Amsterdam Photo Diary

Welcome to my Amsterdam photo diary. Sometimes I can’t put everything I felt into words and you know what they say – a picture tells a thousand words.

Below you will find a selection of images that I believe showcase what Amsterdam is all about (through my eyes/lens). Beyond the canals, I have tried to capture the minor details which are often overlooked, the way of life in the Netherlands and of course, all of the food!

Each image comes with a brief caption – often a description but sometimes a thought from that moment. I hope you enjoy!

Although difficult to see, there are large hooks on the top of every canal house in Amsterdam. This is used to pull furniture up to the higher floors.

Cheese is to the Dutch what gelato is to the Italians.

In the evening time the bridges light up in streams of solid globes – don’t miss it!

Whilst photographing the flower pots on this particular bridge, the lady who planted them came over to give an inspiring talk about “her garden” (which was 3 pots total). She was the kind of person that would let you pat their dog. Sadly, no dog in sight.

Camera Gear:

Thanks for dropping by! Interested in the camera gear I use?

I took all of the above images on my Olympus OMD EM5 Mark II. Most images are using my new 25mm PRO lens. Some of the landscape shots were taken with my 12-40mm PRO lens.

I edit my photos with lightroom.

You can find more of my photography tips and tricks here.

Please leave any questions or lovely comments below – I would love to answer any Q’s!

NOTE: All images are mine except for the ones containing me. They were taken by the lovely Omar.
