I happened to visit friends today who live on the 10th floor of an apartment building.
The view was beautiful.
Too bad I only brought my i-Phone with me to take pictures.
Better that than nothing

I made this photo from the 10th floor of an apartment building in Tienen BelgiumTime
I had gone there specially to make vistas of my Beautiful City of Tienen and the distant rural area with lots of greenery around it. It was a lucky day, beautiful clouds with regular rays of the sun. It was 5 in the afternoonLighting
I didn't do anything special for the lighting, I just pointed the lens and every time I saw the sun rays coming through the clouds I took several pictures. The best of them I have published hereEquipment
You may not believe it, but I only used my i-Phone for this photo. Because my Canon was under repairInspiration
My inspiration for taking such pictures is my love for nature. As a farmer's son I grew up to a large extent in and together with nature. There I learned to use my senses to be one with nature and I try to capture what I feel in this way on image. When I was 12 years old (in 1964) I obtained a first prize by writing a play, a camera with which one could only take black and white photos which then had to be developed in the darkroom (DOKa). Two teachers at school who were photo freaks took care of me and taught me to develop photos. Since there was no photon processing at that time, everything had to be right the first time. They taught me to look at the light, foregrounds, backgrounds, diagonals and much more. And so I still take pictures today, with my senses and my camera as an intermediate to apply the techniques that I learned from those two teachers as a young boy. I will remain grateful to them all my life for itEditing
All I did is sharpen the photo with the Google Photos programIn my camera bag
What I recommend everyone to have with them always and everywhere is a mirror image camera (reflex camera) so that you can really see through the lens what you are imaging. An ordinary lens A 75-300mm zoom lens A macro lensFeedback
Advice one, NEVER, NEVER go out without your camera. You can always come across something completely unexpected, where you can take the picture of your life. Save yourself the lifetime self-reproach: if I had my camera back then, I could have taken the picture of my life, I missed that moment because I didn't have my camera. Advice two: do not walk all day with your mobile phone in your hands, focus your attention on your environment instead of on the screen of your mobile phone and practice to notice things that someone else does not notice and record it on the camera. Advice three only if you have to be quick to take a picture (for example a bird flying by) you do that. Otherwise, try to view what you want to photograph from different angles, taking into account foregrounds, backgrounds and diagonals in the image. Take pictures from different directions. Take a look at the light at that moment and consider whether the photo cannot look different if there is a different position of the sun. The shadows alone can form a completely different picture. Advice four: if you buy a new camera, read the package leaflet thoroughly, go out and try "EVERYTHING", even the things you think I will never need. And take photos, photos and more photos so that all your actions eventually become reflex movements Advice five: view the photos of renowned other photographers, study them, Vieuwbug is an ideal place for this. Advice six: I have practiced various Eastern martial arts for 40 years and there was a saying there: You only master a technique if you manage to put YOUR SOUL IN IT. THIS APPLIES TO PHOTOGRAPHY, LEARN YOUR OWN SOUL, INSERT YOUR OWN FEELINGS
