“Shoot your best-ever photos of Amsterdam”
The photographs in this book were taken over a period of about seven years with different camera formats and lenses, and are presented in a guidebook design.
Amsterdam is generally divided into five main regions, although you may come across different descriptions of the divisions. The Centrum (city centre) stretches from the first residential areas of the city to the canals, then there are the North, South, East and West districts. I have organized this book by region, with an additional chapter called ‘Nearby’, for areas and sights near Amsterdam that can be accessed in a day trip.
The districts within each region appear at the top of each page, on the upper left of the relevant photo. The photographs are labelled as ‘Places to see’, ‘Monuments’, ‘Architectural Interest’ or ‘Events’.
You’ll find more detailed information below each photo: the subject or place in the image, where the photo was taken from (my ‘hot spot’), detailed camera information, and the date the photo was taken.
Below this information, you will find details of the camera and lens used for each photo, exposure settings, the brand of negative or positive film (if applicable) and more.
Photography enthusiasts can use this data to compare the results of different combinations of formats, cameras and lenses, and to join the popular debate about analogue versus digital for printed images.
