I'm sure a few people on this forum went on a Canal Cruise while visiting Amsterdam. Not so many people know the Amsterdam Harbour is also very scenic, especially if you're a fan of shipping and industrial activity. Last Friday I went on a Harbour Cruise operated by Stromma. It was kind of a private cruise as a friendly English couple and I were the only passengers. In fact, we were outnumbered by the crew! This series was shot with an Olympus E-M10II + Panasonic 12-32mm f3.5-5.6 lens and Nikon D5500 + Nikkor 70-200mm f4 lens. Olympus images processed from RAW in Lightroom, Nikon images from Jpeg in Lightroom (D5500 RAW's not supported in my version of Lightroom). 1. Our ship for the cruise 2. River Cruise Ships (I'm sure Mike G can tell us more about these kind of ships) 3. More ships moored at the Piet Heinkade 4. View on Filmmuseum EYE and A'DAM Tower 5. Detail of A"DAM Tower (this image was shot from the opposite side of the river IJ). At the right the swing of the "Lookout Experience" 6. Loading or unloading of bulk carrier 7. Amsterdam Marina 8. Damen Shiprepair 9. Former Russian submarine, at one time meant to be converted to party boat. That plan didn't work out 10. Amstel Botel 11. Tugboat, in the background Calvin Klein office en Moxy hotel 12. Lots of activity, great to watch and photograph 13. Fertiliser Factory 14. 15. Silodam

Today was my day off and the perfect weather and light for this shoot which I had planned some time ago. All images Olympus E-M10II + Olympus 12-40mm f2.8 or Samyang 7.5mm f3.5 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Steigereiland is a new built area of Amsterdam which is kind of a modern floating village with houses built on water. Quite an original idea but I would not want to live there. No garden and very close to a lot of neighbours. This series was shot when the surrounding waters were frozen. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

A series of images shot at the IJ area in Amsterdam-Oost. The IJ is the river which separates the old city from the new Northern part of town which used to be quite desolate and unpopular. But as house prices are rising at an alarming rate the once unpopular areas are redeveloped and taken over by youngsters and are again becoming fashionable. The houses located on the city side waterfront are mostly converted warehouses, only affordable for expats or double income households. I like this part of Amsterdam as it is less flooded with tourists than the city centre and provides some great photo opportunities. All images Olympus E-M10 and E-M10 II + Olympus 12-40mm f2.8 and Panasonic 35-100mm f3.5-5.6 1. Java-island (an artificial island on the Northern part of town) 2. Java-island 3. Odessa Yoga ship 4. Renovated Warehouse 5. Bridge of Passenger Terminal Amsterdam PTA (for cruise ships) 6. Front of PTA 7. Bim (music) house, Music Building at the IJ
