Welcome! One of the things I like about digital things, the endless possible variations. Also means nothing ever is done, which is a bursen to my autistic brain, but there you go 😂

The fun in photography. Each viewer has a different view. I recently participated in a master class photography and it was really good to hear everybody talking about the same picture, it gives so much more perspective and insight.

I've been scrolling up and down a bit and I can't really decide either. The mono works really well, but maybe bump up the contrast on the color one to give it more punch and see what happens? A bit of fiddling with the curve(s) maybe? For now I think they do equally good to be honest.

#FourPhotosOneMonth September 2026 The windmill and the moon. The puddle. Silence... and more silence.
A close-up shot of a Dutch windmill with lattice sails on the left, set against a calm blue-grey evening sky with a luminous yellow almost full moon glowing on the right.Low-angle black and white photograph of a historic stone hallway featuring Gothic vaulted ceilings. A heavy, panelled wooden door stands wide open on the left. In the background, a far-off door with glass panes is visible and clearly reflected in a puddle of water on the stone floor.A vertical black and white photograph inside a grand cathedral or church. Massive, weathered stone pillars dominate the left foreground and depth of the frame. Shafts of sunlight stream through the arches, highlighting a small grouping of wooden chairs set against a pillar. The floor features a high-contrast, black-and-white checkered tile pattern leading down a tall, vaulted corridor.A high-angle, vertical photograph looking down at a calm, greyish-blue sea meeting a narrow pebble beach at the base of a steep, chalky cliff on the right side. The water shows small white-capped waves, and the horizon blends into a thick, cloudy sky.

#BlueSkyArtShow #AOFoto Texture, light and patterns. #EastCoastKin #ECK #Photography #Bricks #ClassicMono #BlackAndWhite
A landscape black and white photo of some bricks, the ordinary type, lit up from the left and running from about bottom left to top right, e.g. diagonal. The bright light makes for hard contrasts, running shadows and very good texture display of the bricks.

#BlueSkyArtShow #AOFoto Shapes. #EastCoastKin #ECK #Photography #ClassicMono #BlackAndWhite #Shapes #Perspective #Contrast
A black and white landscape photo of some big concrete slabs, viewed a bit skewed and they run from bottom left to top right, diagonal. Top of the frame on the right is a round black rug, just there in the open air. Weird. The square white slabs and the black round rug give a good contrast, both in shape and intensity.

#BlueSkyArtShow #WaterfallWednesday Somewhere in the Swiss mountains in the spring. #EastCoastKin #ECK #Photography #Nature #Scape #Frozen
A landscape colour photo of a very small waterfall. You are looking up across some moss covered rocks to the edge of the waterfall. There are frozen bits hanging down in white so you can hardly make out the waterfall, but it is there in the middle. On the background you can see the top of the mountains, far away. Bits of snow here and there because it is spring.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekMForMachinery Details matter! #BlueSkyArtShow #Photography #TrainSpotting #ClassicMono #BlackAndWhite
A landscape black and white photo of a detailed shot of the connecting mechanism between the first wheel of a steam locomotive and the piston that goes into the cylinder. A heavy contrast image with a huge nut on the wheel. Banged up metal, smaller nuts and bolts. A very graphical view of this part of the machinery.

#BlueSkyArtShow #AOFoto First time for AOFoto, hope you like it and I will try to put these into my postings every now and then. Keeps our feet on the ground. I love the initiative and goal! #EastCoastKin #ECK #Photography #Archive #Groningen #InteriorPhotography #NaturalLight
A landscape colour photo of a light green modern vase with red tulips on on an old fashioned small French cafe table. Louis the fourteenth style with a couple cafe chairs around it. In the background is a different table visible, much more modern and a little above that on a plank a bottle of rosé. Left of the rose is a candle holder for a single candle. Old fashioned silver coloured type with a burning with candle in it. And behold, there is even an ash tray on the table, indicating this was a long time ago when smoking inside a cafe was still allowed in the Netherlands.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekMForMachinery I know I promised loads of b/w pictures, but this has to be in here as well. Generating power for machinery by the wind. Question: I've considered cutting the bottom off, what do you think? #EastCoastKin #ECK #Scape #Photography #Windmills #Power #Silhouette
A colour landscape photo of a bunch of windmills going from left to right and from smaller in the background to bigger and filling the whole height on the right side of the frame. There are some small buildings on the bottom of the picture, barely visible. I did consider cutting them off, but it looked weird. The background goes from a light orange on the bottom to an off white on the top left corner because the sun is somewhere on the left side of the frame. The flow of the somewhat oval gradient is about the same as the top of the windmills. The windmills are all silhouettes due to that fact. They look like thorny plants on straights stems.

