New shoot in the rain, Utrecht CS

Rain and light, one of my favorite combinations!

Shooting in the rain

A warm night, thunder and lightning in the background (too bad it wasn't closer and more powerful), lots of rain and a nice program on the television. Perfect moment to change clothes, grab the camera and go outside! I really like shooting in such circumstances.

Utrecht by night

Trajectum Lumen. Utrecht. It's a path through the city center marked by little lights in the pavement. Not all guides work, but most of them do. It's possible to download the map or an application on the site http://www.trajectumlumen.nl/portal. Inspired by the images of Nicolas "Sparth" Bouvier, I went to the beginning of the tour. The first idea was to take pictures of the things you can see of the route, but changed my mind a bit. Will take the tour again soon.

First serie inspired by Nicolas Bouvier:

And some more sight-seeing:

Misty Utrecht

Two days of mist is what took away the view in Utrecht but instead of locking me inside I felt inspired to go out with the camera. Mist wasn't the only thing that can spoil your pictures, I also chose to go out at the evening. After getting dressed for a cold and wet night I packed my bag and closed the door behind me. No watch or phone did I take with me and I left the bike where it was to go on foot. Those things were with good reason. I didn't want to rush, I didn't want the time to be of any influence. I went on foot and I only wanted to return if I had a good picture.
First part was the park.. Tried a bit but it was too dark to be able to make any interesting pictures. Too little contrast in the area. After that I decided to go to the city center. There were alot of cars, bikes and pedestrians giving a nice image with lights and shadows. I shot some silhouets and went to the next place. Utrecht Central Station, tram-stop. Busses went on and off, cars passed and sometimes a tram came by. There were more pedestrians and bikes here and the wet ground gave some nice reflections.
After that I had a small trip through the city but I didn't get that interesting images. I've got 2 series of 3 pictures now that I want to share. First serie is the red serie of the tram-rail close to my home. Second serie is the blue (almost black and white) serie that I took at Utrecht CS. Comments are more than welcome. Either positive or negative. I prefer the negative ones with arguments so I can learn from it :)
