Palendorp Petten

Wet feet??.


Wet feet, luckily it wasn't too bad. But it was nerve-wracking to leave your camera on a tripod
when the water came up and you took a few steps back.

Well, there it is, finally. It's been on my list for a long time, and many have
gone before me to this photogenic spot, "Palendorp" (Stone Village) near Petten. This beautiful
artwork consists of 160 poles, ranging in length from six to twelve meters. The poles
are shaped like ten houses and a church. It's a reminder of old
Petten, which was long ago flooded by the sea.
ND filter on the lens, camera on a tripod, and composition.
The weather upon arrival was still disappointing; there wasn't much detail in the sky.
HDR had to be used again to create some contrast.
Printed in a limited edition, max. 10 available.
Print, Dibont, and other materials are available.
Price upon request.
