I’m a bit of an amateur photographer – I studied photography at A Level, and it’s always been a hobby of mine. Snapshots is the feature where I share some of that photography! All of the photos link to my Flickr account, in case you’re interested in viewing more.
Today’s theme is: Dutch Life. Snapshots I’ve taken in other cities but Leiden!

Rotterdam – one of the few areas I found that looked typically ‘Dutch’.

Amsterdam – someone has painted over the Cookie Monster now though…

I’m sad someone painted over Cookie Monster! He’s cute!
Yeah, and it’s not even a nice redesign 😦
WOW great pictures!! I love the first 2 especially! What kind of camera do you use?
Thank you 😀 I have a Samsung NX1000, it’s a hybrid camera.
Aw, that cookie monster is just adorable! It’s too bad he got painted over though. 😦
I know 😦 There’s some really awesome graffiti in Amsterdam though.
I love this! I’m a huge photography fan. I used to do black and white photography in the darkroom back in school, but now I’ve downgraded to my phone, haha.
Black and white is still my favorite. I love interesting buildings, old doors, artistic graffiti, and candid portraits of people (even though it makes me feel like a creep).
Also, the cookie monster is adorable. 🙂
Thank you Maraia 🙂 I still use my phone occasionally, so handy to have that around if I’m not carrying my camera. The Haarlem picture was taken on my phone actually.
I love b&w pics too 😀 And candid portraits are the best. I’ve never really tried portrait photography to be honest.
It’s nice that phones have been improved so much that I never would have guessed that was a phone picture. 🙂
Back when I used film/digital SLR cameras, my zoom lens let me take pictures of people without them even knowing. It’s a lot harder to be sneaky if I stick my phone in their faces, haha.
Yep, although Instagram also probably played a big part!
I’m junk at photography but I love doing it.
I have to take a million photos to be happy with one – and if you love it, then it’s all good 🙂
NOOOOO someone painted over the cookie monster? What a horrible decision! And yes, I love photography and especially yours! Amsterdam is such a beautiful city!
Yep, when I went past the other week he was gone 😦 Thank you, Valerie!
