Fair again

although time was short, business, appointments, and so many other things in life we have or think we have to do, I went back to the fair. 
Not completely true. 
There was a diner appointment quite near the fair. In fact, we could see and hear the fair while eating and talking.
So after dinner I took a short walk, yes it was a dinner corpulent with, for me, to much but tasteful food. So that walk serves more than just visiting the fair.
I think the fair is a wonderful place to take photographs and I hope you find that too or at least like the photo's a bit . . .

 Fishing fun


 A man's best friend


 Buying your first tickets


 Integration


 Jump


 Men's talk


 Phone is killing time


 Waiting 


 Soccer


 Some have all the fun, some have all the waiting


Waving goodbye?
Some gear talk

 All these photos were taken with an X-Pro1 and the 35mm 1.4. 
The camera and lens I mostly carry in my bag together with the things I need for, in this case, the appointment. 
So you can imagine that size is important to me. 
If space is small I change the 35mm for the 27mm. A really great small lens, but the missing aperture ring, sometimes drives me crazy, a little exaggerated . . .
Maybe I spend a post on my gear, but let me warn you, dear readers, I'm not such a gear fan. 
There once was a photographer who said:" Camera's are these terrible things we need to take photographs". 
I like that guy's opinion and his opinion about gear. 
His name? 
Ed van dear Elsken, one of my one of my heroes when it comes to photography. You might want to Google him . . .

The Carnaval is over

Image
The carnival is over. . . And because we like it and are still in the Low Country, we celebrate it, so on to Maastricht. And how busy it was, much busier than expected because the weather was not good.  But Carnival in the rain remains, maybe a little wetter than planned Carnival. Stay healthy and optimistic, even when the Carnaval is over . . .

After the renovation

Image
  yes, we did our best, but now they are on the roof, our solar panels.  The bathroom has also been renovated in between, so it was time to get out for a while.  Not too far, just a walk in nature and then also shoot a heron. Not really, of course, so no gun was involved, but with a camera.  Oh yes, and we will also go to a sunny country this year when it winters here, but more about that later. Stay healthy and optimistic, you will feel a lot better doing so . . .

Gifts, gifts.

Image
  Apparently we are now in a period where we give a lot of presents. The period in which we received a lot of presents seems to be behind us.  Not that it's a bad thing, rather the opposite. So it turns out to be true, for us at least, that giving is better than taking.  The presents are for the little ones, the children. Wonderful to see how happy they can be, how intensely they enjoy unpacking and the surprise when the gift is unwrapped in front of them. The absolute highlight appears to be the permission to bring a present when it is time to go to sleep. Stay healthy and optimistic, the world can't do without it!
