the Amsterdam photographs

Besides the amazing surprise party my friends threw me in March, they also gave me a professional photo-course! They picked travel photography as subject, couldn't be more perfect! For one whole day my 9 fellow students and I walked through the beautiful Amsterdam, while a professional photographer instructed us and gave tips as much as possible. We were forced to look for things true tourists would look for. It was weird playing the tourist in a city I know so well!

It's amazing how much I've learned in just these few hours! Here are some of the (404 to be exact!) pics I shoot that day, enjoy!

This photos is not edited! Moving your lens while photographing results in this weird effect!

Vintage market - IJ-hallen

A few weeks ago a cousin of mine told me she was going to visit the ~famous~ IJ-hallen in North Amsterdam. I'd never heard of it, but she was so excited! It's a enormous vintage market on a huge abanded industrial area in Amsterdam. I decided to join her, I love vintage!

That weekend was the last summer-edition of this year, which meant 700 (instead of the regular 500) outside stalls in total! It's insane how much stuff was exposed there, and I think 50% was below the price of 5 euro!

I didn't buy that much, but I was satisfied with my purchases! The (genuine) leather motorjacket from Mango was the buy that made my day. Or even my week! (; It's still in the Mango shops available for €99,95 - see! But I bought it second-hand (but looking as new) for only 15% of the original price! Wauw, I get excited all over again talking about it!

Isn't he beautiful? (:
