Amsterdam...

More often known for its seedy reputation, Amsterdam is actually a very beautiful city, with a great mix of rich history and modern innovations. The bicycle is central to most people's commute. I suspect this is the reason why the main transportation system exists in trams which are great for long distances (not very efficient in my opinion). the bikes simply work great because there isn't a lot of hills, as most of amsterdam is built on reclaimed land that is surrounded all over by canals. Apparently, its under sea level.


in the day...


at night...


by the way, get ready for lots of night shots. they are one of my favourite types of shots. Mostly because you don't often see a lot of good night shots due to camera limitations, but also because I think there is so much more you can feel when you let lights tell the story.
