Just Won a Contest!

super congrats! That is a really great photo. I wish I had got a big old trip to Amsterdam from my recent contest winning! Total envy here :cool:
 
Goed so!

I lived in Holland for five years--loved it! I'm still jealous of you. Fine photo, too. Do you know the little model?
 
I've just won £50 in a competition at work - it's a great feeling, isn't it? Your image is fantastic - you have every reason to be proud of it.

Hey! Congrats, and welcome to the Netherlands!

Bring some wide angles, you might want to shoot the canals and architecture in Amsterdam. Bring a wide aperture if you're planning to visit the red light district at night.:p

The city is in the process of acquiring Red Light district buildings from owners and reduce the number of brothels, as well as illegal street trade, gambling etc. No need to dress as a local when shooting in the streets, they're used to tourists and local shooters alike over there. The Dutch are friendly and broadminded people.

Appointed tourists reservations: De Zaanse Schans (windmills etc) and De Keukenhof (tulips). The Dutch hardly ever go there, I've never visited them in my life.

Keep camera and wallet safe, pickpocketing tourists is a wide spread Amsterdam sport in summer time.


Welcome!
 
Wow, great news and beautiful shot, I'm always happy to see someone of us prized and happy ! Enjoy your trip to Netherland !
 
Nice shot

Nice shot

Does your daughter get to go to Amsterdam too? I am not trying to be rude, just complementing her for the win as well. She must be happy too!
