★ Photo Post – Amsterdam – May 2011

I wasn’t planning on this post nor was I planning on taking any more than 3 photos while in Amsterdam. Something happened today and I found myself not going immediately back to my hotel after work. This was a busy trip with very little downtime so I was mostly interested in sleeping and writing. Today, I got a little bit too much sun but got some very good photos of Amsterdam.

If you would like, please take a look at my photos from the October trip to Amsterdam for comparisons. Pretty remarkable how far I’ve developed the skills since then. Oh, the days of Photoshop presets and now I’m in a camera with interchangeable lenses and a larger sensor but also LightRoom 3 which has changed the way I process photos.

Enjoy!

Bikes were flying past and these 6 decided "none shall pass" I waved, snapped a photo and they finally moved. I got a few nasty looks. Better that than being run over by bicycles.
