The twin lanterns

Backlit lanterns just outside the Kasuga Shrine in Nara, Japan. Taken in an incredible rush as the light started to fade, I think it worked out well.

Jazz street musicians in London

The Embankment in London, close to the London Eye, is usually packed with jugglers, magicians, living statues and all kinds of attractions trying to make a couple of pounds off the tourists. Today these two trumpetists and their drummer spiced up things a lot underneath the Hungerford bridge for natural amplification with some hot jazz.

The image above was compiled out of three photos. I didn't have the intention to stitch the photos together when I took them, but I discovered that there was enough overlap to do so. The only problem left was that if I wanted some space above the guy on the left, I needed to fill in the space above the head of the guy on the right as the angles had been different. Luckily a third photo provided me with enough of the underside of the bridge to make it work (for the not too critical eye).

Wetzlar, Germany

View from Lahner Bridge, Wetzlar, Germany

Wetzlar is a small, pittoreske town, about 65 Kilometers from Frankfurt am Main, in Germany. Actually we were visiting Hans, a friend of ours, who lives in Frankfurt. And when he told us about this town, immediately all alarm bells rang in my head. Because here in this beautiful little town, two worldfamous brands in photography have their residency! First of all, Carl Zeiss, the lens manufacturor, who, amongst others, makes lenses for the best camera in the world: Hasselblad (yes, I do have one...:P). Another very famous brand is located in this town: Leica, a company which makes great camera's. So...of course I had to come and visit this little town. It was a strange day for weather, extremely bright lights, and dark clouds, difficult photography weather. However, I managed to make a few nice shots. Enjoy, folks !
