After a visit to Zeeland (south-west part of the Netherlands) a couple of weeks ago, we drove home in my man’s convertible. The sky was colouring beautifully as the sun was setting, so I couldn’t help to make some photos. The circumstances were difficult, so the photos aren’t sharp as usual, and they’re a bit noisy too. But I like them enough to share them. A weird atmosphere, right?

Not all locations were suitable for a stop, so I made some from the driving car. Worth the experiment, I think. The photo below was made with pretty normal camera settings, leading to a blurred foreground. I think it’s still pretty interesting.

A few minutes later (and a few minutes darker too), we approached a wall with people. For this, I needed some amount of sharpness,  or a very short shutter time, so I set the iso to the max.

We did stop at some locations, so the next ones were made with normal iso (200).
