Hallo, ik wil geen melding maken van 'n situatie. Ik vind dat de de gemeente de stad weer 's moet doorlopen en dit soort excessen aanpakken. En begin rustig in het Belgisch Park, want daar is genoeg vinden.

Let's do some film.

Complicated fysical ‘construction’. 🤔

Uh… @gemeentedenhaag.bsky.social , kan er niet ‘s wat gedaan worden aan het vrijhouden van stoepen voor mensen in een rolstoel of met een rollator? In het Belgisch Park wordt het steeds erger.

Such a contrast in the streets of Thamel, Kathmandu.

The tall and beautiful Nyatapola Temple on the Taumadhi Square of Bhaktapur in 2014. The tallest of Nepal luckily survived the eartquake of 2015.

Maybe, but he’s the president. And all that comes from the Whitehous, comes from him. And he’s filling his pockets.
Don’t underestimate him.

The beautiful jade-coloured East Rapti River, flowing through the south of Nepal.

The canal region of Amsterdam is nice, very nice.

Why short?

After the berieved have said farewell and left money, the person responsible for the cremation wil gather the money and start the fire. And count the money. The family has left.

Amazing, this habit of watching cremations. What drives people to do this? Do they want to learn something?

If I was that stupid and that succesfull, I’d be smiling all day. As he does!

How many did we miss?

A monkey in the Pashupatinath watches the first steps of a cremation: the washing of the deceased in the river by the eldest son, who has his hair shaved of as a sign of mourning.

Absolutely 🤫

Watching cremations is quite popular with locals, tourists and others 🤐. The platform across the river is expensive to rent for a cremation. Only the rich can afford it. And that's where viewers are found.

Who cares, the quality of your photography is dictated by your lens (Leica) and your film. The rest is not too important.

Jordan, what are you saying?

You have an example of that?

In Kathmandu people can cremate their dead at the Pashupatinath, an important religious centre. One can go there and see these cremations, and even photograph them.
A remarkable place

What makes this photo of Stark Mountain by Ansel Adams so special? Is it the angle at which he shoots it. Or the use of monochrome and the zone system. Or the background?
Or is it just a photo of something special?

“Stark Mountain” by Ansel Adams

Women in Kathmandu, Nepalese and western. Many westeners live in Nepal for short or longer periods. It's attractive for adventurous people.

?, but your welcom.

Yes but camera equipment this expensive must use lensen that can do exposure time priority AE and focussing with aperture open. And I understand that it doesn’t perform well in reliable colors. My M10 is monochrom, so I’m happy.

Believers walking round the Buddha Temple in Kathmandu and turning every prayer wheel.

This is an EVF, which “looks through the lens” like the SLR. The SLR ALWAYS focusses with the aperture open. Even if you set it to 16 or 5,6. When you make the photo the aperture closes for a split second. Focusing manual or AF without that is lousy. And what about AE? It has to be electronic!
