Jan Paul had to visit his sister who lives in the city of Breda. It’s been a while since I was there, and we’d planned to shoot some pictures after the visit. It was pretty cold, and I shot a few pictures, but the scenery sucked compared to the rest of the week.
Oh well, it can’t all be a party.
I thought that this picture of castle Bouvigne was the better one of the bunch (too bad it was closed, I would’ve loved to visit it’s English, German and French garden).
I imported the RAW of the picture below in two stages, one sharpened, one extremely blurred. The picture itsself already had a shallow depth of field. I put one in a layer over the other, then used a mask to combine the blurry background with the sharp latern.
The sign warns that the ice is dangerous. I guess a few weeks of freezing just doesn’t help covering some dodgy moats with ice.
