A Week In Brussels

The Grande Place In Brussels
The Grande Place In Brussels

We got back last Thursday from a week in Brussels. It was a dual-purpose visit – part holiday and part investigation – and we wrote about it on the Quillcards Blog under the title Brussels – Hiding in Plain Sight.

Please consider taking a look and commenting.

Meanwhile, the photo here is a shot of one of the buildings in the Grand Place in Brussels. I took it using the Camera+ app on my iPhone and then ran it through the PhotoStudio app which has some ‘effects’ including this one named Burnt Paper.

I took most of the photos during the week with my Olympus E-PM1 and a little kit zoom lens that worked out pretty well. It’s a 14-42mm lens that is equivalent to a 28-84mm in standard 35mm, so it covers that range from pretty wide to short tele.

The lens costs less than £70.00 (about $105.00) so it is not expensive as lenses go. And it closes up fairly small as well. All in all – not as sharp as the 45mm Olympus I have, but good enough.

  1. That is a fabulous shot David. Great edge effect, lighting, comp – as always, I’m pleasantly surprised

    1. I like it because it was a case of the effect matching the subject.

  2. I really like that picture … as you say, the effect matches the subject! Will head over to the other blog now 🙂

  3. the theme changed, as I posted the previous comment! LOL

    1. 🙂

      The images look slightly bigger with this theme.

      1. …and they’ve removed that cool feature they had, when you wanted to have a static front page.

        1. I didn’t understand. Who has removed the feature of having a static front page?

          1. I wasn’t very clear there LOL. I was thinking about their theme Twenty Twelve — there is a quite nice way of setting up the static front page there.

            1. And can’t you do it with your theme?

              1. no, it was only in Twenty Twelve they had this.

                I have a test page here: http://iflurries.wordpress.com where you’ll see what I mean..

  4. We are spending a week in Brussels in September. I’m hopping over to your other blog now to pick up some tips.
