Amsterdam public transport – second to none! I just love riding on the trams.
Not just any printing press. This press was used by the Dutch Resistance during World War 2 to print leaflets. More than 20,000 Dutch people were arrested because of their work with the Dutch Resistance. 2,000 Resistance workers were executed. Many Resistance workers were sent to concentration camps. So many brave people.
I whacked this image with a lot of retro effects in Photoshop. Such an attractive young lady! The new texture slider in Adobe Camera RAW certainly helps in the retro department.
This time something a little different when I am using the new Texture Slider in Adobe Camera RAW. I like using the new texture slider together with the dehaze slider when taking my images into monochrome. You can have a lot of fun with this new slider! Great if you want to give your images a little bit of zizz!
Not two things you see together often…

Well, I was going to go into Amsterdam today to take photographs of the King’s Day festivities but quite a bit of rain today and so I took the easy option and sat on the boat and watched old movies. What a lazy old geezer!
Here’s an image from King’s Day 2018 instead.
A novel concept. You lower a small bucket containing 1 beer, passers-by take the beer and leave a couple of Euros in the bucket. A brilliant marketing technique!!

Please click on the Soundcloud link below, close your eyes and join me on the streets of Amsterdam for the King’s Day (27 April) celbrations. Amsterdam turns into one big street party on King’s Day and boats with very loud sound systems and celebrating crew members tour the city’s canals having what can only be described as a very good time!
