DM: Dordrecht October 24, 2021

Thanks for kicking it of Fred.
You could consider a next participant's presentation order 'from small to large', would have confused me as much as your fRtL approach.

We had great weather, great company, fun conversation, finally seeing the faces whose texts you so long red. I love Dyxunm meetings.

D01 As a starter, I have to show you this Sunstarcontrail shot to give an idea of both weather and the ubiquitous effort to photograph something original

And immediately failing the ubiquitous effort....

D02 Setting up the group shot

Great start Fred and Domien, looking forward to many more.

It was nice to see so many people and meet two more Dyxum members I hadn't met before. Thanks to Dick for helping find a nice tour that didn't overlap too much with 3 weeks ago and found some more photo spots that we didn't have time for then.

The light was indeed nice at times, but also quite harsh so PP isn't too simple to show something reasonable. Monochrome conversion (like Domien's 03 - 06) might be a good idea for some of mine as well.

But first a few in colour:

peg01: in case you had any doubts where we went



peg02: we also met a survivor of the Napoleontic wars



peg03: he "modernised" his horse, and can proudly show photos (or paintings?) of some of the battles he participated in



peg04: something fishy, keeping Leo in mind



peg05: interesting history about the Calvinistic church and Bible translation, Dordrecht was the seat of the Dutch government in the early 17th century, before it was moved to The Hague

Ok, some pictures I made. I took my macro with me in order to make some shots of vegetation.

Maybe I'll post later on some other pictures...

I enjoyed the day. Good company, nice to see lots of various gear which I'd love to have in my hands some time.

It was a lovely autumn day that I enjoyed a lot. Meeting and walking with the people behind the names, nice.
Some great shots are already posted, interesting what others see and shoot. Here some of mine.

Thanks for the group shot Fred.
As a thank you this is for you
K1


K2 transport by water is still relevant


K3 pick you up at 9


K4 Dyxum shoot out


K5 Curves

I'll start just on chronological order.

First a few I shot on my wlak from the parkinbg to our meeting point.

FS-2 Autumn colours immediately outside the parking



FS-3 A difficult to translate Dutch pun


FS-4 Wildlife



FS-5 Some characteristic facades


FS-6 And the famous Dordrecht rhyme in daylight, at the start of our real walk


FS-7 Dordrecht, a bit like Venice



I went for an all manual focus day (apart from some IR shots) with some Rokkors and my Oktoberfest lens.

#2-4 are with my Oktoberfest lens: The Primpoplan 1.9/58mm.
And #3-7 with Rokkor MD 3.5/28mm. Both on A7R2.
