Deventer Blue Sunset, Netherlands
Deventer
by Adelheid Smitt

A beautiful sunset looking towards the city from the bridge over the river IJssel.

Deventer blue hour (explored)
Deventer
by Adelheid Smitt

This photo was taken on one of the brighter days we have had so far this year. A different angle on the city skyline and the IJssel River than my previous images. This one was taken from the Wilhelminabrug. A little tricky because the traffic makes the bridge tremble quite a bit. I was glad for the magenta coloured cloud cover in the sunset. On the left the lights of the new pier can be seen.

Another blue hour shot of my home town Deventer. There is a nice viewpoint just over the river IJssel which actually makes it very easy to photograph the skyline of the city, with the Lebuinus Church tower as focal point.

Deventer Golden Hour
Deventer
by Adelheid Smitt

Finally a chance to photograph my home city using my new Canon 6D, a 24-70 f/4 lens and a 10 stop Lee filter. The image is much sharper than my previous attempts. For post processing I admit to having been inspired by some of Henk Meijer's photographs.

A different view of Deventer this time, still from accross the IJssel river. This view features on the St. Nicholas chruch, also known as the "bergkerk" or hill church as it stands on a slightly elevated spot in town.

Deventer

My 500th photo on Flickr, and during these troublesome times and little travel, I think it is fitting to post another photo from my hometown Deventer, Netherlands. This was taken last week on the evening of the supermoon.

Deventer lies on the IJssel River and having a river running through a city always makes for great photo opportunities.

My previous evening captures of Deventer were a little late in the evening. This time I wanted to catch the blue hour on a nice clear evening.

The church of Deventer and the houses along the river front always make for a great photo I think.

Elburg Blues, Netherlands (explored)
Elburg
by Adelheid Smitt

The town of Elburg was once a Hanseatic port. Modern developments mostly bypassed the town so it kept its pretty medieval character and is now popular with tourists.
