DM: Dagje uit Breda, 19 November 2022

Before I dive into the processing of all yesterday's pictures, let's open the ball with the thread for this Benelux Dyxum Meeting.
We had a nice day with a group of eight. It was very nice to meet again. Unfortunately our intended guide PieterB was unable to come, but fortunately there was another Pieter to set out a walking tour last minute.
The weather was as predicted: cold, cloudy, but dry.
For some finding the starting point was a bit of a challenge , but in the end, we all joined at the right place.
Thanks all for the pleasant company!

I used two of my Breda photo's from yesterday for my Photo 150 "2022" challenge, so I can better post them here as well

p2: Park Valkenberg, too cold to sit on the benches

A7ii + Tamron 28-200 Di III RXD


p3: The ceiling of the Grote Kerk (Large Church)

A7Rii + Voigtländer Super Wide Heliar 15/4.5 III

It was a fun day.
Too bad I didn't bring gloves, cause it was @#$I*& cold.
Luckily I could lend some small bags that were chemically heating my hands.
Enough complaining. I wasn't in Breda too often, so it was a new experience.

I started using my Lensbaby Edge 80mm
The lens allows picking an in-focus-plane.
See what I mean

D01 Breda beguinage

The in-focus area runs from the bottom left corner to the small house on the right side.

And then some experimenting with it

D02 Horizontal


D03 Vertical


D04 diagonal: Small church on Beguinage territory


D05 bottom: Small room, just enough for one beguine




All ILCE-1 Lensbaby Edge 80mm @ F/2,8

@Pieter, did I now just see you popping up in the 8 o'clock news during the analoque revival item?

That is a great start
I just came home from my weekend staying with Tonny. Camera's with pictures still in the bag. I will see if I get them on the computer tomorrow.

Thanks Joe.
It is a lot smaller and lighter than the average tilt/shift lens.

Harm, what they saw in HB03 was this:

D06


Photographing photographers is a Dyxum-Meeting-Hobby
So here are the others

D07 we had chicken for dinner


D08 Harm I didn't see the result yet


D09 For some inexplicable reason this is called The Red Bridge


all taken with ILCE-1 and 7020GMM2

I will turn to decent subjects in the next batch

Domien, you really need to photograph photograpers taking photo's of other photographers (extending the Droste effect )

Harm, I really like the pano


p5: let's start at the beginning, what do you do when two participants need an hour to find the meeting place in the station and two others are still underway on the train? Well, you drink coffee and do silly wide-angle shoot-outs, what else

A7Rii + Voigtländer Super Wide Heliar 15/4.5 III


p6: In case you get lost on the canals of Breda there's always the lighthouse to save you



p7: He was happy to see us, but he didn't give us any candy



p8: A close up of Hercules and the Nemean Lion


p6 - p8: A7ii + Tamron 28-200 Di III RXD

More to come