A landscape colour photo of the inside of a cabin of a forklift that has been set on fire and forgotten. Everything is rusted, knobs of the mechanism melted off and the steering wheel is nothing but a thin steel circle. Small pieces of charred somethings here and there.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekMForMachinery #BlueSkyArtShow #MonochromeMonday I'll be bothering you this entire week with a series of machineries in, mostly, black and white! 🥳 #EastCoastKin #ECK #Photography #Industrial #ClassicMono #BlackAndWhite
A black and white landscape photo of a close up of the first wheel of a steam locomotive. The photo is taken from the right and a bit above the wheel so you can see the big metal rods and stuff go into the cylinder. The whole things is high contrast black and white, more black than white by the way, and has a very oily look to it. You can almost smell this picture. Loads of bigger and smaller nuts mostly. Connecting everything together to make it go.

#BlueSkyArtShow #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin #ECK #Photography #Interior #Patterns #Repeat #BlackAndWhite
A landscape black and white photo, taken from eyes height looking at a bunch of neatly spread out chairs in rows, where each next row is half a chair to the left of the other. Looking to the middle and top of the frame the pattern seems to run away. The is emphasized by the light that lights up the chairs in the same direction, but from the back. The edges of the chairs sort of glow up. They are sleek and polished because of the many people that sat in them. The chairs themselves are of the simple wooden kind you would find at your grandparents dining table or a simple, rural French restaurant.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekMForMachines In the old paper mill. The older, the more I like it! #EastCoastKin #ECK #Photography #Urbex #Vintage
A landscape colour photo of the side view of some large, very old and rusty, flywheel (in the center) with a belt that runs to the right of the frame and out of sight. Behind that on the right another old rusty wheel of some sorts.

The left side show plants that have been growing there for a while. The concrete background wall contains two windows with iron frames at the top of the photo. There are harsh shadows on the wall due to the low sun and the roof that is completely gone, so you only see shadows of the steel framing.

Needless to say this factory has not been in use for a long time.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Stunday #ColorADay #OrangeSun #EastCoastKin #ECK #Photography #Scape #Landscape #Bridge #Sunset
A landscape colour photo of red modern arch bridge over a big river viewed from the front right. The sky contains clouds that are lit up by the setting sun. From the left dark clouds are moving in, but the light on the bridge gives it a very moody feel. Storm is about to happen. The water colour and intensity also changes from nice and light in the right to almost black on the left under the bridge.

Bastiaan @lichtsignaal.nl · 27/09/2026
Yes, it is a real prepared skeleton. It is in a natural history museum in the Netherlands. They have it in a glass cage so the lighting is really good for taking this kinds of shots.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Light A classic longshutter. #EastCoastKin #ECK #Photography #LongShutter #Highway
A landscape colour photo of a highway taken from above and dead center. Left you see stripes of yellow and white, going from bottom left to middle top and on the right side there are, of course, red stripes going from bottom right to middle top.

There are a couple stripes on both sides with some jumps in it, indicating a passing action. The background is almost entirely black. A classic long shutter speed photo of a highway.

A landscape black and white picture of a spiral shape of planks, must be stairs, I guess, leading to the center of the frame along what appear to be concrete walls in light grey. The stapes and small attaching bars to the walls are black. Dead center is a bright small circle where the light comes in.

A landscape black and white photo of the railing and path of a modern bik bridge in the Netherlands. There is a LED string on the railing, showing from about middle left to right, with a slight arc in it. In the foreground is a vague bit of a cyclist visible. Passing by from left to right.

The photo is made at night, there are some lights in the background visible that is otherwise totally black.
