A night shot from the archives…Amsterdam looking all lovely.

A boat passed by me while I am photographing a canal in Amsterdam...

An afternoon stroll in Amsterdam produces this photo, which I converted to monochrome for a change.

On my last trip to Amsterdam, I happened to show up at the Rijksmuseum at the right time for a stunning twilight and blue hour.  Though sunset was non-existent, the rest of the magic hour was really beautiful! 

There is just so much to photograph in Amsterdam - it's a very beautiful city.  Today's post takes you along on a virtual tour of some of the sights, and I talk about how I created these images thanks to a couple of tricks that helped turn them from bright, sunny images to give more of a Fall look.  Enjoy!

I really love the city of Amsterdam.  Most people think of it as a place to go party, but not me - it's a place to take beautiful photographs.  There is just so much loveliness in Amsterdam - have a look at today's crop of 12 photos and let me know your thoughts! 

I am always carrying a list with me when I travel to any city, and the list contains all the big, important things I hope to photograph while I am there.  And I think that is a good thing.  But equally - if not more - important, is noticing, enjoying and photographing the little things that you see while out there.  They add a lot to your experience and enjoyment of a city.  So today, here's a few of the "little things" I enjoyed in Amsterdam!

While everyone loves a sunset shot, it's well worth getting out and shooting in the afternoon too - especially if you happen to be in Amsterdam!  Here's 3 photos to help convince you.  :-)

Sometimes you get lucky and the sunset gets all awesome for you!  And you happen to be in Amsterdam!

It's hard to beat a great sky, a big canal, and some fabulous architecture...

Running amok with my iPhone in Amsterdam and London.....good times.
