As I have practiced it, photography produces pleasure by simplicity. I see something special and show it to the camera. A picture is produced. The moment is held until someone sees it. Then it is theirs.

~ Sam Abell

This is my image sumbission for the Red Category of +Chrysta Rae's Photography Scavenger Hunt.

The fact of storytelling hints at a fundamental human unease, hints at human imperfection. Where there is perfection there is no story to tell

~ Ben Okri

The title says it all. I didn't choose a "perfect" dandelion because it has no story to tell. This one does... for me ...

Your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world. Constantly color your picture gray, and your picture will always be bleak. Try adding some bright colors to the picture by including humor, and your picture begins to lighten up

Sunrise Les Sept Fontaines, Rhode-Saint-Genèse Belgium

This is a reshare but slightly modified.


1): I hate it when i post an image on G+, that it isn't as contrasty as the original !!

2): Noise Alert!!. I just can't get rid of the noise...Too much noise reduction and i lose all of the details. Is there a neat software for noise reduction?

Watermarks... Good or Bad?

I've decided to no longer use watermarks. I don't even know why i should...
The only reason why i used it so far is because i found it cool seeing my name on the picture.
Well...not anymore.

Any thougths?

Ruins of the Montaigle Castle - Belgium

I've been there 3 months ago with my uncle +Marc Huyghebaert. It's amazing to see ruins. Knowing the history about it makes it more special. The only problem is that i forgot where i took this one.
