I took a two week hiatus from the good ole Gram to get used to my new longer working hours and binge Bridgerton. Am I the only one who thinks that show is a hot mess? It's basically a 1800s costume drama but with taylor swift on violins and the occasional close-up of Rรฉge-Jean Page's butt ๐Ÿ˜ณ I can't help but wonder... what the *bleep* did I just watch? ๐Ÿ˜…

Happy Friday guys! You've made it throgh the second week of 2021 ๐Ÿฅณ If you don't have any plans for the weekend yet, Bridgerton is available on Netflix ๐Ÿ˜‰

Fall shows us how beautiful it is to let things go Fall shows us how beautiful it is to let things go ๐Ÿ‚

I haven't been out shooting lately. The last photo on my DSLR is from mid november. It's nearly christmas and I probably should be posting something festive, but I haven't felt inspired to create anything. The holidays feel so weird this year and my christmas spirit never lifted without the usual social gatherings and christmassy outings. Maybe mulled wine and cringe-worthy christmas movies on TV will get me in the right mood! I could watch "Home Alone" for the first time? Or should I go with "Die Hard" so we can settle that debate for once and for all?

Anyway, by lack of festive content, I'm giving you my two favorite detail shots I made this fall ๐Ÿ˜Š

The Tall Ships Race 2016

TallShipsRace1

A few weeks ago the Tall Ships Race took place in Antwerp and while the boats are well on their way to Lisbon by now, I still wanted to share a few of the snaps I took.

My boyfriend and I met up with friends for dinner at Balls’n’Glory and took a detour to visit the TSR along the way. We saw the Tall Ships prepare for sail for the first time in 2010 and they left a might impression on us. This edition we arrived late after work and didn’t have time to climb aboard and see the boats from up close. We just wandered around a little, tried not no loose each other in the sea of people, had a quick look around the market nearby and then had to hurry to the restaurant. I couldn’t remember there being so much side-gigs at the last TSR. There was a Ferris wheel, food market, concerts, fireworks, … . It would’ve been lovely to spend an afternoon out there enjoying the mighty views and animation, but “unfortunately” our food was waiting!

I still had my 35mm lens on my camera from my last outfit shoot and while it’s pretty decent to shoot a human with this lens (now that sounds weird…), it is darn hard to fit an entire three-master in the frame without having to stand a mile away from it. I like looking at the people who are in the photo by accident. Am I weird for that? Some of them are looking straight in the lens, which is pretty funny to me. They’re mostly out of focus and if they weren’t than I made them when I edited these photos (I always make my photos lighter and add contrast + sharpness because my camera is getting old and is loosing its strength). Anyway, technical things probably don’t interest you so I’m just going to leave a few more photos below for you to enjoy. I’m curious to know what date night looks like for you? After seven years of dating we’re kinda running out of inspiration, haha!

No better way to end date night than with a giant frozen yogurt to share โ™ฅ

    You got some beautiful photos! ๐Ÿ™‚ I’ve never done anything like this for a date night, haha! We do the standard movie and a meal one. It’s been a while since we’ve done that though with baby boy!

      Most of our dates are food-related too, haha! This one was rather special with boats and a meal ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Aww it looks amazing! I think that’s such a fun date night idea! Also, I love that some of them are a little out of focus – especially the one with all the twinkle lights!
