An oldie, but kind of a goldie.
Icey IJburg
It was a chilly, no, a friggin' cold February. Driving was pretty dangerous as I believe Code Orange was announced by the weather station. The fog plus the rising sun made the colors too tempting, so I had to park my car and take some shots. IJburg is just outside of Amsterdam. IJburg is a man-made island in Amsterdam. The Dutch are pretty famous for fighting water while creating and protecting land from it.
From JPEG to JPEG
I never bothered looking at these photographs for several years simply because they were JPEGs. At the time of photographing these stunning shots of Amsterdam's IJburg during the winter. Once I realized that I somehow switched from RAW to JPEG shooting, I thought I'd never use them. But... I never deleted them either. Until today! Fresh from the press. I scanned through my Amsterdam photographs yesterday and thought it was a shame to not use them. I'm pretty lucky that I took the time to get the temperature right with JPEG as I sometimes don't bother too much when shooting in RAW.
It's January now
While it is January right now, there is no sign of an upcoming winter or more snow. But, I got to say, this Winter has been harsh, it's a different type of cold or something. Very harsh. I don't know if it feels the same for you, but I rarely get it cold, and usually, I am pretty warm. I'm curious what this January and February hold for us, as winter is pretty cool to take photographs in!
A big double mirrored reflection screen, so everything is extra nice to look at.
Enjoying Winter...
If I enjoy Winter? Nah, but I wouldn't say no to a Winter behind a window with a cup of hot choco.
Cheers,
Ruben

Lol you so allergic to jpegs🤣 wait til you find out some Fuji photographers actually use jpeg straight from the camera with no editing as Fuji has film simulations hahah. I even just learned about RAW from you so before that I was pretty much shooting in jpeg :p
These shots turned out nice tho tbh!
Here too our January gets colder every year :/
I really am xD, I used to be even allergic to kit-lens photographs, but that changed (a tiny bit) after I edited the Drottningholm Palace. Wait, you really got that from me? I'm glad you did! Did you see the difference of quality of RAW and JPEG while editing them? ^^
Yeah, I feel a bit lucky, because this shows that I actually am paying attention when I shoot with my camera xD
Lmao I have a kit lens but it was fine surprisingly tho I still don’t use it as much cos I can notice the difference with my prime lens and would obviously choose them over the kit lens.
Yeah I would come across RAW and stuff before when I was starting but it was really confusing at that time and I didn’t really understand them.. it also didn’t help that there wasn’t much blogs and Youtube tutorials about such so I just used jpegs and lived with it. It definitely was a game changer when I learned about it haha.
I love the snow! beautiful pictures!
Thank you, snow is cool, but only behind a window! :p
