Exposure 3 – A day at the beach

You won’t find me on a crowded summer beach.
But in other seasons when the elements play freely and clouds, sea and beach cooperate
in showing dynamic images, visiting a beach can be a very much enjoyable experience.
However the circumstances on this sunday in March were quite calm the clouds above sea
are causing an enjoyable and colourful showpiece on the Burgh-Haamstede beach.

Exposure 2 – Disneyland resort Paris

If you really like crowded places you should go visit EuroDisney during a school holiday.
We decided to go there and stay a few days when our kids had a week off last February.
Unfortunately for us, so had the French and Belgian kids.
But despite the enormous crowd and large cues for all attractions we really enjoyed ourselves
and had a good time.
I took along my Sony A100 and tripod but did not think it was a good idea to carry it into the parc.
Instead I used my small and handy Konica Minolta Z3 there to make some family shots.
I did use my Sony on a clear night to make the following shot of Disney Village. A collection of shops
and restaurants just outside the parc and a great subject for night photography:
