Nice shots, Genster, and seems like a very well kept museum. What's going on in #14? Looks like some sort of game like curling, but no ice, and on the roof... :?:

Wonderful Genster. I find your use of light, composition and perspective an inspiration....

Great pictures of one of the great and early established open air museums...I also like the Zuider Zee museum at Enkhuizen and I expect there would be some great boat shots as well as all the buildings.

There is a real depth to these pictures - I noticed a similar effect in your 'castle time' and almost decided there and then to buy a GXR A12 28 but I doubt that I woild be able to achieve these results.

Beugel is the same word as stirrup (as on a horse riding saddle) and I wonder if the hoop used in the game was originally a stirrup? It has a similar shape.

Thanks Nik, Marcus, Richard and autochrome, I'm glad you all like the photos.

@ Richard: maybe you're right about origin of the name of the game, I really don't know (sorry).

Those are fantastic. It makes me regret selling the GXR. I simply don't have the talent to shoot landscapes or environmental images. You have a great talent. Can't wait to see more.

These are wonderful photos and I like the way you processed the black & white!

Very nice!
May I know what settings do you normally use for outdoor and indoor using the 28mm module?

cheers, Lok

Thanks Lok.
I do nothing special
If possible (enough light) I use ISO200 and F5.6 and adjust the shutter speed to this.
I think the rest is all basic camera-settings.
I hope this is what you mean, if not feel free to let me know.
