On a Hazy Morning Andres & Joyce de Lange run Amsterdam based photography company and blog, On a Hazy Morning. [. . . ] Daily, there are thousands of bicycles ‘stacked’ around the city. This location offers a great vantage point of the city – we like to get creative and crouch down to capture images through the spokes of the bicycles! ’ Photography tip from Canon Get creative with different angles and use depth of field to accentuate striking details. Experiment with the HDR setting on your camera, to capture the flags on the outside of the building or the beautiful windows. Grand Hotel Amrâth Prins Hendrikkade 108, 1011 AK Built at the start of the 20th century, the Grand hotel Amrâth was designed by avant-garde artists of the Art Nouveau movement. The hotel is one of the most compelling examples of Dutch architectural Art Nouveau - the abundance of detail the building offers tells a story of sea voyage and maritime myths. ‘ Andres & Joyce, On a Hazy Morning: The classical architecture of the hotel is so elegant and decadent. For us, the beautiful cast iron and wooden framework of the building, coupled with its stunning glass roof gives us so much photographic potential. Don’t forget to look up – it’s a must see! ’ Photography tip from Canon Reflective surfaces, such as that of the Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ, are great for capturing a moment in its full glory. They bring colour, motion and the ability to transform an ordinary scene into something special. Top tip, calm conditions and the morning’s first rays will make for standout reflective photography. Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ Piet Heinkade 1, 1019 BR The Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ is a concert hall for contemporary classical and international jazz music situated on the banks of the river IJ. The architectural concrete and steel masterpiece features a striking glass wrap around façade boasting spectacular views across the river. Named a “concert hall for the 21st century” it’s a fine example of Dutch contemporary architecture. ‘ Andres & Joyce, On a Hazy Morning: This wondrous modern building offers so many interesting photo opportunities. We love to play with reflections when it comes to photography so the glass windows and lights that bounce off the river give us so much creative inspiration. The stairs and shapes the space features also allows us to gain fresh perspectives on otherwise traditional shots. ’ Hortus Botanicus Plantage Middenlaan 2a, 1018 DD Photography tip from Canon When photographing plants or flowers, a macro setting can really help to capture the textures and veins of a leaf, for example. [. . . ] With a 30x optical zoom you can get closer to those hard to reach subjects and capture finer detail on the bustling streets of any city.
