I&#8217;ve taken about 1,500 pics so far on my trip, so 4,500 to go before I have to empty the card.  It boggles my mind to think how much easier it is now than, say, 10-15 years ago, when 1,500 photos would&#8217;ve required 50 rolls of film or more.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dagfooyo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/flowers-welding.jpg\"  class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-213\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Below is the Arena in southern Amsterdam where I went to see Watchmen (which was AWESOME).  There was someting odd about this place.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dagfooyo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/arena-cubist-hdr.jpg\"  class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-213\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The above was an accident that occurred when I was attempting to merge three exposures into an HDR (high dynamic range) photo.  You&#8217;re supposed to do this with three or more pictures from the same angle, but I accidentally added one picture from a slightly different angle.  I love the escheresque double-exposure-like effect that photoshop produced as it desperately tried to reconcile the two images into one.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s another shot of the arena.  I know I&#8217;m supposed to be oohing and ahhing over all the historical architecture, but really this quite new area I found quite beautifully designed.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dagfooyo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/arena.jpg\"  class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-213\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also been experimenting with using long exposure in different ways.  The following shot is one of many I took out the window of the tram, holding the camera against the glass so the motion is entirely the apparent movement of the lights across the canals.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dagfooyo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/tram-long-exp.jpg\"  class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-213\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One night, I noticed that I was standing at the perfect angle that the dorm room mirror was reflecting a lamp in a window of a building far away.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dagfooyo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/reflected-lamp-hostel.jpg\"  class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-213\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Like in many cities, taggers have scratched into the glass of the metro and trams in Amsterdam.
