Two in the Market

I caught this one from barely a metre away. It was close enough to count the grey in his beard, close enough that the glass roof of Spitalfields Market softened into geometry behind them.

It was early in the morning and the market was still being set up. I wonder if they were tourists in the area just like me.

An early evening walk at the Loonse and Drunense Duinen.

This place holds a special place in my heart, and I often find myself walking straight toward a familiar spot among the shifting sands. Today was one of those evenings. The sun was already low, nearing sunset, casting a warm golden light across the landscape.

Close to the ground, I noticed a small patch of grass catching that last light. Surrounded by sand, it stood there quietly, glowing. By lowering my perspective and opening up the aperture, I allowed the foreground and background to gently fade into softness, letting the light and the subject take center stage.

These inland sand dunes are shaped by wind, constantly moving and reshaping the terrain. It’s a dynamic landscape, even when it feels still.

Captured with my Canon 5DS R and Sigma 24–70 Art, ISO 350, 1/500 sec.

More moments from this evening walk will follow.

EDIT: It's called Cymbalaria muralis, commonly known as ivy-leaved toadflax

Many thanks to @meoralis

I don't know what these are called.
They're tiny, purple and they grown on walls. That's my expert description, now help me find the name of these flowers. 😁

Wish my zoom lens wasn't broken this week. Getting a shallow depth of field with a 35mm lens requires getting close. Really close. The first cable car driver gave me a shout to get out of the way, but this guy gave me a smile and a wave! #cablecar #sanfrancisco #photography #darktable #nikon #d200 #shallowdepthoffield

This abandoned drink caught my eye - wedged in like that it's got leading lines and complimentary colors, and the shallow depth of field in the center gives it a three dimensional feel. #photography #darktable #trash #garbage #shallowdepthoffield #nikon #d200

Gotta get off the path, have to get close.
