch to some Tri-X 400 (I was pretty happy with that, 36 photos wasted in 2 sec). May you enjoy the photos anyway.... So on with the shoots.

Old photos for beginning, those bucks caught my attention , 10 000 $ is not that usual . fake money for a studio shoot I think.
Sarah from the PCSE (the association which owns the lab and the studio)
One of her friend, I don't remember the name...
Yvan testing the new camera of Jean Mi



Yolande ! ;)
aha This is just a test on PS, fucking huge vignetting it sucks but I somehow liked the composition.
Underexposed ... With my screen calibration it's ok though.
Another place another time, in the train to Paris and then Amsterdam.

Paris , Gare du Nord . We had to wait until the departure to Amsterdam, so we had some beers at the bar. it's such a smart way to kill time.

Arrival at the hotel. pretty good room though we were usually woken up by the housewive at 9h am.
Fist night, first coffee shop. We had a burger at the the Leidseplein burger king and then we went to to see the euro game at the Bulldog. Some Jack Herrer here, pretty good.

Next morning , we went to buy some tickets at the GVB (tramways, cars, mero company) so we went to the Damrak.
A shame I didn't dare to get closer to shoot them.


The Magna Plazza, a commercial center. I thought it was a museum first lol.


The bikes, there are so much and eveywhere that you must have a photo of them if you go there.
Ok enough with blogging. To be continued next time I'm motivated, stay tuned ;)
